Replying to: peakoiler (Jun 23, 2006 5:26 am) The hesitation happens starting out in D-1 also, but not every time. In researching, I've read a couple of negative things about a left foot braker. My husband (drove the car initially) is a left foot braker and I'm wondering if that messed something up initially with the "computer driver learning" process (if there is such a thing). Do you know anything about this left foot braker issue? We have an apt. on Monday morning to have it checked out. Thanks again for your post. |

I have been a left foot breaker for over 40 yrs,but times change. With "drive by wire" throttle you MUST release the brake before you attempt to accelerate. The computor thinks that if you are braking why do you want to go. Try it---your start up hesitation will be gone.

Don't have the answer but suspect either a computer or fuel problem. Let us know what your dealer does to solve.

I am relocating to Riverside, CA and would like to know if there would be a problem servicing a 2006 E320 CDI at local M-B dealerships and as this model is not sold in CA are there places to purchase fuel? What are fuel prices like in CA? Thanks for your help.

(Sorry if this is a repost) For those of us who are "Acronymicly"  challenged like me, ULSD stands for Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel. I found This link about ULSD. That link also has a list of certified ULSD laboratories. Basically, ULSD is diesel fuel that only has about 5% sulfer which is down from the 97% that we have. My only concern with my new interest in diesel is older cars (and newer ones alike) that are used to running on the current diesel. I'm wondering if the vehicle will still function the same with ULSD. Is it like going from 91octane gas to 87octane or vice versa?
