#559 of 570 Re: E320 Bluetec ride [snaglepus] by gagrice Jun 27, 2008 (12:19 pm)
Replying to: snaglepus (Jun 27, 2008 6:59 am) I bought and sold the Passat TDI to just see what the market in CA would bear. I made $3000 and drove it for 13 months. I liked some things and did not like others. It sits too low for me. I like a little more clearance driving on rough roads. And I like the ease of getting in and out of a higher vehicle. If I get another TDI it will probably be an SUV of sorts. I think the Sportwagon will be low like the Passat Wagon.   I do want to give the GL320 CDI another shot. The one I drove was used and the transmission would down shift when you let off the gas (diesel). It may have been a programming issue. That and the dealer wanted about $12k over MSRP with 12k miles. He did sell it so some folks are easier than I am. With the X5 35D coming on the market and the Q7 diesel there will be some choices for me soon. Overall I like driving my Sequoia. I would prefer the torque of a diesel and the MPG advantage. This filling every 350 miles is a joke with the Sequoia.   PS I figured the guy for a troll. That usually gets rid of them.
#560 of 570 BLUE TEC by hlcastelo Jun 29, 2008 (1:53 pm)
I am thinking of renewing lease and moving from CDI to Blue Tec. I have overheard of problems with both BTEC and some Chrylser diesels more related to improper mixture of the low sulfur fuels at the local gas stations. I heard Chrysler is buying back vehicles. Has anyone with BTEC had a similar problem? Any recall or extensive warranty repairs? Appreciate your feedback.

Replying to: hlcastelo (Jun 29, 2008 1:53 pm) My take on the posts indicating MBBluetec troubles is that they are not mainstream or indicative of anything systemic. I have a 2008 E320 Bluetec with 6500 miles on it and love it - no troubles at all with the diesel or the emission system and great to drive. Mileage is about 30 average and 36 highway, and it sure is great to have 750+ mile range. The urea injection system due to be on the 2009 models is an add-on to meet the California regs, and I believe is equipment downstream of the engine, but it's been in use in Europe for several years. The MB mechanics I have talked to also love this engine. Haven't heard and can't comment on Chrysler. I'd buy another E320 Bluetec in a minute.

Replying to: mbdick (Jun 30, 2008 3:40 am) With a 750 mile range, I would think it equally important that the car come with a urea ejection system.

Replying to: johnza (Jun 23, 2008 6:52 pm) I just turned 2100 miles on my 08 bluetec. It is interesting to watch the mileage increase. Last highway trip, 800 plus miles, 33.1 mpg at 70-75! My overall average is skewed, 29.5 Note, this car has great performance. It will accelerate to 90 from 65 or 70 easily and quickly.   Love the car, would purchase again tomorrow.

Replying to: johnza (Jun 23, 2008 6:52 pm) I have a 2008 with about 1200 miles. At 55 mph it got 42 mpg, at 65 mph it got 36 and at 90 mph it got 32 mpg! Its a great car with far more power than I ever though possible out of a diesel and I have had lots of diesels. So far I would buy another without a second thought.
#565 of 570 Recommendation on TIRES for my 1998 E300 TD??? by shibumi Oct 21, 2008 (9:25 am)
Would like michelins and looked at PILOT MXM4 and MXV4 and even considering ALPIN PA3 snow tires (Chicago area).   Mixed reviews on these tires although the reviews cover a variety of car makes.   Whats the best bet fro the MB E300 TD?? Replies to this message: elias (Oct 22, 2008 11:31 am)

#567 of 570 05 E320 CDI by bdhplayer Aug 29, 2009 (7:39 pm)
Just hit 102,000 miles and running fine. Most of the miles that I put on are highway miles.   Curious, how much does it cost on the Bluetec diesels to refill the urea.   Also, how do you reset the maintenance counter. After tiring of $400 to 600 oil changes with the service A B and whatever, I have the dealer do the oil changes and have other work done elsewhere.

Please, somebody must know how to reset the maintenance counter. [see #567]. Please let us in on the secret! Replies to this message: dhkhan (Sep 06, 2009 8:16 am) bdhplayer (Sep 06, 2009 6:25 pm)
