Hi,

My name is Bulat, I live in Russia.

I have just bought 190E 2.5-16v 1989. Will be happy to communicate with other 16v owners and find some useful information.

My car in bad shape(very common situation for Russia, very hard to find good car, I was searching for two year to find something worth to spend my time) now and I am gonna to fix it and make looking like new!!!

Thnak you

Here is my first question:
I have 190E 2.5-16v (WDB2010351F663427).

Does anybody know if I should have higher RPMs(rotations of engine per
minute) when I start a cold car(for example, during the winter time.)
???

When I had a previous car(w124 E220), I used to have higher RPMs(for
example 1500 RPM) when I just start the cold engine and after it warms
up, they became lower(700 RPM) and stand on this level while it is warm.

As I understand, the idea is that it helps engine to start and work when it is cold.



Now I have always something close to 1000 RPMs, always! When I start the
engine it is going to 1000 RPMs and there is nothing like increasing
RPMs.

Is it normal behavior? Or I have to fix something?



Thank you in advance...

What is the normal RPMs on worm engine, and what is normal RPMs after you start cold engine?
I can't tell now about the cold start since I have bought it in this summer and it is still very hot weather in my city
but it looks like it is starting Ok.

the main idea is that I need to know how should work a good engine, I have nothing to compare with, it is only one 16v in my city
could you tell me:
1) what RPMs you have on hot engine, on idle?
2) what RPMs when you start cold engine?

Thank you, will try to check what is going on

One more question:

Do people sell used spare parts on this forum? Some times it is very hard to find a need part in my city, especially for 16v...
may be you have such topics here?
