I recently bought a 190e 2.0 with an mechanical injector only to later discover that it can't get to 1km without swallowing up to 5liters . i got the car thinking its takes less fuel than other bigger saloon cars.I took it to a Benz mechanic and he says the injector is alright Pls car experts or any 190e owner or anyone who has experienced this should give me a lasting solution.

Just 2 things
Either the injector is bad or the engine is gone
That car gulps fuel when the engine is going

Sorry, tell your mechanic to tune up your car carburettor. If he can't, be prepared to buy another working carburettor.
Pls, use only same type of carburettor.

The W201 Mercedes Benz came with the M102 engine which had either the option of a Bosch Mechanical fuel injection system aka Jetronic or Stromberg 175CD Carburetor.

The problem with injection system was that it being mechanical, required adjustments and fine tuning afyer the car had racked in thousands of miles. Unfortunately, the proper factory recommend processes are not in use in Nigeria. Despite this, some 'injector specialist' had over the years of tinkering found a way of adapting the CIS to almost a sane level.

The Stromberg Carburetor was extremely reliable with application covering many different cars. It was easy to maintain and can last a million kilometres.



But first, to confirm if your car's fuel consumption is really high, check the condition of your spark plugs. This is a wonderful tell-tale of the CIS system... confirm if it is carbon fouled or oil fouled.

If plugs are bad, kindly change them first.

Secondly, be sure that your distributor, the rotor and all ignition components are in top spec. How dirty is your air filter?

The Jetronic system also has some settings which should be adjusted by someone who knows what he is doing. On top of the fuel distributor, using a 3mm Allen, turn counterclockwise to lean the mixture a bit.

If all these seem not to work and you want to enjoy the car, kindly do a swap from the CIS injection to the carb system.

You would need the following
A carb rated fuel pump
Complete intake manifold for M102 carb system
Stromberg 175 CD carb
Hoses (around 2 yards)

You can update as required.

Warmest regards

I get superb mileage.

In addition, I get enough torque to move a very heavy W124 along the busy streets in Lagos.

Now, why do you recommend using a golf carb instead of a Mercedes recommended carb?

Since you have decided to go the route of 'travesty', I would not grace you with further comments.

If you cannot explain how you intend to put a golf carb on a Mercedes Benz as being the more economical and practical route, please let this slide.

Cheers.
