I just stumbled upon your posting. I am on my thrid CDI since May. My first car would avg 34, the 2nd was 32, and now with this one, I have put 13.5K miles on in three months, on my trip back at 84, I was showing 35mpg. I don't know when the mileage got better for me to be exact, but I know it was upwards of 10K miles. Mike

Question for owners trans&turbo by txecdi
Feb 26, 2005 (4:43 pm)

I am on my third CDI since intro. My current car has 13.5K miles since November and has been rather problematic with little things, seats, teleaid, instrument cluster, recalls.
  Do any of you current owner ever hear your turbo making a rubbing noise at low speeds, like in parking lots when you take your foot off the gas?
  Second, do any of you find that when the car has sat overnight that it takes a while for the transmission to engage into drive from reverse?
  Any comments would be appreciated. Dallas, TX

I now have 5508 miles on my 2005 CDI and so far I have not had any problems like you mentioned, actually I have had no problems. However, my mpg is not as high as I expected, certainly not the 27/37. It is more like 23/33. Were all of your CDIs 2005 models? You mentioned "recalls"- what were the recalls? Houston,Texas

Have 70,000 miles plus and mileage consistent with both city and highway 34 MPG. No trouble with this car at all. Front brakes pads 60K. Each mark on fuel gauge exactly 150miles, can appreciate how perfect the German design is. 600 miles per tank.

Yes, all of them were CDI's. I had recall notices for the brakes and the tele aid. The brakes would fail causing more the need for more pedal pressure. The tele aid notice said that the system would stop working. Both have been repaired.
  Sometimes the mileage is higher than the 23/33 you mention and others it is low, it does vary. I run injector cleaner through about every 2K miles, seems to help.

The best car I ever had by sfeldman

I picked up my E class CDI 2005 Benz at Stuttgart factory in October 2004. I have 4000 miles on it and it is the best car I ever had. Nothing compares to it or even comes close.

hello sfeldman. if it is convenient for you, please post every few months to let us know how it is going with your E320 CDI? i'd love to try a Benz CDI but previously owned a 2000 E320 AWD 4matic wagon - it was the least reliable car i have ever owned - out of about 15 new cars - including 4 or 5 *chevy camaros*, a model not known for reliability! the features of the E320 were astounding however - and i do miss them. i didn't really like the handling but the ride sure was smoooooooth. best wishes!

Particle Filters by cgflorida

In Europe you can get the 320 CDI with particle filter. Does anyone know if and when such filters will be available here. Also, any news about the E 320 wagon with diesel ?
