A new day, a new question: I have an E 320 CDI T-model, Bj 5/2000, 140,000 km, there is in the service booklet under “additional work every 3 years: coolant change”. My free workshop means: “Do you really want to do this to yourself?” Does this really make sense or is it covered? Can only affect the corrosion protection in the cooling water, frost protection and cooling effect do not age, doesn’t it? Does the change also help to prevent the calcification of the cooler? 5 years with approx. 100,000 km it should still last … Thanx

Hello, I’ve been driving an MB E220 T CDI BJ 99 or 2000 for 2 years. At my last KD (ATU) I’ve been pointed out to leaky injectors and I’m supposed to have this fixed with MB – what I wanted to do today too (at ATU the necessary tool is not available) During the preliminary interview the MB Master said that an exchange of injectors with a probability of 70% to 30% will not be necessary, so his experience would be worth. But after the review almost hit me. The statement of MB: all injectors are totally fixed (or destroyed – or as always you say, I forgot to be afraid) all 4 have to be replaced and that costs times so sluggish 2.500 €. I first picked up my vehicle again and would like to get some opinions about it. The car is also totally rusty – so that I don’t think a repair is worth it anymore – even though it’s only 180.000km and still an inheritance from my father is! My question – can be asked – thank you for the same thing?

Hello! I am surprised that a new engine should eat oil at all. I mean not oil loss due to a leak or something, but the consumption of oil in the operation of the engine. Could you please indicate your experience possibly with age of the engine driving performance, so that I would have a comparison. Thank you MM

Hello together, with my old W210 CDI I had excellent experiences with the normal mobile 1 0W-40. Now with my “new” W211 E320CDI, Mopf, the first oil change is for me. Which oil would you rather recommend to me: the fully synthetic Aral SuperTronic 0W-40 or the mobile 1 ESP 0W-40, which is probably not fully synthetic oil? Or don’t give them anything important? Thank you for your help!

Hello Motor-Talkler, who knows this: Investigating object: A W124 (E 200 Diesel), 2 liters with 75 hp, built in 1995, manual 5-speed manual transmission and 160,000 km on the clock. Note: I had recently confirmed from a workshop that the backlog “is no longer quite in order”. (Symptoms: In idle noises, I step the clutch pedal disappears.) Question: In addition to the noise of the backlog, which disappears again when the clutch pedal enters, another noise constantly runs in idle. I believe it has also occurred at the same time as the problem of the backlog. The noise is a dull tone, which strikes in the cycle of crankshaft rotations. If the engine hood is opened, this noise does not seem to come directly from the engine, which runs very clean, as always. Can this sound come from the gearbox??? Does anyone know this problem? Is it a problem at all?

Hello friends, can I fill in my W210 E230 Built 06.97 the Formula RS 0W-40? It does not have 229.3 and 229.5 but the 229.31 and 229.51 releases. THANK YOU in advance

Hey all together I’m about to get a W222 s500… happen to have come across the YouTube video of ‘Motorenzimmer’ (https://m.youtube.com/watch?…) where it’s about the M 278 DE 46 AL engine which is also installed in the W222 pre-mopf… there he talks about the problems of the engine and also says that you should buy the engines only from the year 03/2015 because these are excluded from the problems. My question : are all the engines built during the period 2013-2015 b met? Even if you buy one with low mileage and good maintenance ? because there are some good listings which from a price point of view very agree me as well as equipment technical…

Already about 3 years ago the supposedly ingenious “Diesotto engine” was made public with dream data of MERCEDES and in the press, presented or announced. I am still waiting for it. . . Where is the now? Does anyone know more?

Hello people, also at the risk that some members mekern……… a question about the oil pressure indicator: I would like to know what yours will indicate when the engine is running warm, best after highway ride. The following cases: W124 / E 200 Diesel / 255 tkm / Bj 1995 / oil pressure indicator falls now to 1.5 if warm/hot – Has he not made earlier W201 / 1.8 petrol / 175 tkm / Bj 1992 / oil pressure indicator falls only little off, almost never under 2.5 no matter how hot – Funny or How behaves How could the ad be disturbed? Can it be that the ad doesn’t work properly? Thanks and greeting Peetrock

Does anyone of you know whether the M271 1.8l engine, which is currently being charged with a compressor, will be charged with a turbo in the future? Such rumors that Mercedes is “turning over” to Turbo, have been around for some time (this was reportedly colported at the Vienna Symposium). Nevertheless, Mercedes seems to want to hold onto the compressor at the M271 successor. However, the A 200 Turbo seems to have been used for reasons of space. whether someone knows whether in the future Mercedes Lamda1 direct injection or still shift loaders are used, but then the so-called 2nd generation. As it looks like, the latter seems to be the case despite the disadvantages (denox cat as well as low-sulphur gasoline required), which always seem to make the Lamda1 variant (see Renault, Alfa Romeo) or at least recently (Audi, VW) the first choice, especially in view of the large air or wall-guided The future engine range in the new C-Class from 2006/2007 (including new M271) looks like the following: – C190, M271, 1.9l, CGI incl. compressor with approx.130hp – C220, same engine, other engine control, approx.160hp – C250, M272, 2.5l direct injection, V6, 24V with approx. 190-200hp – C300, 3.0l direct injection, V6, 24V with approx. 230hp – C350, 3.5l direct injection, V&, 24V with 272hp – C450 M273, 4.6l, V8, 32V with approx. 330 hp – C 50 AMG V8 biturbo on the basis of the M273 with approx. 400 hp o. C63 AMG V8 suction cup (M156, 6.3l, V8, 32V) with approx. 480 hp. – C200 CDI, 2.0l, R4 with almost 130 hp – C220 CDI, gl. motor with changed motor control, approx. 160 hp – C280 CDI, 3.0l, V6 with approx. 185-190 hp – C320 CDI, gl. motor with other motor control, 224 hp I’m excited about your input. Thank you in advance.
