#283 of 570 CD Player that plays MP3 by rbarkley Nov 16, 2005 (1:15 pm)
I was told that my in-dash CD player will play a CD made up with mp3's. I have called the MB 800 number and thay said it should, but I've tried three different CD's with MP3 files and the CD changer will not read them. Does anyone know what the problem is?   Mp3 Cd will hold about 10 hours of music without a loss of music quality.

Replying to: rbarkley (Nov 16, 2005 1:15 pm) Make sure you use CDR and not CDRW. Many MP3 units will not read re-writable disks. The better the quality CDR Blank the better the chance of good music quality. Replies to this message: rbarkley (Nov 16, 2005 8:47 pm)

Replying to: sekinney (Nov 07, 2005 3:47 pm) I have a 2005 cdi and have the same problem when making a right turn. When slowing at a freeway exit and when taking off from a dead stop, but always on a right turn. Have the same results with the "Limp Home Mode" restart and its fine. EGR or transmission?

Replying to: farbs1 (Nov 30, 2005 12:17 pm) Just a thought: EGR is likely under this scenario: right hand turn could be a red herring (how many times does one exit off the freeway to the left?). It may be more a function of operating at freeway speed and then sudden deceleration causing a shift in emission function and resultant hiccup to the system. I have no real basis for saying this except to suggest the right hand turn may be less significant unless you are also noticing it with city stop 'n' go driving.   Is it only balking after freeway speeds? If so, I'd go with the earlier suggestion of EGR. Less expensive and easier to try than transmission.
#288 of 570 Is 4matic a must for the snowy road? by cctdi Dec 09, 2005 (7:37 pm)
I was quite amazed as I was driving the CDI on the snow covered road today. This car gripped the surface in a very good manner. I drove first the Highlander Hybrid 4wd-I, then I thought I should see how the CDI rwd behaviors on the snow; the car has no problem for 45 minutes commute on a few inches snow day!
#289 of 570 Breakin protocol? by blissful Dec 19, 2005 (8:30 pm)
What is the engine break in protocol for the cdi? My new car will be here imminently and I am wondering how to drive it for the first X,000 miles? Any input? Any recommended websites or references for new diesel engine driving style? Thanks! Replies to this message: cctdi (Dec 20, 2005 6:46 pm) blissful (Jan 01, 2006 10:25 pm)

Replying to: blissful (Dec 19, 2005 8:30 pm) According to owner manual, for the first 1000 miles, try to use the C (comfort) mode on the gear with mild driving style (just like any car) and no tow. The CDI in E320 is an amazing powerful smooth engine; it drives and feels like the gas engines in 50k up luxury cars except the diesel takes easy way with its high torque in low end. The best thing to me is much less going to filling up the car, and the little draw back for some regions may be driving 10 – 15 more minutes to find the station with Diesel Island. I was really impressed by the TDI engines from VW, especially the Touareg V10, yet the MB CDI seems more refined; in the cold morning start, the TDI V10 and 2.L in Passat produce more green smoke than the CDI, in fact, you can hardly detect the smoke from the E, as they said, this is not your father’s old MB diesel!
