Re: [MBZ] 40k miles of CDI Ownership
They're gorgeous cars - and with the diesel engine they come close to being *perfect*. Yours is a great color choice - the sales person knew exactly what would happen if you drove it, didn't he? ;-) So far these engines are proven trouble free - correct? Seems like every new model that comes out leaves the factory with some built in problems - hopefully none crop up. LarryT OilAnalysis Time?

LarryT wrote: How much of a difference did you notice with new Motor Mounts? HUGE One of them failed completely... As in, it fell apart into two pieces when I took it out. It was in needs to be replaced condition for about 10k miles, but when it started to go bad, it took about a week to fail completely. The car was undriveable once it failed. I think the engine was basically bouncing off the chassis at that point.
