M104 Engine What to Look For
Dear Folks -
I'm looking to get a '95 E320 to replace my 189K '91 2.6...and have seen some of the posts regading the "peculiarities" -- wiring harness, etc. There is a pretty constant supply here in the Metro DC area......
Were these ever replaced under warranty, so that there may be records within the M-B system under the VIN?
Is there a way to tell if it's ever been replaced? I've also heard of a weakness in the "actuator" - is this the M104 version of the old fuel distributor??
Also, looked at a '95 that had obviously had a light respray on the bumper and clearcoat "freshening". Don't believe it was really hit, but rather cosmetically gone over. However, the outside air temp sensor (behind the front license plate, right??) was tucked inside the bumper cover which I believe led to a steady reading of 107-108 degrees. All of the other electrical seemed to be in good order, other than needing an A/C recharge.
Any comments or further "look for's" wowuld be appreciated.
