Re: [MBZ] Short trips in a clean diesel
Lots of short trips means it’s probably going to have a clogged up DPF, and since it keeps trying to regenerate it’s injecting more fuel but never gets to complete. If the price is reasonable might be worth taking a chance on. Otherwise short trips are not good with these new diesels.

Re: [MBZ] Short trips in a clean diesel
Lots of short trips in a Bluetec Diesel would certainly cause oil dilution from fuel which leads to engine wear. Has the owner changed the oil? I’m sure she’s beggin’ to get on the highway and stretch her legs!

[MBZ] Short trips in a clean diesel
I am negotiating with a car owner (E250 Buetec sedan) who has driven 5200 miles worth of short trips (3 miles to work and back). The fuel economy overall is 23.6 mpg.
