Common problems and easy repairs on a 1989 190E

The 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6 is very easy to maintain. The headlights are all accessible behind a single cover and disengage without the use of tools, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Replacing the tail lights won’t be a problem, either, as they’re all located in a single bulb assembly that also removes without having to use tools. The engine air filter cover can be quickly disengaged to allow for hassle-free filter replacements.

However, the 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6 has its downsides. The battery bracket is tightly positioned at the foot of the battery and will require a tight reach to remove it. Setting the clock with reliability might prove difficult as the control stalk is small and cumbersome to reach. The oil filter is obstructed by multiple engine components, which will make it a problem to access when an oil change is needed.
