What sticks in my head from discussions at the time on this list, was that a person should avoid anything prior to the 2004/5 examples. Something about common rail and CDI, magic pixie dust and low sulfur fuel.
Why this sticks is that the family took a cross nation trip the summer of 2004 and I drove out in the E300D. While stopped in the Charleston area for a week or so I had to take the car in to the dealer and got to look at the current crop of diesels. There was a strong mental note made at that time that what I was seeing was not the good stuff, but that the fall would have those models with the “proper” diesel engines clay > On Jun 24, 2019, at 7:38 AM, Dan--- via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Can someone please put some sort of list or short explanation on what are the > good and bad diesels in the early 2000 models? > > I can never keep this straight and would like to have a reference in case I > ever decide to look at one of these cars. > > Thanks! > > -D > > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
