Hi folks,

I'm using 124 this time and thinking to buy a 210 for my 2nd e klass ride. In my country, the type option was more limited it only e230(96-99),e320(96-99),e240(00-02),e260(00-02).

I'm thinking to hunt e230'99...but still haven't the clue what is the most I've to watched from it's car and what is the different between each type I mention earlier.

Like example, in 124 for certain type we should look after the harness wiring or jetronic for the previous engine type (m102/03).

I've read previous thread in here and rarely found the e230 and try to search in wikipedia for 210 but still haven't brighten bout the 210 detail. I need to know exactly what I'm looking for before I started to hunt the 1.

Regards,

Declan

As long as I read there's lot of new 'vocab' in 210 rather than 124, of course it caused by the latest development&technology&improvement from the previous 1

What is the different between 210, production 96-98(daimler benz) and 98-02(daimler chrysler)?

Is it any critical different or it just the same production? Some say that the 96-97 is the piloting project with some failure?

Is it true?

is a bit underpowered in the 3700 lb sedan. But otherwise a great little engine.
Inspect spring perches,rust,service history,suspension fittings and bushings.
Buy the best model of what you are looking for,make sure you have it professionally inspected before you buy it and then do your own Maintenance on it and enjoy

Thx for the replied mate...is it e240 had 2,6 engine? My concerned is related to the different ot tax system in every country...it's true it's littlebit heavy for 230, but other concerened is the traffic consideration and the price of course

So it continuing using harness right? In every type of engine?

Declan

What is the maf mean/stand for?

raymond g-

mass air flow (sensor) - located within the air intake track, downrange of air filter

Declan

well, thanks raymond
what is the main job of this MAF?

Declan

is in US,canadian or europe market there's also several series of W210 such as classic, elegance & avantgarde?

Lancelot

The E240 has a 170hp 2.6L V6 engine. This model came available mid-1998 (model year 1999) and onward.

Declan

so u did ride e220D'98....is different much from e230? what is the wood panel model, is it still rose wood?

Lancelot

Is the E220D different? It has the least powerful engine that was available in the regular W210. Mine is the 95hp 16Valve version but there's also a taxi-version with just 75hp. (the latter are the engines that sometimes run 1 million KM's) I believe the E230 has 150hp, but still my 220D is a nice car to drive. Somehow MB balanced it all out, and ofcourse optimum settings for the gearbox.

The US forum members only know the W210 as (at least) 6-cylinder cars with leather interiors and climate control. But there is so much more in the W210 world. In Europe we also have 4 and 5 cylinder engines (both petrol and diesel), 'classic' / 'elegance' / 'avantgarde' trim versions, cloth or vinyl (taxi) interiors, manual AC or no AC at all!!! Models depend on the country and the tax-system.

i.e. for diesel W210's
In the Netherlands you had my 220D, 290TD (5-cylinder) and 300TD.
In Italy there was a 250TD to meet tax requirements.
In Belgium the same engine versions have a few HP less to avoid higher tax.

Declan

Well, now I know the tax issued is silmilar in many country, there's also classic,elegance&avantgarde.

In that case I'll narrow my option to 4cyl either E230/240

Now, I'm focus on comparation between those 2, thanks mate

Lancelot

You say 4-cylinder E230/240 just to clarify again:
E230 has a 4-cylinder 2.3L engine
E240 has a 6-cylinder 2.6L V-engine!!!

Declan

Oups, sorry then for the mistake....go for 230'99/00

Declan

Could someone give me an information what is the main different in eksterior&interior between 230,240/320?

The needs wasn't in the power but more to comfy
