Hi.

Try this link http://mbspy.bacosys.be/M271.htm.

This has more than enough information about twinpulse, with some nice photos.

As I understand it Twinpulse is the name for the new range of 4 cylinder units that appear in the 180, 200 & 230 C-class cars, and 200 CLK and E-class models. They are supercharged and have more power, more torque, use less fuel and improved emmissions so company drivers pay less tax.

Rob,

Getting 39-42mpg from a W202 220 CDi Estate - I am a bit of an advocate for the diesel engine and would highly recommend it - especially on the emissions front......

Try http://www.avail.co.uk/cartaxcalculator.htm

For the whole story.

Sorry - just tried the link which doesn't work for the merc (they don't appear to have the data loaded)- would suggest looking at something of similar value which has the same emissions level.

Try it for a 3-series for example (sorry didn't mean to swear!)
