Used diesel pricing by nimhrod

A couple of questions-
 
1. How happy are you with the hands-free phone? Can you use some of the current gizmo-loaded phones available?
 
2. How much of the roof is transparent with the Pano, and do you still have a sunroof up front?
 
3. Do you really use the power trunk closer often?
 
4. Do the tire pressure monitors tell you the pressure in each tire, or do they just let you know when they are below a certain point?
 
Thanks!

2.About 75%or so. #2 Yes
 
3.Yes.
 
4.Displays pressure in each tire. Very accurate.

Just turned 40000 miles on my e320 cdi. While in for a oil change mechanic noticed a fuel leak in the fuel line.
I was told the line must be replaced. Anyone had this problem.

New diesel causes hose leaks? by nimhrod

I had the same thing happen on mine recently. I smelled it long before I finally took it in. They said that the new diesel is causing some of the hoses/lines to dissolve. Nice, huh? I asked why they don't replace them all and they said the factory only authorizes replacement if they are actively leaking. Makes sense to me. That way they can really dip into the owners pockets after the factory warranty runs out.

That is a design defect. I would insist on free replacement. A leaking fuel line is very serious and mercedes should be going out of their way to keep the customer happy (so they won't sue).

I suggested the same thing. Their response was the it was not a design defect because, at the time of manufacture, the fuel currently in use was compatible with the MB fuel system. Now that the formulation has changed it's eating up the fuel lines & hoses. But this is not their problem until it fails. In other words, HOPE YOUR SYSTEM FAILS BEFORE THE WARRANTY ENDS!

... Blue Tec & EGR ??? by roland3

... just wondering if Blue Tec got rid of EGR, the urea saturated traps handle about 80 percent of NOx; was just in the local MB dealer, I think they thought I'am from Mars, but they were very polite. The one brochure they gave me mentioned the particulate and the urea but no mention of EGR.

... The DC site has quite a bit of info on the Blue Tec. It is designed to pass Euro V, without EGR and Mercedes points out several pitfalls of EGR.

concept, but I believe it was not so long ago that diesel vehicles had a drain spigot to drain the water attracted by the hydrophilic diesel fuel...is this true, and, if it is, do those drain spigots still exist on current diesel vehicles like the 320 CDI????????????????
