SOURCE: please describe how to remove dashboard on a mercedes 190

Sorry, but removing the entire dashboard on a Merc 190 is far too detailed and involved to go into on this site, especially as it's very time consuming to scan and upload to a website all of the photos and diagrams which you'll need. In any case, it's all copyrighted material and so would be illegal to do so.

I respectfully suggest that you get a Haynes manual; the first repair alone will more than pay for the book.

SOURCE: I have broken the timing chain guide rail while

not familiar with a benz but it should be much the same as most other cars.
usually the crankshaft pulley needs to be removed from the crank as the timing cover is behind it
once the pulley is removed you should only have to remove the bolts that hold the cover to the block and gently pry it loose and remove it
hope this has helped you

Trying to install timing chain. i was told by a repare shop the motor had to be pull out to install is this true or not thanks

no thats not true
there is a way to change the chain with out all the work.
there is a tool and you have to connect the new chain to the old and turn the engine over until the new chain is wrapped up and back through.
then you just connect the chain back together at the end.
its that simple with the chain install tool.
it keeps all the links a wheel teeth in the same order without disturbing the timing.
if the timing has been disturbed then the whool front of the engine and the car needs to come off.
the radiator support braket comes off in the center opening the whool front end to service the engine block.
you will not need to remove the engine to service the timing chain tensioner and or chain if it has jumped timing or the incorrect service has been performed disturbing the timing.
the ac condesor and the rad fans and the rad all need to bee removed to gain access to the front engine block.allways be very careful when doing service on these cars and never force nothing.all so before you try to turn the belt adjuster screw you must allways release the tensioner bolt in the center or you will i promise distroy the belt tensioner.

hope this helps

Timing chain

If it has not broken or jumped timing you simply remove the valve cover and timing chain tennsioner. Then cut a link out of the old chain on top of the cam gear, then you attach the new chain with the supplied master link and slowly rotate the engine until the old chain has run out and the new chain is in it's place. It's best to have a helper to rotate so you can hold the chain against the cam gear. Once this is done recheck the can timing and do not let the chain slip or you will have to pull the injection pump and retime it. Even if you do it's easier than removing the front cover! Good luck!
