Reader Q: All-Wheel Drive Hybrid Or Diesel Cars (Not Trucks)?
Articles
February 11, 4442
The issue, we suspect, is that all-wheel drive costs a few thousand dollars extra, and so does either a hybrid powertrain or a clean-diesel engine--meaning that the AWD green car ends up with a base price more than $5,000 higher than a gasoline... We think your best bet in the next couple of model years may be the new Audi A6, which will be offered with both a clean-diesel engine and a hybrid powertrain option. Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system is one of its distinguishing features, so it offers AWD on every model, including the compact A3 hatchback (though not an AWD version of its A3 TDI).
Looking for a good service mechanic in Melbourne, Victoria, for a 1983 Mercedes Benz Diesel.?
I live in Melbourne and own a 1983 Mercedes Benz 300D (Diesel) in nice condition. I wonder if someone could recommend a good, honest, and reasonably priced local mechanic, for regular servicing and repairs. While the car is of a vintage not to have any specialist MB electronics, it would obviously be good to find a mechanic with some experience (and fondness) around older Mercedes and/or Diesel cars (and/or possible Biodiesel conversions). Preferably inner Melbourne or eastern suburbs. Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! (asked by idiot on April 22, 2008)
A: Use the telephone to call around, and ask about prices for routine service work. You know, oil changes, brake work, etc, and see how they react when you tell them what vehicle you've got. Also, talk to some other Benz owners in your area,,,,,,,someone knows where a good shop is located, you just have to talk to enough peole to find it!

Q:
What are the maintaince costs for a old Mercedes Benz diesel?
I'm looking at purchasing a 1980 Mercedes Benz 240D with 100k miles on a recently rebuilt engine. Does anyone have any experience with these cars? Is the maintenance cost expensive on it? If it needed a rebuilt trans, how much would that run me? Thanks. (asked by Don K on April 03, 2009)
A: Keep in mind that the car is nearly 30 years old. That's a long time for anything that is still original on that vehicle. The good news is that the 2.4L M616 diesel is very robust and is about as bullet-proof as a internal combustion engine can be. They are very tough as long as they are maintained properly. The above post is correct in saying that the 4 speed manual is the better choice for that engine. It's a very slow vehicle when it's hooked up to the automatic. As far as the body is concerned, a lot of the suspension bushings will be well past their prime if any of them are still original. However, the W123 chassis (1977-1985) was very popular so most parts are still available. The costs are not too bad really. Just make sure to change the oil and diesel filters on a regular basis and look after the other small stuff before it becomes a big problem. (answered by Jay P on April 03, 2009)
A: The Mercedes are all good cars, especially the diesels. (unless they have been abused) If the rebuild was done right, you should get another 2-300,000 miles without another rebuild. The transmission is a manual I hope with the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder diesel. You need the 5 cylinder 3.0 liter to have good power with the automatic transmission. Mercedes parts are expensive, new or used, so if it "might" have a problem don't buy it! The 240D is a good car, but don't expect it to be a speedster and it won't win many stop light drag races. Even a constant diet of highway speeds will strain it. It is a good cruise at 60-65 mph car (yes you can hit 70-maybe 80 mph, but remember the part about expensive parts?) and an even better around town car. Given the choice (prices seem to be close) I'd go with the 3.0 liter diesel. (300D) BUT: which ever way you go, have it checked over really good by someone who knows Mercedes diesels before buying.

Q:
'05 Mercedes Benz diesel E320CDI tends to "buck" if held at approx 12-1500 RPMs at any speed, problem?
I've been to the dealership 4 times and they cannot fix the problem and say there are no error codes in the car and of course it does not 'buck' when they have the car. Anyone hear of this defect or solution? (asked by Rk on November 29, 2007)
A: It could be the throttle position sensor if it has some like that.
Some like this happen to a friend of mine on a Dodge Neon. He found the problem on a Dyno. He ran the car and not error codes but the sensor is like a knob on a radio, like volume control. The sensor had a flat spot or was not linear in one point. No enough error for the computer to detect the error. It could be a spot on the sensor that gives the wrong reading to the computer like, letting of the gas or slamming on it. The Computers sees the condition and adjust the engine therefore giving that buck on that particular RPM. All the sensor gives signals to the computer to adjust the fuel delivery and all the other necessary adjustments to keep the engine running in optimal condition.
Does this happen under load? Acceleration, Deccel, changing gears? It could be any of that. But you have to duplicate the condition. (answered by spammer on November 29, 2007)
