Keep the valvetrain quiet and self-adjusting with the INA US Engine Valve Lifter VT00031, also listed as a tappet and as INA's VTC hydraulic pivot element. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1988 and 1991-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E (L4-2.3L), the 1987-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E (L6-2.6L), and the 1987-1989 Mercedes-Benz 260E (L6-2.6L).
Riding between the camshaft and the valve train, this hydraulic lifter transfers cam-lobe motion to the valve and uses engine oil pressure to take up clearance automatically, so valve lash stays set without manual adjustment.
Self-adjusting operation: the hydraulic design maintains zero valve lash so the valvetrain runs without periodic manual shimming.
Built for demanding engines: a high-quality valvetrain component made to handle the hotter temperatures and higher pressures of increasingly smaller engines, helping support engine service life.
Country of origin: Romania.
Signs a lifter may need replacing include a ticking or tapping from the top of the engine that is often loudest at cold start-up; if a worn lifter is the cause, this replaces it. This listing is for one lifter — L4-2.3L applications use four per engine and L6-2.6L applications use six, so order the correct quantity for your engine. Manufacturer part number VT00031.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
It's a hydraulic engine valve lifter (also called a tappet or VTC hydraulic pivot element) that transfers camshaft motion to the valve and uses engine oil pressure to maintain valve lash automatically.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1988 and 1991-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E (L4-2.3L), the 1987-1993 190E (L6-2.6L), and the 1987-1989 260E (L6-2.6L). See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
How many lifters do I need?
This listing is for one lifter. L4-2.3L applications use four per engine and L6-2.6L applications use six, so order the quantity your specific engine requires.
How do I know a lifter is failing?
Ticking or tapping from the top of the engine, often loudest at cold start, can be a sign of a worn lifter. Diagnose the cause first; if a lifter is at fault, replacing it addresses the noise.
Does this lifter need manual valve-lash adjustment?
No. Its hydraulic design takes up clearance automatically using engine oil pressure, so no periodic manual lash adjustment is required. Country of origin is Romania.
