Jiminy crickets, learn something new every day!
Is there an online source for the 201 manual? I want to fix this, the PO
bubba'd in a manual shutoff valve in the heater hose.
I'm in New England. The interior is tan, but a lighter tan than my 240D. I
think I'm probably up to swapping the upholstry (which is not perfect but good
enough) if I had a seatbottom that wasn't all squashed out and broken. theres
obviously a broken spring in the drivers seat although its not currently
sticking through the seat there is a hole.

A 201 DOESN'T have a monovalve (124/126s have them). It has a vacuum
operated heater valve that can't be repaired and requires replacement
about every 12-15 years but that only costs about $20.
In where part of the country are you located and what color are the
seats in your 190D??

Tom S.,
A big part of your issue was Monroe verses Bilstien.
I put Monroe shocks on one of my Mercedes once and will never do it again.
They were dead in 12,000 miles. I don't know for sure but I believe that the
Mercedes just wore out the hydraulic fluid inside the shocks. They still had
their gas charge and the car still passed the bounce test when I pulled them
off.
Just go ahead and purchase your Bilstien shocks from Rusty. Both Rusty and
you Mercedes will appreciate you for the new shocks.
Thanks,
Tom Hargrave

Not always the case. I did this test on my 1977 300D. Passed with flying
colors, when I did the push test. But still drove like trash. Had old
monroe shocks on it. Changed to Bilestiens. Best thing I ever did.
