    New (to me) E350

    Definitely going to investigate when I get back home as I am sure the driving I do should be 40 + mpg.

    I think that dealing with the rear suspension is the first bit. Hopefully nothing too bad. Then a good service and potentially speaking with Merc UK about rear subframes. Then perhaps a remap but we shall see!

    New (to me) E350

    It was serviced about 7,000 miles ago but I will get it serviced again before too long as it never hurts. Certainly seems that others with the same car are getting better economy so it should be possible, maybe review again after the service.

    That is really impressive economy for the performance on offer. There is, of course, a balance between driving slower for better economy and actually getting there! It is exactly 4 hrs door to door with no traffic so keen not to make it too much more.

    If yours is a saloon, and mine an estate and heavier, then perhaps 40 vs 35-37 mpg is about right.

    I probably should have added that the cruise control is set to 75 mph indicated throughout!

    Thermostat is new and car gets to 90 deg on the gauge swiftly and remains there.

    New (to me) E350

    Not the best photo but all I have for now! 2012 E350 Cdi. Panoramic roof, memory seats and really clean in and out. Had an inspection done; slightly corroding brake lines and knackered mountings for height level sensors the only things. Rear suspension has obviously dropped now that I am...

    S212 rear air suspension

    My new car is doing this! Had a few Mercedes with air suspension so know this is reasonably common. I think it may be level sensors speaking with my Indy. My question is - I am abroad for 3 weeks so not at home to rectify. Will it be ok to leave like this (it won’t be driven) or is there...

    E350 cdi estate - 2012

    My new car. 2012 E350 CDI from 2012 so the 265hp engine. Nice spec with panoramic roof and electric, memory seats as well as the usual other bits. 109,000 miles with good history and recent gearbox / engine service. I have just had all alloys refurbished and new Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres...

    E350 cdi - 2011 or 2012

    Thanks for the info. Definitely the 265hp as I had the 231hp in my C320 a long while back. I had a look at the OM642 and it may be that the figures are being confused with the US version which appears to have a lower torque output than the UK. Trying to find a good one, with the right spec at...

    E350 cdi - 2011 or 2012

    I thought that but the older has around 398 lb ft and the newer around 457 lb ft. Additionally the newer engine is more economical. All this based on info from online sources do not my understanding!

    E350 cdi - 2011 or 2012

    Good morning, I would like to get an E350 cdi estate and there are a few examples available. Both are the 265hp but the 2011 has less torque. Just get the one in best condition or hold out for the 2012? Worth investing more for the 2013 facelift? Thank you.
