1996 E300E Diesel questions

Hello,
Can anyone provide feedback on the car and engine? Things to look out for?

Anyone know the MPG the car will get?

THanks for you help

With everything running properly between high 20's and low 30's.

Go to www.MercedesShop.com under the forums for further details.

OK thanks,
How does the engine hold up? I know there was a diesel engine MB made in the 90's that was junk, might have only been in the W140's?

What were the E300 diesel's rated at for HP and torque?

Here is a wallpaper I had made with the specs on a 97.


Known issues for 96-97 are surging, I've never really experienced it.
Glow plugs can be fun to replace, rear window regulators, little things other than the glow plugs. Go to the forum I listed earlier and go to seach and type in E300 and you will find a lot of information. Good Luck!
