Owners' Reviews

I purchesed a 350cdi BE two months ago. The car had done 43000 km. at the time. Nothing but trouble since then. Been to the garage 9 times, and still not ok. Still under factory warenty, but the dealer says the car now runs as it is soposed to !!!?? The problem is: vibrations in the 2000 rpm. area. Strange vushing sounds from the engin when gun´ed. Sounds like air is released under high presure. I have had the injectors replaced, new enginemounts fitted, new airmass meter fitted. But still the same. The car pulls fine, but is so unrefined.. not what you would expect from a car in this pricerange. Have had Audi and BMW diesels before, and newer experienced so many problems. My wife drives a BMW 118d, and it has a smoother engine sound than my v6.... No wonder the 231hp engin only lasted 2 years before MB changed it to the 265hp version, which runs much much smoother ( borrowed one for a week whilst mine was in for the 7 time in 3 weeks. ).
