#314 of 570 Re: Mileage? [rbarkley] by tomotomo Feb 17, 2006 (4:19 am)
Replying to: rbarkley (Feb 16, 2006 6:33 pm) I currently have 12977 miles on my 2005 E320 CDI and have detailed fuel usage records. I have used a total of 467.87 gal with both city (Houston, Texas) & highway driving. In the city I usually get about 23 mpg and on the highway about 31 - 33 mpg. The highest highway driving at 70 mph using the cruise control was 34.3 onboard computer & 35.06 calculated (miles/gal). I have never obtained the EPA estimate of 27/37 mpg although I am an aggressive driver (quick starts & stops). Replies to this message: loyalowner (Feb 27, 2006 1:02 pm)
#315 of 570 The 3.L diesel Bluetec for the coming E320 by cctdi Feb 18, 2006 (3:35 pm)
Replying to: davidc1 (Aug 03, 2005 6:39 am) By now, according to different sources, it is clear enough that new Bluetec V6 with displacement of 2987 cc diesel engine is to replace the inline 3222 cc diesel, and this engine called 320 will be installed in E, ML and GL too. (Source from Edmunds, the GL will get the 3996 cc as GL4.2 CDI.) If there had been 300D in E-Class up to 98, why MB wouldn’t name the Bluetec E300 CDI? There won’t be any incentive for current E320 CDI owners who got the real thing like me to get the E320 with 3.L only engine! But, if the 3996 cc V8 comes here in E, especially in the form of wagon with 4matic, I wouldn’t mind any name MB calls it!

Replying to: rbarkley (Oct 11, 2005 2:18 pm) Where on earth did you buy that car for $40K?   Let me know, as I'd def. make a trip to the frozen tundra for a nicely outfitted CDI at that price!   David Replies to this message: rbarkley (Mar 06, 2006 2:05 pm)
#317 of 570 does oily stuff normally drip from the exhaust? by eman5 Feb 22, 2006 (1:25 pm)
There are a few oily drips on the garage floor under my 06 E320 CDI's exhaust pipes. Is this normal? Replies to this message: cctdi (Feb 22, 2006 2:55 pm)
#318 of 570 Re: does oily stuff normally drip from the exhaust? [eman5] by cctdi Feb 22, 2006 (2:55 pm)
Replying to: eman5 (Feb 22, 2006 1:25 pm) The black color drops on the floor from the exhaust pipes are the result of the soot accumulated on inner pipe wall that washed off by the water splashed up on the wet surface (or by going through the carwash). You can wash the spot off with a bloom and water. But, if it is oily like black grease, I wouldn’t know what the cause is. I drove 97 300D for almost 2 years, by comparing, the CDI produces much less soot, I use a long small brush (I bend the curve coffee pot cleaning brush to straight) to brush off the soot from the ends of tail pipes now and then, it works well too on my Touareg V10 and Passat TDI. The particles trap equipped on the coming new CDI, the problem may be eliminated.

Replying to: tomotomo (Feb 17, 2006 4:19 am) I have found that on the highway mine gets 32-33mpg, around town its about 27mpg. Overall, I'm getting about 29.5mpg. Don't be discouraged by not achieving the EPA 27/37 as very few drivers/vehicles achieve those numbers. I hear that the EPA will soon be revising its test (yet again) to get it more in line with real-world fuel economy. All ratings will decrease - especially those for hybrid vehicles which seem to be the most over-rated.   LoyalOwner
#320 of 570 Re: best car sfeldman ever had ! [merc1] by sullyak Mar 02, 2006 (8:26 am)
Replying to: merc1 (Jan 11, 2006 9:46 pm) I am very interested in purchasing a 2007 E320 CDI. Do you or anyone know if they will be offering an AWD sedan or wagon with this new engine. I need AWD and I cannot find confirmation of this anywhere.   Thanks, A hopefull future owner Replies to this message: merc1 (Mar 02, 2006 8:46 am)

Replying to: sullyak (Mar 02, 2006 8:26 am) Well the new V6 E320 CDI is offered with 4Matic in Europe. This was made possible with the switch from the I6 to the V6 engine layout.   I can't see why MBUSA wouldn't offer 4Matic on the 2007 E320 CDI. The only question is when it will arrive, best guess is very late in the year like Nov/Dec to make sure that low-sulphur diesel is in place all over the U.S. The new V6 engine needs this to fuction properly.   The E320 CDI being available with 4Matic is mentioned here.   M

Replying to: lauren10 (Oct 20, 2005 8:03 pm) I have a new E 350 that went back after 2,000 kilometers because of major tranmission problems and now the new one is doing the same thing. Have you had any luck at an explanation?
