Hi
I currently own a 2005 e280 cdi 7g with around 165k on the clock, as of recently I got a new job which requires me to do 1000 miles a week, this will fall to around 800 within a months time. This means I will be clocking up some serious mileage but personally I cant think of a better car for the job.
Today I had it serviced and also the gearbox oil done as well including the filter. It has been averaging around 50-55 mpg at 60-70 mph prior to the service which was slightly overdue, so well impressed there. Tyres are original mercedes Bridgestone Turanza ER300. I also had a four wheel alignment done whilst it was getting serviced.
Anybody have any tips for long term maintenance and any other mods/ maintenance I can do to squeeze a bit more economy and life out of it?
Thanks
