Mercedes Benz E Class

Are you looking for a Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

Q: How do you reset the quartz dashboard watch on the E-Class Mercedes Benz model W211?

A: if you have merc take it back to garage they might give free info

Q: I saw a Mercedes Benz class E,which was written EMC,I don’t know what the EMC is??

A: emc is the distributer in the middle east (UAE) Emirates Motor Company.

By the way, Kompressor- not Compressor (for the guy that suggested that)

Q: Does anyone know what kind of transmission fluid a 190 2.3L E-Class Mercedes Benz would take?
I left my manual at school.

A: Look on the stick. Dexron is almost a safe bet. M-B has always used that. However, M-B trannies are very, very expensive to repair or replace. Usually the dealer is totally clueless and will just sell you new or rebuilt for heart-stopping prices.

So unless you are perfectly certain what type of fluid to add, don’t add any. And don’t drive it with low fluid!! Be careful not to overfill, add with car running in park with hot transmission.

Q: Difference between C-class and E-class Mercedes Benz?
Can anyone tell me the meanings of C-class and/or E-class and the figures C220, E350, C320, E280, etc. If I want to buy for occasional long distance journeys on not-so-good road terrain, which is more suitable.

What is the advantage of 6 cylinders to 4 cylinders.

Any advantage of manual over automatic gears. Does any of them comes with sports shift gear system (combination of both manual and automatic) as in some FORD cars.

A: C class is the entry level luxury car. It also is the cheapest and the smallest 4 door sedan Benz makes. E class is a big step up. It is a mid size luxury sedan. It is significantly much more conformable to drive, especially long journeys. Oh, and more reliable too. On the 2004 model and after the air suspension was an option for the E class and improved the ride.

The advantage of the 6 cylinder engine is that first it is much more reliable. Can expect a 6 cylinder to last a lot more than a 4 cylinder. Also another advantage is that it is a smoother running engine. The 4 cylinder on the Benz usually comes with a compressor and that means that the engine is being over-worked constantly.

The numbers after the letter are designation for the size of the engine. For example a C320 or E320 has the same 3.2L engine. Thus an E350 has a 3.7L engine, an 280 is an 2.8L engine and so on.

As far as the transmission the only one that you would find a manual tranny in is the C class and SLK class. At least in the USA market. Europe is different and you can find a manual tranny on an E or S class. The most common transmission is the automatic one here in the USA. After year 2000 all models had the trip-tronic transmission, meaning an automatic tranny, with the option of shifting gears manually using the shifter and changing gears using the +/- feature. The transmission is probably more of an personal preference I think. The manual would(could) last longer and is cheaper, but the automatic is more convenient, plus you always have the option to manually shift. If you want real manual the automatic is not your option.

Hope this helps.

Q: Few questions about the Mercedes Benz E-Class W210.?
I am considering buying a used 1998 Mercedes E-Class.
I have never owned a Mercedes before and had a few questions.
First,would you recommend the gasoline or diesel engine?
Also, I prefer to do most work on my cars on my own. I can do pretty much all basic repairs and maintenance, and I will bring it to the shop for more in depth sort of work.
I’ve owned and worked on several BMW’s (mostly E30’s) and find them to be pretty straight forward. How are the Mercedes to work on?
I was also surprised to find that parts for my BMW E30 were far less expensive then I had expected and relatively easy to find. How are the parts for the W210 as far as pricing and availability?
I’ve been happy with my BMW’s reliability. How reliable could I expect the Mercedes W210 to fare?
I would love to get another BMW, but for winter driving in New England the BMW leaves much to be desired. How does the E-Class handle, especially in the snow. How well does the 4Matic perform?
Thanks.
I am looking to buy it used from a private party.
This will be a second, technically 3rd car, as neither of my other 2 do well in the snow, slush, ice etc of Connecticut. I’m also considering actually getting the wagon, there’s a used one for sale locally that looks good. My other 2 cars are a fully restored E30 BMW 325i convertible and an Acura RSX S, so not only are they not good in winter driving, they are also limited in space. So thought the wagon would be good to have for a little more room for people and cargo without having to resort to an SUV. I’m not a fan of SUV’s. So figure the wagon would be a good compromise.
I have a MBz dealership 2 towns over, but would rather avoid them doing the work on it, as the dealership tends to be pricy. But could if needed.
I just want to avoid complicated repairs or huge repair bills which I know some euro cars are notorious for. But from experience the older ones seem to be less expensive to repair and maintain, at least with my BMW’s.

A: First off, 4matic wasn’t available on US Diesel models. So you’re going to be looking at gassers only.

I’ve owned an 1999 E320 4matic wagon from new. I can honestly say that it’s been a bitter disappointment. Of all the Mercedes I’ve ever had, it is the worst for repairs and rust. I have an ‘87 190D with 300,000 miles that runs far more reliably and has less body rot. I keep the E320 because the size of the car is exactly right for my needs. There are few wagons to choose from in this size class. It’s great in the snow, and I’ve never had a serious transmission problem.

