Hi, I've been running my 260E for 6 months and it's returned 27/28mpg every tank. The last two fill ups it's dropped to 23ish and the exhaust is smelling really rich. Any ideas on what to check? Only other problem that seems to have developed at the same time is that I'm losing cooland...

I've had my 260E for a month now, covered 1000 miles, and filled up 4 times (averaging 27mpg). Each time I take the cap off, there's a rush of air. I understand that fuel is cold when underground and expands a bit in the tank as it warms up, but this seems a bit more than I'd expect. Any...

So, I get my first Mercedes tomorrow, but thought I'd say hello tonight anyway. I'm a long time VW Transporter driver and have been around the T4 Forum a bit, but the time has come, the van has sold and tomorrow I get the keys to a 1990 W124 260E. I'll introduce you to the car later in...
