hi to all,
i am new to the forums and new to owning a merc.
i have just bought an e320cdi auto estate 02 reg. 187k
the car seems a little sluggish getting from 50mph to 70mph.
gear box seems to be working ok. engine is very quiet and smooth. also when stationary and you rev the engine i.e foot to the floor and hold it there it only gets to just over 3000rpm. i know big diesels dont rev as much as smaller engines is this right or is there a problem causing both of the above. car does not smoke when reved . i dont have the service history yet. so i dont know when it was last serviced. but to be on the safe side i have bought a full genuine mb service kit including gearbox filter oil is full synthetic. thanks simon
