efficiency

I was the owner of a S350CDi Blue Efficiency, registered in 2010. I accidently filled the tank with petrol instead of diesel one day. Yes, I know this was a stupid thing to do but I know understand that it is quite a common occurrence among motorists. I did not realise what I had done and...

Hi, well since my 8yr old c class is getting some insurance work done I have had the pleasure of the new blue efficiency however its really annoying that there is no user guide in the car,taking me forever to suss out sat nav etc. However it seems the sensors are no longer bleeping and I want to...

Does any one have any performance figures for a 1997 c280 auto and also mpg figures please.:thumb:

Hi All. Get my new C280 on Monday and am wondering if there's any mods to engine that will give better performance and mpg. Don't know until i get it home if its a 12 plug or six plug set up. I will already have iridium i would of thought. I suppose a light right foot will be best for mpg...

XL1: Volkswagen unveils 313 miles per gallon car | Mail Online I've read reviews and comments in other major car publications and I have to say 1. I think it looks great 2. Looks fun to drive being small and light 3. Probably will be fairly reliable as VW tend not to release complete rubbish...

I hope someone can clear up an issue I am looking to buy a c220 amg sport plus diesel auto and it is really importnat to me to get an idea of the actual fuel efficiency of the vehicle as could be potentially doing between 20-30k miles a year obviously mercedes are claiming amazing numbers of...

I'm in Carlisle the now. It struck a chord. I've got the last of the non blue efficiency CDi cars and the 5g. So an old tech drivetrain that I went for purely as I thought it would be a reliable option. Thise of you with blue efficiency cars. I drive a little in city traffic then a steady...

Just decided I would like to remove the ‘Blue Efficiency’ badges from the sides of my 2011 w204 C Class Sport. Must be going through an OCD phase! I think the car will look less cluttered. Anyone know if the badges are just glued on and are there any holes underneath that would require filling...

I was just reading about the E300 Hybrid and it mentions about the optional wheels making a difference to mpg. i was aware of this, but seeing it pointed out made me think more about it. So going up 1" in diameter makes 2mpg difference. It would be interesting to have some comparative...

I am having another series of thoughts about my car fleet and have noticed of late that I am using the W210 a lot for short distance driving. This is not greatly sensible to shift that mass around (and mine), and I thought about a little runaround (it would be available for a friend who is...

Hi. Ive recently bought a W210 E200 petrol. Someone told me I can have it tuned to be more fuel efficient. Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks for your help! :-)

Any tips and advice and things to look out for when buying an E350 coupe blue efficiency thanks!

Selling my C 220 CDI SE Saloon (£13,900 with COMAND) I have owned this car since new (July 2010), it has full Mercedes main dealer service history, so log book states 0 previous owners. Car is booked in to have it's next service, so won't need servicing for a while. Car is in immaculate...

Hi All, Mrs Ice has decided to get a new car and we have seen the above advertised locally. She currently drives a c200cdi avantgarde SE auto - 2006 estate. So is the above going to feel less special and even slower, as the c200 cdi is a little slow?? What do you all think? 1.6K in a...

When I learnt to drive 20 odd years ago, my instructor told me never to turn off the engine when stationery in traffic or stopping momentarily as the engine used a lot less fuel when idle than it did when starting off. I still follow this advice, but I do wonder if there is any truth in it?

Having totally stolen this idea from another poster I just wanted to ask what sort of MPG does anyone get out of the above. Trying to drive frugally but only returning 34MPG. Anyone else have one? And if so whats the performance? Cheers

Can you get one? Curious at the moment but I believe that a lot of remaps offer increased power and efficiency, so can you get remaps that focus on just increasing the MPG to its maximum?

Thought this was interesting, apologies if it's been posted elsewhere: New label system to help you compare tyres

Yesterday I got back from a weekend trip down south, total round trip of approx 850 miles. My usual average consumption seems to be hovering around 30 mpg due to most of my journeys being short (I live 5 mins away from work). The efficiency when the engine is cold seems very poor. For the...

Hi Folks. Has anyone had their Blue Efficiency remapped? I have a '59 w204 c220 CDI Blue Efficiency and am interested in a remap and would like to know your experiences etc. I've read, and have been told about issues with the injectors on some of the models in the past so am keen to find out...
