e270cdi

Hi I'm new here, but not new to Mercs.... I'm looking to get a new E class, but can't decide on whether to go for an E240 or E270cdi. I do quite a bit of town driving and have heard that the 270 is noisy in this type of situation. I would look to keep the car for maybe 5 years, so the...

Hit the wing mirror on the car and basically smashed the housing and indicator therein. Damn damn damn! Just underestimated width of the car slightly! Glass and motor OK, just the housing and indicator. Just called the dealer expecting to be told the whole unit needed changing...

Finally got my new car :bannana: last Friday. Excellent dealer handover (MB of Milton Keynes) and prep. Pics in my sig were taken at the dealership before I took it out in the rain and got it dirty :rolleyes: I am having great fun playing with all the toys. First mods already completed -...

Hello everybody! Sorry for my English, I'm Russian. I have E270cdi W211, 124tkm.Does somebody khow why cold engine starts OK but hot or warm starts not? My friend tell me "Be calm, guy! It's only fuel pump dies!" But I hope he's wrong... :mad:

I have a 2002 E270Cdi which has the worst sounding intrusive engien noise I have ever heard. Impossible to describe. Noise is most apparant when engine is put under load, i.e. when in a high gear and you open the throttle. This "rattle/chatter" gives the car a very rough and unpleasant tone...

I've now had my '03 E270CDI auto for a month and covered ~900 miles. However, the MPG is somewhat less than expected - I'm getting 18-23mpg urban and 38mpg is the best I've ever achieved cruising at 60mph, despite driving like a nun. This is significantly down on MB figures (29 urban, 52 extra...

Hiya, I'm after some advice on a new (SA spec - so its the 'last model' E-Class without the electric brakes etc if that makes sense) E270Cdi Saloon. It is quick enough (about as quick at 6000ft and 35C as a Rover 820 at sea level and 20C) but it is godawful to drive and the fuel economy is...

The choice has come down to either of these two. The 240 petrol is about 1000 cheaper since it has the autobox as standard. Its depreciation is higher but only by 2.5% over 3 years. I do about 8000 miles per year and don;t think diesel will be any more cheaper. The performance between the two...

E270CDI seriuos problems I took delivery of a new E270CDI at the beginning of July. The noise level from the engine under even modest acceleration is a deep, rough roar whcih can be heard over the air con and stereo. It has become worse over time and at idle can be felt through the steering...

i have a new E270 CDi - my first diesel car. Had it for 6 months. Unbelievable torque. Huge fun to drive. 40mpg regular. 600 miles range + BUT......is it me.....?......its not as smooth as I would have liked in the cabin - vibration on the steering wheel; vibration in the footwells - the...

Thank you to RichardM for recommending this site - I have been using the US forum site for 6 months without knowing about the UK one. Learnt alot about the new E class though -
