My W201 190E 2.6 sometimes makes a strange buzzing/whirring noise while driving or idling.
It’s not constant and seems completely random.

The weird thing is: after shutting the car off and starting it again, the noise disappears completely.

Car is a 1989 Mercedes 190E 2.6 automatic with around 212k km.

Has anyone experienced something similar on an M103/W201?
Fuel pump? ABS? Hydraulic system? Vacuum related?

I attached a video with the sound. Any ideas are appreciated 😅

Just put new wheels on my 190E and made a little edit.

Tried to match the vibe with some 80s music 👀

I’m planning to lower it ~40mm and go for an AMG-style look next.

What do you think about the video and the car overall?

Anything I could improve (edit or car setup)?
