"How Much Cost To Tune-Up The 1992 Mercedes-Benz 190E"

White 1992 Mercedes Benz 190E

How much would it cost for a tune up of a 1992 Mercedes Benz 190E? Are there any special tools needed like a torque wrench and stuff like that. Because I want to do it myself to save some money.

Answer: You do realize that there really is no such thing as a “tune-up” on modern vehicles like on your 1992 Mercedes-Benz 190E? The term refers to cars up to the 60′s and 70′s which had points and condensers in the distributor, needed to set the timing, needed to perhaps adjust the idle or adjust the needle valve on the carburetor. Although the term tune-up still lingers in the automotive world, today it basically just means to replace the spark plugs and maybe check the condition of the air filter and PCV valve (Mercedes does not use PCV valves by the way). All the other things it used to involve are now computer controlled and do not require any adjusting.
