Re: [Biofuel] Re: US Diesel Options
Word to the wise; when you start burning B100 in your benz be aware that there is a screen sediment filter *inside* the tank that will gum up with the loosening crud from the dino. It looks like this: http://oem.overnightautoparts.com/parts/overnightautoparts/viewImage.jsp?image=img.overnightautoparts.com/live/E101087062MEY.JPG IMO it would be a good idea to strip the screening from the one you have and install an exterior in-line fliter at the tank's outlet. That way when it does gum up (and it will) you only have to spen a couple minutes on yor back to change it instead of having the car towed and the tank emptied out. This may occur a couple times. It cost me a bundle to learn this one. As for slowness in a Benz turbo of the 300 class, you have a thingy called the "Alda" that can be tweaked. How to tweak: http://users.vnet.net/w123d/w123d/adla.htm Benz's of that age bracket are particularly fond of biodiesel, mine sure is and I have a 1983 240D 4 speed manual (no Alda to tweak unfortunately) which *might* win a race with a little old lady in a wheel chair, but we enjoy it, class act.

Especially to fit my station wagon/SUV desires? Opinions on the reliability of the three brands in diesel? I don't have the money for a new, or I might consider the new Jeep Liberty TDI. =sigh= Just a minor point - the Liberty has a CRD powerplant, not a TDI. Likewise, the MB E320 is a CDI, not a TDI. Collectively, they're all diesels, but in North America, the TDI is specific to VW (and Audi if VWAG ever brings one over). The Tdi badge has also been used by Land Rover worldwide, but in the US, these are strictly one off custom conversions as they were never sold in North America market. Anyway, back to your original question, you can find used TDIs here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB43 Unfortunately, B5.5 TDI Passats (2004+) start at about $23k and the B4 TDI Passats (1996&1997 only) are rare as hen's teeth. The B5 Passat never sold with a TDI in North America and the TDI was introduced very very late in the B5.5 product cycle. A4 Chassis (NB, 4th generation Jettas and Golfs) TDIs were available from '99 on but probably appears too small if your wife is insisting on an SUV. Realistically, a 4 door Golf will haul *lots* of stuff, but seems small to the American eye. Your other choice is an old school MB but since some of them barely break 30 mpg and are glacially slow, I might just get a newer Ford Focus gasser that gets 35 mpg.
