If you have a 2003 Galactic blue Bora with a TDI with a red "I" with SSR wheels , and a red I on the motor cover PM me and I can give you some info if you want. First 3 of tag DM8.

So the E400 with the V8 diesel is gone?

A V-8 is needed for the S-class

I think the GL is a very nice vehicle and score's high in Consumer Reports , they tested the 2009 BlueTec. The Highest Rated Suv was at 89 , and the GL was 78 rated but still Reliability was below average. All Mercedes owner cost but for the C-class have a full black dot the C-class has a half...

So I wonder if the gas motor will just drop in to take the place of the diesel one. That would be helpful as the GM auto diesel motor was what killed the diesel market here in the USA.

Good luck with your shooting. I did shoot competitively with a 6 PPC and 45's but never had 10,000 rounds for a shoot.

+1 My pump needed to be the viton seal kit but it was after 150,000 miles. I got my 03 new , it was a great car , check the timing belt mine was due at 100K miles.

I had these on my 2003 TDI and had to go with the only 16" tire that would fit 215/60/16 and I checked the miles with my GPS and they Did give me around 3.5 mpg better over my Pilot Exalto A/S. I only had my car for 10,000 miles with the tires before selling it so I don't know how long they...

What needs to be done is all the E85 vehicles need to use E85 , do the different size nozzle like they did with unleaded. Then let the cars , trucks , boats and everything that not able to run ethanol for any reason use fuel with out ethanol , that would save more fuel that E15. My Land Rover...

Not to many people on this side of the pond that have the parts to make power here on BMW diesels. The Finnish have made Big Hp from the Benz's. BMW has only been here a few years and most still are under warranty.

I ran B-100 to B20 for years in my ALH motor and I did replace the injection pump seal with the viton seal and the return lines fuel with viton. I found that B-20 worked best for mileage and power.

As small as the TDI's are and as Large as the Benz's can get , your not going to get a orange from a apple.
