Not just in MB factories but in general cars are PKW's whereas trucks are

I have one on the bottom of my 230E, which came off my old 200, which came
from South Africa. Probably most ZA Mercs came with one.
No you can't have it. The mounting holes should be on every 123 and they are
not hard to fit but finding one is going to be hard. Best bet is to find one

I run my 230E on 95 octane (over here 91 is standard an
Not only power but mileage as well.
87 is cat wee not fit for Benz consumption.
It has to be remembered that Merc engines are build well and need good food
to do well. If you want to cheap out buy a cheap brand car.
By the way, the later engines are self adjusting as far as timing goes so
