- c220 cdi estate 2001
I wonder if anyone has owned both and has any experiences of the pro's and con's. I have an early 203 estate, my first Merc and am impressed with it, especially the 70 mpg + I got on a recent trip to Scotland (I do drive a bit like a snail).
Repairing them myself is a necessity as I can't afford to do otherwise but I have been able to fix all the essential things so far.
I am even more impressed with the 204 claimed fuel consumption but what is it like to work on compared with the 203 and is the reliability as good?
My present 203 has no DMF or DPF but I'm pretty sure the 204 does, is this an additional source of problems?
Thanks
Peter
