#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?

HELP! I am on my 2nd 2006 E350 because of transmission problems. Anyone else having the same problem? Replies to this message: cctdi (Mar 03, 2006 3:33 pm)

Replying to: jrogers1 (Mar 02, 2006 6:18 pm) For 06, the E350 uses the 7- speed automatic transmission, instead of the old proven 5- speed in E320 CDI, E55 and 4matic. To me, the new car technology from German seems carrying some bugs in my car buying experiences; the 02 ML55, 04 Allroad 4.2, Touareg V10 TDI etc., Those 1st year models gave me much unwanted headaches. The 06 CDI is a trouble free car with 7k miles in odometer, and so is the 1st year Highlander Hybrid 4i. Here is the E320 CDI forum, try the E-Class forum, you might get the opinions from those E350 users.
#325 of 570 Exhaust soot on paint 06 CDI by blissful Mar 04, 2006 (8:49 pm)
I am getting quite noticeable exhaust soot on my rear quarter panel/bumper area on both sides. Noticed it quite markedly after a 400 mile round trip between Portland and SEattle last weekend. Mileage on highway (avg between 65-75mph) was about 33. Car is white, so it is quite evident. Prior trips have not had this effect. Car has just 1400 miles on odometer.   Coincident with the increased sooting, I put in the MBZ trunk liner/mat. It is a very close fit. In previous cars there has been some sort of fuel exhaust via the trunk. Am wondering if the CDI does this, and if this change might possibly have any bearing on the increased black blowing out the tailpipe?   Also I have noticed the exhaust seems more evident puff of smoke, rather like the diesels of old, and not what I have noticed previously with this car.     Any input??   Thanks a lot! Otherwise, LOVE THIS CAR!

I meant to say that in previous cars I have owned, there has been a fuel tank vent of some sort via the trunk. Wondering if I have somehow closed one off in the CDI, thereby messing with the fuel delivery system and causing the car to run too rich?

Replying to: blissful (Mar 04, 2006 8:49 pm) you'll definitely see soot on the rear of a white diesel car in USA unless perhaps you are running on the cleaner california fuel - or wait a few months which is when 95% of USA fuel is supposedly going to be ULSD. i think there's no way a trunk liner is affecting the way the car runs or how fast the rear gets sooty. on an x-country cruise in passat TDI, dark blue with black bumper panel, the soot-stain was a huge ellipse-like shape on the left half of the bumper. if that's visible on a blue/black car, it's sure going to be visible on a white one! be proud!

Replying to: nimhrod (Feb 22, 2006 7:08 am) I found it in Iowa. I wanted to find one used as I put on a lot of miles. I also found a new 2005 last Decenber going for $45,000. When the diesel prices went up I think the prices came down. Sorry for the delay in getting back as I've been out of town.
