difference

This might be abit of novice question but im confused as different models come with sort of suspensions with different settings and different issues but all the terms used for them seem to be the same. The one thing i have learned is that the ABC system is quite prone to failure and very...

It might be more difficult than you think: BMW or Mercedes at CARorCAR.com - BMW or Mercedes-Benz Yes, that is my website. But there are no ads on it and I don't make a penny from it. Just thought you Benz owners/lovers might enjoy the site. It's a fun time killer... You can check out the...

Does my AMG badge indicate anything different as I've never seen another with red on it. Or is it just a previous owner individualising it?

Just got my S124 back from Holmeward Service Bay (my recommended local Merc Indy) and after having the rear links changed last week I was having the nitrogen spheres changed today. The car now drives with the ride of a limo rather than the harsh ride of a Lambo on solid tyres. Not a cheap...

Hi everybody, I always got my 2001 SLK230 serviced once a year (due to low mileage). Since starting a new job recently my mileage has gone up to 500miles per week or 24K/year. I've waited until the ASSYST indicator came up which it just has. Are the service intervals every year or...

Are the 300CE Coupes really some 240kg's heavier than the 300E sedan's? That's a helava weight difference when factoring in power-to-weight ratio with a project build Very interesting.......... Many websites have differing weights. For example. One site will state the 300E kerb weight is...

Especially pertaining to an E class. Around an 03/04 especially. I know that the wood effect Is different and I am led to believe that the suspension is sportier on the AG I am sure this has been asked lots of times before but if you could bear with me being a relative newbie here :thumb:

Hi. I have a 2009 W204 C220cdi Blue Efficiency Sport Estate which has the OM651 engine. I understand that this engine is also used in the rest of the range in the C200 and the C250 Blue Efficiency's. I was wondering if there was any differences other than engine software between the C220 and the...

I have just picked up a Tom Tom XL classic from halfords - ordered on line and dashed in to pick it up - got it home and it does not say v2 anywhere on the box. I think the difference between the original and the version 2 is post code entry - does anyone know if this is correct? Dont want to...

Just thought I'd post something of interest on here about how much difference atmospheric conditions can affect mpg on these cars. Early morning runs give me 43-45mpg whereas late afternoon runs are giving me 38-40mpg on the same route. Quite a difference really. :eek:

Is the handling/driving experience pronounced between Avantgarde and Elegance W211 E320 cdi facelift models ? I have driven several Avantgarde examples & find them quite suitable for me but have no experience of the Elegance variety. What have you found please? Splitpin

Morning all, anybody any idea if amg bumpers and skirts on a w208 were the same on pre facelift & facelift? Also is any difference between the front bumper of cars with Xenons, headlight wash and park control apart from cutouts. Apreciate any answers you might have. Cheers Lockking

Well guys, not had my car for a week yet, lots to learn about them, i bought a secondhand headlight, as mine had a crack, but it was not the facelift one, so take two with ebay :) research and more research :) :doh:

Hi I'm about to flush my C32 coolant again and wanted to know if there is any 'performance' difference between coolants ie: will one stay cooler than another? and can it affect the overall performance/ acceleration/ pick-up of the vehicle? Thanks James

What is the difference between a C180K and a C200K. . . thay are both 1.8's :confused: sTeVe

Prior to purchasing a second hand car, I often like to get hold of the manufacturers brochure on the make/model I'm considering and look through all the optional extra's available. That way I know exactly what options I'd like when shortlisting vehicles to view. Purchased my first ever...

Cars that came factory fitted with BOSE HIFI. Is there any sound difference between estates and saloons? An estate is more spacious and open than a saloon! Will this give an advantage in sound quality over saloon cars? 4 door cars fittted with rear sunrollo will this option degrade the...

Just had a BIG moan at BT and they have now lifted my download speed from about 300k/sec to nearly 5m/sec. Amazing what some strong threats do. The bottom line is that my son (who is a local radio DJ) buys and downloads many of his tunes. Last week he downloaded 26 tunes from one site. Before...

I have just purchased an E55 and am finding my way around the car. I wanted to know what the 'real' difference is between Comfort and Standard mode on the gearbox? The handbook is vague on this.

Aside from the model designation on the boot, does anyone know if there any way of physically distinguishing the E220cdi from the E250cdi, such as something different under the bonnet? Would any part of the engine or chassis number indicate which was which? Thank you for any help.
