Mercedes 190: Alle Modelle (1982-1993) - Modellgeschichte, Kaufberatung, Pannenhilfe (Passion Oldtimer)

Der Mercedes-Benz 190 der Baureihe W 201 war eines der erfolgreichsten deutschen Automodelle der vergangenen Jahrzehnte. Mit knapp 1, 9 Millionen von 1982 bis 1993 produzierten Exemplaren brach er zahlreiche Produktionsrekorde. Es gab ihn mit Vier- und Sechszylinder-Benzinmotoren und mit Vier- und Fünfzylinder-Diesel-Triebwerken.

Der 190 war mit innovativen Details wie Raumlenker-Hinterachse und Dämmung der Dieselmotoren seiner Zeit weit voraus. Die Technik war ansonsten solide und robust, die von Bruno Sacco gezeichnete Karosserie war zeitlos elegant und gefällt auch heute noch. Weil das Auto kaum kaputt zu kriegen ist und locker Laufleistungen von 500.000 km erreichen kann, zirkulieren noch heute Zigtausende 190er in aller Welt.
In Deutschland haben die ältesten Fahrzeuge inzwischen Sammlerstatus, vor allem gepflegte Ersthand-Autos und rare Sportmodelle werden bereits teuer gehandelt.

Die vorliegende Publikation umfaßt zwei Bände:

Erstens ein reich illustriertes Hardcover mit 216 Seiten. Dieser Band versammelt alles Wissenwerte rund um den Mercedes 190:
- Modellgeschichte: Design, Grundmodelle, Entwicklung
- Alle Modelle 1982-1993
- Kaufberatung aller Modelle Benziner und Diesel, Youngtimerpreise
- Langstreckentest Normandie-Athen-Normandie über 7.000 km
- Technische Daten aller Serienmodelle.

Zweitens eine farbige Broschüre, die mit Fotos und Zeichnungen auf 104 Seiten 1000 Tipps zu Wartung und Pflege gibt, umfangreiches Basiswissen vermittelt und bei Pannen weiterhelfen kann. Sie wurde separat gedruckt, damit sie am und im Auto immer zur Hand sein kann. Alle, die selbst an ihrem Mercedes 190 schrauben wollen, finden hier Anleitungen zu: Karosserie und Innenraum, Karosserieelektrik, Motor, Motorelektrik, Schmierung und Kühlung, Treibstoff und Abgas, Kraftübertragung, Scheibenbremsen, Räder und Reifen.
