Everything that affects a similar vintage 190E 2.3 will also follow for this car, less the engine....
The 5 cylinder diesel is the same as the OM603 6 cylinder used in the 300D and 300SDL. Similar plus/minus issues for the 190 engine, EXCEPT the head is not nearly as prone to cracking as the original "14" heads are on the OM603s.
Just expect the usual problems consistent with a 22 year old mercedes that may or may not have had good care.
Had a 5 speed 190D 2.5 for a while, tight fit if you're approaching 6 feet tall......
