New v 6 diesels

I don't think the C320CDI has a particulate filter. It is not needed for that model to achieve EU4.

However the record breaking attempt in 3 E320CDI's appears to have included them.

Record-breaking in Laredo

"Despite the extreme stresses, the maintenance-free diesel particulate filter held up magnificently over the entire record distance without any deterioration in performance, testimony to the reliability and durability of this exhaust technology."

oh - apparently not so......

All Mercedes-Benz Diesel Passenger Cars to Feature Particulate Filters as Standard with Immediate Effect click here

That was dated July 8th.

I don't know if that affects the quoted CO2 figures? I note that BMW 330d was slightly lower than for the C320CDI.

oh well,

MB say my C320CDI will not have a PF as it doesnt need one. :?:

DC say all merc diesels will be fitted with them with immediate effect. :?:

MB also say that PF will not affect CO2 emissions, just particulates.
