Hi Guys
My sister in law is looking for an estate merc and wants a diesel. There is a 2001 w210 220cdi with 47k. I took it for a drive today and observed a few things.
When I started it there was ALOT of vibration also the preglow light did not go out for a long time, say 2 mins. Is this normal? I called without phoning so it may not have been started in a long time. What should it idle at when cold?
Also I know the w210 has rust issues, I did observe rust around the boot but nothing too severe around the wheel arches. My question is, did they address some of the rust issues when they facelifted the w210 in 2000?
Anything else I should check/look for?
Thanks
Ryan
