1984 190E... Just Got It! Now, what?

Hello friends.

I just aquired my first Mercedes Benz. (4/6/07)

Its a 1984 190E that I got because the previous owner didnt want to go to the trouble of selling it himself.

It has been sitting for over a year. I got it started after I put some gas in the tank and jumped the battery. Aired up the tires, and drove it home!

So far, I have replaced the spark plugs, and thermostat. That right there helped alot!

The little car is in fairly good shape. 129K on the odometer.

The A/C is not working, and the electric radio antenna is broken off. Right rear door window motor does nothing, yet. All other doors are fine.

Car has a sunroof. It doesent open. Can anyone get me started on getting to the motor? It whirs when I press the switch oneway, and makes no noise pressing the other way. OR, should I just leave it alone? Its not leaking.

Sorry for all the questions, but, here goes. Its an automatic transmission, and today when I drove it up the street after the plug replacement, it was in 4th gear before I was up to 25 mph... 1-2-3-4 in less than 6 seconds.

Is there a vacuum connection for the shift pattern, or is it all done by the throttle cable?

One thing I DO like about this car is: The Quality. I drove it on a rough street this afternoon, and heard no rattles, squeaks of any kind. Pretty good for a 23 year old car, I think, that has had some rough treatment in the past.

I ordered an oil filter, and air filter from my parts guy today. On Tuesday, it gets its first oil change. Im glad I found this forum. Thank you for having me!

Bruce
