#368 of 570 Re: MB 320 CDI VS. VW Passat TDI [jimlockey] by cctdi May 12, 2006 (5:07 pm)
Replying to: jimlockey (May 11, 2006 1:45 pm) I have been driving both of 3.2 CDI and 2. TDI for about eight months; the CDI is a fast solid car, except onetime back to the dealer for the transmission leak, with 8.3k miles in the odometer this car is a charm, on the other hand, I got over 13k on the TDI and it went back to the dealer shop one time only for oil change, it is a workhorse. With almost double the TDI price for the CDI, it goes without saying the CDI is much more enjoyable to be on the road, the TDI gives me a decent ride too on the road. If the CDI compares with the A6 3.TDI, the scale may be equal, the result will be easier to judge. As far as the reliability is concerned, I got really a bad taste on VW the Allroad 4.2 and the V10 TDI, both of them had to go back the dealer many times to fix the hard to fixed problems. For the E320 CDI and Passat TDI, I am happy on both cars.   Replies to this message: elias (May 12, 2006 6:06 pm)

#371 of 570 2008CDI vs 2005-6 by greasykid1 May 21, 2006 (8:41 am)
Anybody who wants to know what the Blueteck 2008 should read the current issue of the STAR------the MB club magazine. After reading this article I am glad to have a 2005,   In order to pass the new emissions there will be an elaborate new exhaust cleaning system that will also be expensive when you buy the car but could also be expensive to maintain. Expect the price for a 2008 to be more expensive. Probably at least a few thousand more than current model.To quote"the differance will be comparable to the current differance for a Hybrid."   If you are REALLY serious about the BLUETECK you need to read this issue of the STAR. Believe that you can buy it by calling the MB club or at their website. Replies to this message: cctdi (May 22, 2006 1:46 pm)

Replying to: greasykid1 (May 21, 2006 8:41 am) I seconded your feelings; the well balance inline 3222 cc engine with iron block is built to last up to 500k miles, and I think the engine can be tweak to have more horse and torque when the ULDS is available, the 2987 cc V6 has the curb weight of 3836 Lb, that is not lighter than the inline 6, with about same EPA, I got no interest for the coming Bluetec models unless the 4996 V8 diesel engine is here.

#374 of 570 cali diesels by andmoon May 25, 2006 (5:24 am)
You can buy a diesel in ca if the car has 7500 miles on it. Some vw (MB too?) dealers specialize in bringing in just over 7.5K cars. If you are a non ca resident and move to ca. you can bring in any diesel. Replies to this message: benzodiesel (Sep 12, 2006 5:00 pm) elias (Sep 13, 2006 5:59 pm)

Replying to: greasykid1 (May 12, 2006 3:27 pm) Just curious: how much did you pay? Sounds like you have nearly every option! Good for you!
#376 of 570 Winter driving by rubyred2 May 28, 2006 (5:44 am)
Im considering a 320 cdi and was worried about winter driving (starting-etc) Wondering about the parrifin problem with waxing up. Anyone have experience with winter driving with this car?

Replying to: rubyred2 (May 28, 2006 5:44 am) I've had a e320 for 10 months now and live in Minnesota. I travel MN,IA, WI and have no problems starting or snow conditions. I put on winter tires and it goes thru almost anything. Replies to this message: cctdi (May 29, 2006 12:08 pm) rbarkley (Jun 10, 2006 9:47 am)
