She's a gorgeous 190E Mike and she deserves to be a runner. Please don't give up getting her to start!

shoutout to mike for fixing the car as inefficiently as possible for content. this is the modern automotive reality genre, and im HERE for it.

Oh hell yeah a 190E. Those cars are capable to survive a Zombie Apocalypse!!! And will run on everything!

Mikey, you shouldn't be jacking up the car on the grass, the jack or the jack stands can sink, shift and the car land on you, gotta be careful

I think you can consider the Benz as a runner and a driver, next time you can already detail that little precious 😁😁 nice work!

Mike, not to take away anything that you have done here but considering the condition of the fuses and relays I would have started with the fuel pump relay and checked all the fuses before getting under the car.

Hey Mike, just wanted to say that a car in that condition in Denmark would cost around 1000 dollars (minimum), so you made a pretty good deal 😆

Still have my 190E 1.8, driving almost everyday, car 31 years old, 380t.km on the odometer and still runs perfect. Piece of art and brilliant german engineering

I enjoy what you do but shouldn’t the order of these go: Make sure the engine is not locked. Do you have spark. Then fuel, which is probably varnish if it’s been sitting this long. It’s all gunked up. Bypass the gas tank.

So glad you have a car to work on, love the channel. Borrow Randy's shop vac, leaf blower and pressure washer. You got a winner with this one!

Love the colour combination of this classic. It'll look amazing after you do your stuff on it, just like the BMW E30. These 190e' s often have an over voltage protection relay located behind a thin plastic panel under the windscreen, behind the battery (Euro) and it often has a fuse located on top of the relay, so I'd check that is ok. Also over time the internal contacts just give up so it might be worth investing in a new OVP relay from the dealer.

I Love watching your Videos,. My OCD is wanting to clean all that trash off the engine BEFORE trying to start it,. Vacuum fuses etc,. Don’t need any fires.

You working in field love the 🐄 making noise. Yes I bet that fuel line is packed full of rust and other crap. Hopefully you can get it running let not that anything else is wrong with it. Great video Mike.

Hopefully she’ll start next time. Great work and thanks for taking us along take care

So Happy to see you back working on the cars! I laughed out loud at your comments under the car.... I think we all know it is better to be wrenching on a $175 mercedes than being the Anchor on the news ;) Keep up the great work!! you WILL get it running!

Mike check the fuses and those relays too 🤔

Mike you can get it going.. Next time I would give that whole engine a cleaning first so you do not start a fire once it is running..

I had a 85 190D she was sweet black on black with BBS wheels on it

Thanks for working on a vehicle again.

Yes you will get it running and don't forget Starting Fluid she needs all the help she can get, Till next time Mikey

I just like the fact you work on your cars!

Starting fluid, never leave home without it. 😂😂😂 Love your videos.

Keep moving forward on this oldie , I would really like to see how she runs it is a nice old car . Thanks Mike 👍🏻

You need a battery powered leaf blower to blow those leaves and dirt out!

I drove that car in Berlin in 1992. I absolutely fell in love with it.

I'm surprised with how good the interior is, in the Middle East the sunlight destroys the plastic and interior fabric comes aways from the glue, so usually any car in the sun gets destroyed!!!!

I loved those type of Mercedes. My grandpa had one when I was little and I don't know if it was a 3 or 5 series. It had a diesel engine though and I think it was a 1984 or 1985 model. You can still find those in mint condition on eBay motors, but they are expensive. I wouldn't mind having one though just for childhood memories.

I can't belive how "clean" that car is. No rust at all!

Future's sooooo brightttt, I gotta wear shadessssss, I gotta wear shadessssss, great song!

Aaawh the baby Benz... First Mercedes and first auction car I ever purchased was a 1987 190E 1.9 ltr or something like that. Drove that car like ten years near 300k so fun, my little even sister learned to drive in that car. Worst thing is I had to replace the hood ornament 3 times.

Glad to see you and Randy in videos together. Great chemistry! Can't wait to see the Benz in future vids.

Hi I think you should clean in side off engine bay area. Leave blower will do the job.

No doubt MWM will get it running again....but it's a 30 years old folk, so need a bit of hard work to get it cranking...Nice vblog....regards from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾 💪 💙 😀

Starter Fluid 😂 Make sure it runs before doing anything else

great video Mike, you'll get it started. I love all of the sound effects and Randy is the best 💯

I purchased a Probe for $75 . Run & drive . Donated .

Gotta check if those sparkplugs have spark. Also those fuses are annoying and get corroded on the ends and don't contact those push tabs. I'd blast it with compressed air and clean the fuse contacts, doesn't cost anything, just elbow Grease 😊🤘🏽

Wash the engine. You will get this done , Mike

That.s what we germans call, “deutsche Wertarbeit“ ! Thank you Sir for your video, great stuff !!

Here's a better question. When will Janice run again? Been waiting so long to see her come back to life.....

Hey Mike Happy Monday

Get a compressor & blow everything out before you try ,& start it up!

Congratulations! You turned Randy's backyard into a Mercedes Dealership!

Please can you clean the fuse box. Engine Compartment.

Hey Mike good luck buddy good to see you again love your videos see you soon

get a rebuild kit for that Bosch fuel distributor... after sitting for so long these never work properly...

Mr Benz that a beautiful Car 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

Should try using a bottle full of gas to fill the fuel bowls on the carb. It should start then. Ask Randy to let you use the garage. It would be safer.

You could have used a leaf blower to clean the engine compartment

I like your old mercdes restoration videos. Keep them coming.

Seems like it wanted to start. Might want to leaf blower that engine bay wow!

Grandma had an 89 300D, so a bit bigger than this was. I like these, and would drive one as my first car. Thanks for the video, Mike.

