320cdi

Evening I recently bought a 2001 W210 estate, 320CDI. Lovely car apart from one problem that's driving me nuts and is going to see it traded in if I can't fix it. Basically, there are times when it just won't accelerate past around 2000rpm. It will, given enough motorway, happily keep...

HI to every body I had a new alternater fitted about 1000 miles ago with no probs last week on starting up red warning batt/alt checked output with multimeter showing 14.5 amps switced ignition of started again no probs no red light no malefuction this has happend a couple of times would the...

I have this urge to purchase the above vehicle, loads of car for average money & you can get some stunners with low miles! hate the wood colour unless you can get birds eye dark. its nice to want but different story purchasing one :(

Has anybody got any experience with these? Life expectancy etc. Rule of thumb is normally 80-100000 miles before changing them, does this apply to injectors in this type of engine? Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks Martin

I followed one tonight (lovely) but with no badges. It can't be anything else to anyone who knows enough to care :dk:. Clean lines are all I can think of.

Hi I've read that poor fuel economy for diesel cars can be related to thermostat issues. My car very occasionally gets to 90 degs by most often sits between 60 and 70 degs (nearer 60 it seems but the scale is hard to read precisely). When it was really cold a couple of month ago the urban...

Hi I was wondering does anyone know size of wheel bolts required to replace my rusted ones?!

Hi all I have been a member on this site for the last 2 1/2 years with my 190E 2.0ltr, however for some reason my username and password was no longer recognized. I am now logged in under a new username, and with a different car, although I have still got the 190E, soon to go up for sale...

I have a choice of 2008 CLS500 (388bhp) and a 2009 CLS320 CDI Both are the same price, same mileage, and similar spec, I only do around 6k miles a year. What would cost more to run the petrol or the diesel? What would you go for and why?

is it any easy job to do these.just got the car.also whereabouts are the breather pipes,i would like to clean them out while on.

Hello Does anyone know where I could get a workshop manual for the W211 E Class, specifically covering the 320cdi V6 engine? I've had a scout but no results - usually there's at least a CD ROM kicking around but I can't find anything. Any guidance much appreciated

Can't find this in the manual. My clock is 1hr fast. Have the comand as I have a vague recollection someone said it may be adjusted there?? Thanks in advance

I've done 6,000 miles in my C320cdi, now at 68,000 miles. It has used no oil at all, the dipstick level has remained at the full mark. Previous diesels I've have used some oil, so I was expecting a little use, hence my wondering if this lack of oil use is to be expected?

My car appears to have developed an unusual noise. If you rev the engine when stationary (and up to temp) as the engine winds down a roar sound occurs which sounds a bit like a jet engine and seems to emanate from the air scoops (at least this is where the sound appears to be the loudest). I'm...

Selling my CLS as we just dont use it. I have done about 10k miles in the 3 years I have had it. approx 36k miles FSH brake discs and pads and all glow plugs (expensive common job) done in the last 5k miles Spec 3.0 v6 diesel Command sat nav Heated and ventilated leather seats...

As the title suggests is it normal. A motorway run gets about 34/35 mpg.

As Im seemingly getting closer to buying my first Merc after twenty years of BMW's I thought I had better get some rough insurance quotes. I did the quotes for the three CLK (209) cars I have been looking at. So to be fair I did them all on 06 plates & value of £9,000. All Avantgarde spec I...

I have noticed when I start the car from cold that the engine doesn't seem to fire up cleanly, it is a bit lumpy for a few seconds but is then ok and runs normally. Is this normal or could I have a problem. Thanks David

Guys, I've been having an intermittent problem with my car going into limp mode ever since i purchased it. I thought i'd solved the problem a few months back after replacing a split boost pipe. However half way into the journey to work it slipped back into limp mode with the normal stop...

Just been out in the car for a short run, everything ok initialy but after a couple of mile I put my foot down and not much happened. Experienced this once before a couple of weeks ago. Acceleration is very steady, no kick down etc. Pull over and stop the engine, restart and bingo, everything...
