What type of 190E?
a regular four cylinder? then i would guess someone has swapped for another differential earlier on.
i had never heard of a 2.85 differential, but 2.87, are you shure thats the number thats stamped at the rear of it?
If so, according to this post on benzworld http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w201-190-class/1616271-e300-have-same-rear-end-2-a.html
the w201 2.6 allegedly had a 2.85 differential the last year, but the discussion seems to have ended without much more info.
My 1993 190e 2.3 has a 2.85 diff- that’s the correct ratio and was used apparently in 1992 and 1993 on the four cylinder automatics. That chart is wrong.
It would give you slightly lower RPM at the same time
3.46/3.64 = rougly 0.95
Simplified, you would loose about 5% in RPM, for example, if you are currently doing 3000RPM at a certain speed, the new differential would thus net you about 2850RPM at the same speed. .
Hi. I have 92 190E. My differential ratio 2.85 and its not even in this list. Would it be previous owner changed it with something else?

good info, il try and update.
i have never heard of that ratio on that engine before. you are certain its not swapped?
What is the diff ratio for a 1991 w201 190e 2.6?
i have a 1.8 from 93 manual 5 speed. i am alle to buy a 3.46 diff i now have a 3.64 diff can someone tell me what this wil do to the car
