VW TDI Convert

I will be picking up a new to me 2014 ML350 Bluetec tonight. Hopefully will be able to enjoy many miles. The ML is replacing our 2011 VW Touareg TDI. Just received funds from VW this morning!! This will be my first ever Mercedes Benz!

Welcome to MBworld! Recognize you from CT. While my 550 was in the shop for a control unit replacement, had an ML - actually a new GLE - for a week. The similar wheelbase make for a comparable ride to your T2, especially in sport mode. While my loaner was a gassed, I have driven the 350 Bluetech in a GL, bet it'll be more than up for the challenge, compared to your T2 rocket.

I hope you have a great experience with your new rig.
