Left foot braking by greasykid1

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.

I am not a left foot braker; it has been I who's been driving the car for the past few days and the hesitation does it when I'm driving as well. Today at a stop light, I literally lurched forward, very embarassing.

Hesitation when starting by greasykid1

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

Thanks ~ aside from the hesitation issue, I love everything else about the car. Hope it's fixable; it's more annoying than anything.

Questions RE: diesels in California by char30

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.

There is plenty of diesel. As of 6/1/06 it is supposed to all be ULSD. It should run great on BP/ARCO diesel. I used it in my Passat TDI and it was very good. In San Diego diesel is about equal to regular. Cheaper at some stations.

Thanks, in Oregon we do not have ULSD yet but it is coming. Can't wait to get there.

ULSD by autoboy16

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?

Back from the check-up and surprise, surprise all is normal. It seems there is a learning curve to the accelerator and the spooling up of the turbo charged engine. I'm a little embarassed but they were very nice about it.
Thanks everyone for your support.
