weight

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...

I've not had my CLK all that long, and havent had a need to top the oil up yet. Having noticed another thread on bargain oil at Asda I thought I had better check the best oil type. Its a W209 CLK 320 Petrol. Thanks, James

As the weather is bad, I have been prepared this year. Got a 64 litre "Really Useful Box" in my boot (which is 71cm by 44cm) and have put 100kg of rock salt in it. Is this going to damage the boot floor with so much weight concentrated in a relatively small space? I have pulled it right to...

Just a quick one! Any body know the weight of a standard 230clk in KG's please? Thanks Ell :)

I just got off the phone with a friendly lady at the AA - they can get me an ICMV in time for the rally (thanks to VOSA for changing the V5 format to include a large "this is not proof of ownership" in big red letters on their new V5c!) Problem is... I need: Unladen weight of vehicle...

Hi All. Does anyone know the 'kerb weight' of a 51 plate CLK Coupe' (230k)? Thanks in advance.

Here I have for sale a set of original carlsson 1/16 forged wheels staggered fitment + tyres (extract from carlsson at bottom of page) These are NOT replicas! - therefore the original ultra-light weight "forged" rims (9.6kg!!) not only are they light but very very strong (if you look closely...

Hi, My first posting, so be gentle! I have a 1992 300TE 24V with Diavia air conditioning system fitted through Mercedes some time after the car was new (not sure when). I would like to get the system regassed, but after an engine steam clean about 4 years ago the green Diavia label in the...

Im trying to find out the kerb weight for my CLK 430 :wallbash:. On the V5 it say's Revenue Weight 1960 kg gross. Is this the kerb weight

Having looked around recently at the effect that wheel weight has on performance, steering response, comfort and economy I decided to weigh my own wheels as a baseline reference. The general consensus is that each kg increase in weight has 4 times that effect as opposed to overall vehicle...

Flicking through an old magazine earlier, the current SLR weighs in with a hefty 1768kg - given most of the body is carbon fibre, its still heavier than my 'hewn from granite' old skool steel, leather and walnut burr CE which according to the brochure tips the scales at 1490kg... No doubt the...

Hi all I am trying to find out the weight of a 5.6 litre (Or any M117) engine. I've found one place which say it is roughly 300 kilos but would like that backed up or possibly anyones experience. The one sat in my garage is simply heavy, but I have no way of measuring it. Cheers. Dave!

I have just requested and received a brochure for the ZO6 and the C6 coupe and convertible as i am looking to probably replace my car. Surprised to see that the C6 convertible is lighter than the coupe by 1 kg. I thought that most convertibles were heavier due to the rigidity loss in chopping...

Can anybody tell me what the max towing weight for a braked trailer on a E300 TD estate (1999) please, I can't find my handbook.

I've noticed that no tyre manufacturers seem to publish the weight of their tyres. Also the same for manufacturers of alloy wheels. Given that unsprung mass has an affect on handling and efficiency, I'm surprised these figures aren't available and used by those seeking a comparison. Is it...

Ok this is part two of thread below but I believe it warrants its own space. In the search for a garage that could 4 wheel align etc, I rand my local Kwik-Fit knowing that they couldnt do it but may know of a garage that could. After the normal sales blurb of we do this and we do that they...

Max load and roof weight in C220 CDi (W203) And yes, I checked the handbook - "details not available at the time of going to press...." :D Anybody have a later handook who can let me have this information? Thanks P.S. Just got a stonking deal on t'eBay for a roof box with bars for under...

Laughed out loud at this (read through the replies) :D :D

HI I was wondering if some one could help me. Im lookin into buying a set of alloys for my eclass from ebay, but i need to know the weight of them for Courier costs. heres a pic of the wheels i want would any body know how much they weigh with tyres?? Thanks Abs

I had one of my original steels fitted temporarily during an alloy refurb and was surprised to notice that the alloy weighed more than the steel ! Bathroom scales confirm that the 15" steel plus tyre was 15.5 kg and the 16" alloy plus tyre 18 kg. That sounds like a 10kg increase in unsprung...
