Correct, he should actually call the 1-800-741-5252 or go to
www.buyMBparts.biz to get someone that really knows the Mercedes parts
business not a front man.

Chances are that a head gasket will fix all. However, those engines will
often run a long time with some seepage. You might just do as Gary
suggested and change the coolant and let her drive it. It might seep a
little but last for years without bothering the headgasket.
The M103 engine is a good one, but is prone to headgasket seepage/leaking
For parts call Rusty @ 800 741 5252. You will get good prices and great
service.

all of those motors seep some oil into the coolant. is it leaking
coolant
out the rear or oil?
imagine the coolant hasn't been changed in over a decade. a little
seepage
would become noticeable, no?
depending on the leak in the rear, i'd consider just changing out the
hoses
and flushing out the cooling system. replace it with the mercedes
forumaltion, which is xerex G05. drive it around and see what happens.

Good evening folks,
I am Jim Arnott, a long time VW owner (and list admin for a bunch of VW
lists) and possibly a new used Mercedes owner. I live in NE Oregon and
have
been driving/repairing VWs most of my life. I have an opportunity to
pick
up a '92 190e 2.6 for not a lot of money. I have a single mom daughter
that
needs wheels and saving you all the long story, if we were to toss a
shiny
Merc her way it would please her to no end (and get her off my back!)
The 190 that I'm looking at has oil in the coolant so it obviously need
a
head gasket. It's also leaking at the rear of the engine and I expect
that
that may well be a head gasket issue as well. Changing out the gasket
doesn't look like too big of project, but I do have a question about
one
part of the process.
The service manual 01.1101 I - 415/4 step 8 says "Use impact extractor
116
589 20 33 00 to withdraw slide rail pin (74)."
Not having impact extractor 116 589 20 33 00 to withdraw slide rail
pin,
is
there a work around? A substitute tool? Does the slide rail pin really
need
to be extracted to R&R the head gasket?
Second question: From what I've gathered through the Googles, head
gasket
failure seems to be typical on the 2.6 motor at around 100k miles. Is
this
a true statement and how likely is it that a simple replacement will
cure
its ills? There is no evidence that the motor has been overheated and
the
oil in the coolant is a relatively recent occurrence. The motor runs
strong,
has 3 bar oil pressure hot and the temp gauge sits right at 87 deg on a
20
mile drive at highway speeds. There is no cold pressurization of the
cooling
system so it appears that there is no compression leakage to the
cooling
system (A common VW problem.)
Thank you in advance for you wisdom.