This 190E reminds me of the Cosworth 16v 190E I had 20 years ago. What a great car! Typically, take the pump and accumulator down as a unit. Without a check valve, it will be slow to start, hard to start when hot, and it may even vapor lock. Definitely want to install a check valve! Also, need to check the control pressure at the warm up regulator. It is different from the injector pressure. It basically adjusts the resistance on the plunger to adjust the fuel ratio. The control pressure increases as the engine warms up so that you get a rich cold start. Turbocharged cars have a frequency valve that bleeds off the control pressure when the turbo is under boost so as to richen up the mixture. If the pressure is too high, the plunger metering the air will not move enough, to feed gas to the injectors. Try pushing the plunger down with a finger, while turning over the engine.

What a pal. Randy has a lift in his shop and here you are on the ground and where's he at? You help him alot with his cars. But he's not out there helping you.

You should take it to a detail shop. I would to see look on his face when you open the hood 🤣😅😂💯🤯

Great video

You have done so much for Randy but he does have scribe’s that he got for you

U can do it ..I love the vlogs and and ur Mercedes 190 don't crush I need ha ha

The interior is mint

Should not have mixed new and old gas.

I bought a $950 w124 300td. 1 year later and probably another $3k in mostly junkyard parts I almost have it back on the road. What a deal.

i used to love my 190e aka the time machine!!

Love watching your videos and I’m sure you are going to get the the 190E running 🚘👍👍😆

I have every faith in you Mike that you will get the car running and great video.

$175?!?! Crazy. I have a 190E from 1993 here in South Africa and I can't even get a plastic tow-hook cover for that price, let alone the whole car! I had to get some 3D-printed cr#p on Alibaba and it looks shite. Also the chrome grille looks unbent. You're sitting on a gem even if you don't get it running. Nevertheless, I hope you get her started. Love these cars!

Sooooo close hope it works soon!

So nice to see you on you're back playing with dirty nuts again Mike 😀you can tell the cars old like us as it doesn't like passing liquid through it's pip work, try starting it about 2 or 3 in the morning you might have better luck 🤣🤣. Fun fact in 1985 when the car was made I had just got engaged, now have three grown up kids and three grandchildren. Where has the time gone 😳😉 latters old chap. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧

I bought one of those recently to get the man hole cover wheels. $280 . Cheap wheels and the car was bit sun burnt . I sent it off to scrap as no one wanted it . But I still have my 190 D which is fantastic

Why didn't you use Randy left put it in the garage and usually lift

I almost died when that TLC skit popped up 🤣🤣 Awesome content as always. Love this car, wouldn't own a Mercedes past 2000.

I love the editing 😂

She's Worth saving

Excellent Video. I like the car...

The underhood shot looks like a flood car!😮

Shoutout from Singapore!

Look like a 190 , the small benz

you probably clogged the new pump, drain that varnish out of the tank and clean that thing out. whille you drop the tank i'd spray some fogging oil in the spark plug holes so you have a little extra protection in the cylinders in case your oil pick up is all gummed up too

Happy Monday Mike

You got this Mike 💪

great content!!!!

You need 2 vacuum the engine 🚒

I see you use the LegitStreetCar line of gloves.

She was running on carb cleaner so its pretty sure its a fuel line issue. But I would blow / vac all that crud out of the engine bay first if that inlet is staying open. Oh and by the way Mike .. errr ... whose is that big Mercedes next to the 190E then ... do tell.

Go to town in the enginebay with a vac or compressed air and a mask...

Mike your a pro, keep going 🙂, it will start ✌️

I have a 190E, 1986 with 43k original miles. New fuel pump, spark plugs and wires and she starts but a little rough at first then when it warns up it's perfect.... been working on it for 3 years 😭

The only logical name for this car is “Dirty Diana” 😂😂😂😂😂

love 💗 this car !!!!

Very nice and interesting video!! Keep going!! I love the interior it looks pretty!! I had a 230E with the same engine as your 190E, mine was sitting for 20 years in a shed. I want to tell you how I managed to start my car so maybe my story can help you with your car... I also started by changing the fuel pump, fuel filter and the screen filter , then I disconnected and cleaned the fuel delivery and return lines that go form the tank in to the fuel distributor with compressed air and lacquer thinner. After that I injected a mix of gasoline and a little of ATF oil in to the fuel distributor inlet port with a syringe and pressed the metering plate at the same time to release the mixture of gas and ATF fluids to the outlet port. This procedure is like flushing the fuel distributor, but you have to be Very Careful. I have done this procedure in my fuel distributor because the car was sitting for a long time and had a lot of fuel varnish, and I didn't wanted to take apart the distributor, It was my last resource. I Do Not recommend to do this... After doing all that cleaning I connected the fuel lines back, changed the spark plugs, spark plug wires, and finally poured gas in the tank and it fired right up. I hope this helps . I wish you all the best!! God Bless you!! Keep making amazing content!! Regards!! :) P. S. love your channel

Let's go!!

You are very brave to bring the 190 back to life!!!!!!!!! You are fast becoming a MB SME (expert) !!!! I would remove the spark plugs and pour lots of marvel mystery oil down on the cylinders and pistons prior to attempting another start/run. Question; will you be doing any continuing videos on the red V6 Mustang?

Hey i like this kind of videos!

Good try Mike. 👍👍

Try check cold start injector and vacuum leaks on rubber houses this system need a good vacuum if is not canot press big air flow disc an canot press piston inside fuel distibuter try to press 2mm big plate disc and then crank the engine, dont press gas pedal good luck.😉

It should start

Ah, chiggers! They add so much fun to any outdoor work.

I see the cougar in the background, that must be Randy's headquarters.

"Another part," is how it starts. haha

I did not no u could use starting fluid on a deisel!!! Thanks MWM I learned something new today

190 E the poor man benz