As for repairs, I find the car to be a PITA to work on. Things are difficult to access, the shop manual is hard to get, and the diagnostic software is only available to dealers. For this reason, I spend more on repairs for this car than any other car I own, with a lot of work being done by the dealer.

When the car was new, I bought an extended warranty, which carried it through the first seven years or so. On warranty, I didn’t count the cost of repairs, which was considerable. Since it’s off warranty, I budget three grand a year for unexpected surprises, like last year’s new differential. Or the occasional flatbed ride when a sensor fails.

Enjoy you car, I hope your experience is better than mine.

Q: Why is it the Mercedes-Benz E-Class the least most stolen Luxury vehicle? Do thieves not like the car?
I was reading up on some articles, and in a couple of magazine about the most and unpopular vehicles out there. And they were talking about which cars were the most stolen and which ones are not. And in the luxury car section, of course the Cadillac Escalade was the most stolen car. but in the least most stolen luxury car section, they said it was the Mercedes E-class. I am not a fan of Mercedes but i was a little shocked. People praise Mercedes so much that i was thinking that all of the Mercedes types would be stolen. so what my question is why is the E-Class the least popular out of the bunch?

A: It is the fact that they cannot be hotwired. They have “smart keys” which reprogram themselves every 30 seconds. The code is something like 18+ digits long and it’s pretty much impossible to steal the car until the theif has the original key.

Q: Which would you prefer, a Mercedes-Benz C-Class or Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

A: i currently own the c-class, and my wife drives the e-class, so i have driven both extensively. the c-class is definitly my favorite because it is more of a sport coupe, while the e-class is a mid-range luxury car.

Q: About how much would it cost to replace an injector pump for Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300D???

A: First of all, be sure that this is the real problem. A diesel fuel pump replacement is very expensive. There are diesel pump rebuilders, specializing in Bosch fuel pumps, but you will have to look them up in the Yellow Pages. First I would try to have your fuel system purged and cleaned if this car is high mileage. You make no mention of the year or mileage. Usually, the factory pump will last for over 250,000 miles, unless it has rusted internally from water or bad fuel. If you are very lucky, the cleaning procedure will do a lot of good. There is a product for this called diesel purge, made by Lubro-Moly of Germany. It is like a tune up in a can. Also, poor engine compression may act like a weakened fuel pump. Have things tested out.

Q: What is the title of the new mercedes-benz e-class commercial song?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjfzHY5-2sM

the background music is AWESOME??! where can i get it, can i? what’s it called or who sings it?!

A: damnn yoo i hate that song lol

Q: What would a 1977 Mercedes-Benz E-class sell for?
Should I hold onto it and look forward to the value going up in later years?
At 20 years old — it’s considered a classic. Should I hold onto it and look forward to the value going up in later years?

A: Personally, I would hold on to it for a few more years and let it continue to appreciate.

Q: why does the 2010 mercedes benz e class thats in europe have a differnt gear selecter then the one in america?
the europe model has a differnt gear selecter then the one in usa

A: Makers adapt their products to the local market preferences – the US model has details that appeal to the US customer which helps sales. This may even be a consequence of a different gearbox/transmission selected to fit the engines, which are also likely to differ for car tax and fuel pricing reasons.

Q: Which car is better, a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or a Jaguar XF?
Compare the 2009 models.

A: Well this is tough…

The Mercedes E-class (2009 model)
This was was originally introduced in 2003 and from 1998-2003 (roughly) Mercedes decided to cut corners, and the Mercedes brand’s quality declined and many customers became dissatisfied, but now Mercedes decided to spend the money to fix their problems. However some elements of the cost-cutting of the “dark era” of Mercedes may still be present in the E-class.

But the E-class still has a long history of innovation, safety, and luxury. Inside is fabulous and you know you are sitting in a machine of timeless elegance and prestige. The response is excellent and it accelerates smoothly.

The Jag…
This was one of Ford’s last projects. After years of cost cutting, Jaguar’s name was tarnished and many elements of this is shown. Now it is owned by Tata (Indian company). I didn’t trust Ford and I really don’t trust Tata.

Underneath, this is still the S-type but cleverly covered up. The console uses discreet amounts of plastic that sort of takes away from the feel of this car. Something in the interior seems to be missing. However, this car is the statement that is Jaguar say that: “I’m not the sleepy S-type, and I’m ready to challenge the Germans.” But the exterior styling is gorgeous. It was styled by Aston Martin’s ex-designer. Engine sounds really nice!

Bottom line:
For the price and value and overall comfort, go for the Merc E-class (2010 model is even better though! more technically goodies and new agressive styling).

Q: What is more luxurious, the Lexus RX 350 or the Mercedes- Benz E- class?

A: I like the lexus better
