Well you say cheap but its not rearly. Story is i only got it for the body kit and leather,not long after i got my 1.8 190 ,and i new nothing about mercedes. When i found out it was a cosworth i thought i would try and fix it as it was a non runner. could not find what was wrong so i striped the engine and found this.(sorry if pic is not very big) ![]() idle sprocket with no teeth. As time goes on i got a new one fitted it and put engine back together would not start. So to cut a long story short i changed the starter motor cold start valve ignition coil leads plugs head skimmed valves seated timing chain small chain rail small guide sprocket head gasket steam seals I think there is more but can not remember at mo and it still would not start timing is set perfect and everything else set right. I had an mercedes expert have a look and he would put money on it being the air flow sensor and fuel distuibutor. so thats where i am at with the cosworth. On the plus side my 1.8 is working fine all but a small oil leak. (I have put some more pictures on for you to look at if you wish) |
