#272 of 570 Re: Any word when diesel prices will drop ? [rbarkley] by cctdi Nov 05, 2005 (2:41 pm)
Replying to: rbarkley (Nov 03, 2005 6:26 pm) The diesel price here in South Jersey currently is $2.61 in average verse the premium $2.35 in my neighborhood. The price should come down after April. Here in USA (only USA) the diesel is taxed more, for the truckers to pass the tax to the consumers. The off-road diesel and heating oil are the same stuff as the regular diesel which is colorized with the pigments with all most the half the regular diesel price. You can get the off road diesel with the container, but not legal to power on road vehicles!

Having some problems with the forum format: the text is now running beyond the screen width on my computer and I have to use the bottom scroll bar back and forth to read the messages posted (cumbersome for me!) Also, at the top of the page, I'm noticing the advertising is showing up ON TOP of the member commentary. Did someone change something recently? Or (entirely possible) I don't have my settings right on the page? Can you help with this? thanks! Still... blissful Replies to this message: pat (Nov 07, 2005 4:53 am)

Replying to: blissful (Nov 06, 2005 6:03 pm) The problem was the picture that was posted several messages back. The width of the picture caused what you were seeing. You should be fine now - click on the Recent Msgs link to be sure.

Replying to: captainjoe (Oct 18, 2005 8:45 pm) I have a 2005 CDI just 1 year old, 21k miles on it. I've had similar issues. After about 5-6 months, the car would occasionally cough and stall, or cough then run, after a "nearly cold" start. Sunday morning after a 3-minute drive for coffee was typical--car was not fully warmed up. My dealer tech had just gone through training and immediately suggested the EGR valve was to blame. He never got any computer error codes for the EGR, but ordered the part based on symptoms.   A couple days before the scheduled EGR replacement, I had a spell like you describe. I was coasting off a highway off ramp, asked for power, got none, and suspected I'd run out of fuel. Acceleration was limited and engine noise was distinctly louder. I drove straight to the dealer, left it running, and had the technician drive a couple miles with me. The computer did show an EGR error code that day (dumb programmers don't timestamp the error codes, so it's not clear when it happened.) After I left it, they found that stopping it and restarting it restored power.   They told me this was the computer putting the car in "Limp Home Mode." Limp Home Mode is when the computer gets some error code that leads it to believe continued use of full power might damage the engine, so it restricts output to half throttle and transmission to lower gears. If you google Limp Home Mode, you'll find postings on other forums.   With the EGR valve replaced, car is back to its delightful self. If you've had no success, push the dealer or MB to guide to you a senior service tech with the most current training on this engine.

#278 of 570 The CDI in the foreseeable future by cctdi Nov 09, 2005 (6:06 pm)
I had a talk with the MB headquarter this morning, asking them the possiblity of the E-Class CDI in 4matic form for 07; the bad news is there won't be any, the bad news leads to other info- the 07 M-Class equipped with diesel is coming in 06! What is the replacement of the CDI? There is no answer for that. If the 4.2 V8 CDI would be installed in the M, that is still the good news! Hear us! You MBOA.

MBUSA would be dumb not to bring over that combination in both the sedan and a wagon too imo. I suspect there will be a R320 CDI sometime next year too.   M Replies to this message: blissful (Nov 10, 2005 10:36 pm) merc1 (Nov 10, 2005 11:08 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Nov 09, 2005 10:03 pm) They're going to have to do something to convert people to the V6 idea... the 4matic-CDI combo would sure be a good way to win some die-hard I-6'ers over! [IMHO] Replies to this message: merc1 (Nov 10, 2005 11:08 pm)
