Found a 87 190d turbo today, gotta head ? - 5/19/2007 11:49:22 AM    badgator   Posts: 10 Joined: 10/3/2006 Status: offline Went to look at a 300sd, almost nothing worked, runs a little rough ,Cheap, then I spot a 87 190d turbo, also for sale, pass. door is dented and won't open, door sills should be good though, front windows,AC and front fan, and wiper don't work, runs gooood, needed jump but start right up, some light black smoke for a minute. Took for drive tranny shifts nice and firm, turbo spools up and accelerates quickly (I've owned 2  gas turbos before) excellent oil press, temp  90c, let it run and drove for about a hour but not on freeway. Anyhow the head # is 603 016 14 01 is the the "bad" head? Car has 170k miles no details on previous owner yet- he's selling for a friend. Post #: 1

The 3.0L probably came from a C class as the 3.2 and 2.8L C280 engines are able to drop in place. _____________________________ 1984 Mercedes 190D-SOLD! 1999 Honda Civic DX- Current DD 1986 Mercedes 190E-16v-On the way (in reply to ForcedInduction) Post #: 7
