#287 of 570 Re: Having problems with 05 E320CDI [farbs1] by blissful Dec 02, 2005 (9:51 pm)
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!

Replying to: cctdi (Dec 20, 2005 6:46 pm) Thanks so much for the suggestion/info. I have been studying the manual!! Car arrived on 28th- Have already been scoping out the various diesel locations, but it will be a while before I get through the first tank of fuel! It is indeed a smooth ride- and much much quieter than the 06 Jetta tdi we have. (Although I admit I would have been sad if the Jetta tdi held a candle to the MB!) Cheers, and Happy New Year!

Replying to: elias (Mar 29, 2005 2:13 pm) My 320 CDI is over 1 year now and it is still the best car I ever had. The refinement in this vehicle is excellent and all systems are etremely well synchronized with each other. This car is a benchmark for all cars in this price range, especially when it comes to mechanical and systems engineering.

Replying to: sfeldman (Jan 02, 2006 5:53 am) I am glad you got the same feeling as I do toward the E320 CDI, a really good car indeed. I am just a diesel nut, I just don’t know what I would react if the E400 or E420 CDI do come to this shore in the near future. According to the EPA, by June 1st most of the US highways’ gas stations will have the ULSD available and by Oct. 15th all nationwide! With the HP at 300 and over 520 ft of torque out there, dear E320 owners, how would you not scratch your heads? And take a look the excerpt I got from the Diesel Tec. Forum: Diesels for Sale in the U.S. The following cars, pickups and SUVs are currently sold throughout the United States with diesel-powered engines. • Audi Q7 Diesel SUV (Coming in 2007) • Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and 3500 trucks • Chevrolet Express • Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks • Dodge Ram Hybrid (Coming in 2006) • Dodge Sprinter passenger vans • Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks • GMC Sierra 2500 HD • GMC Sierra 3500 • GMC Savana G2500 • GMC Savana G3500 • H1 Alpha • Hummer H1 • Jeep Liberty CRD • Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI • Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel sedan (Coming Soon) • Mercedes-Benz ML350 (Coming in 2006) • Mercedes-Benz ML500 (Coming in 2006) • Volkswagen Beetle, Golf and Jetta • Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI 3,222-CC turbocharged 24-valve inline-6 27/37 mph 201 4,200 RPM 369 lb-ft 1800 – 2600 RPM Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel sedan (Coming Soon) V-6 diesel engine N/A 224 376 lb-ft 1600-2800 RPM Mercedes-Benz ML350 (Coming in 2006) 3.7-liter V-6 N/A 245 Mercedes-Benz ML500 (Coming in 2006) V-8 N/A 292 Volkswagen Beetle 1.9 Liter I-4 Turbo-charged Diesel - Automatic 36/42 mph 100 177 lb.-ft 1.9 Liter I-4 Turbo-charged Diesel - Manual 38/46 mph 100 177 lb.-ft Volkswagen Golf 1.9 Liter I-4 Turbo-charged Diesel - Automatic 33/44 mph 100 177 lb.-ft 1.9 Liter I-4 Turbo-charged Diesel - Manual 38/46 100 177 lb.-ft Replies to this message: merc1 (Jan 02, 2006 10:33 pm) cctdi (Jan 03, 2006 6:29 pm) merc1 (Jan 03, 2006 9:18 pm) blissful (Jan 10, 2006 10:57 am) loyalowner (Jan 11, 2006 12:58 pm) cctdi (Jan 11, 2006 6:25 pm) and 2 more... merc1 (Jan 11, 2006 9:46 pm) and 3 more... blissful (Jan 12, 2006 9:40 pm)

Replying to: cctdi (Jan 02, 2006 3:23 pm) I think we're going to get a R320 CDI also. Sort of confused on some of those listings. The engines you give for the ML350 is the previous generation 3-valve V6 and the ML500 has been upped to 302hp. Soon though the ML500 will change to the ML550 with the new 5.5L DOHC 32V V8. All of these are "petrol" engins though. M Replies to this message: cctdi (Jan 03, 2006 6:29 pm) merc1 (Jan 03, 2006 9:18 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Jan 02, 2006 10:33 pm) The 3.7L V6 and unknown displacement V8 are the diesel engines. If there is a V6 diesel for C-Class, two for ML-Class, I don't think E-Class will miss the boat with option of the V8. Replies to this message: merc1 (Jan 03, 2006 9:18 pm)
#296 of 570 Re: best car sfeldman ever had ! [cctdi] by merc1 Jan 03, 2006 (9:18 pm)
Replying to: cctdi (Jan 03, 2006 6:29 pm) The only two V6 diesels Mercedes has are the new 3.0L V6 and outgoing 3.2L I6. The 3.7L V6 in the old ML350 was a variation of the old 3.2L 3-Valve gasoline V6. The new diesel V8 is a 4.0L. V8 CDI Engine New V6 CDI Engine It would be nice, but I doubt we'll see the V8 CDI here in anything other than maybe a 2008 model S-Class. M
