Folks, I'm looking at trading in the old 9-5 as she's started to mis-behave, 1 week after passing it's MOT. She's got intermittent low fuel rail pressure and after that started sulking with an engine oil leak!

Does anyone have experience of Mercedes 270 cdi E class? I've found one with close to 200K in my very limited budget.

I await your combined knowledge

Hi dan hope your well
I have a clk 2.7 Diesel engine wise apart from injector blow by their pretty bomb proof bit unrefined but lots of torque good on fuel can do very big miles as with all mercs body corrosion is an issue earlier non 7 speed gearboxes are good generally well put together cars hope that helps ian

Cheers Ian, doing well and civvy life hasn't killed me yet, but does hinder car building!!

I'm looking at This car. Just gotta wait and see what they offer for the old girl. (car that is)

Not sure if this helps or is even relavant? But my mate has a merc CLS with the 2.7d
Not sure if it's same lump but it's up on miles(probably around 200k) does a 140mile a day commute in absolute style and luxury! Very torquey,very quick, I find it quite refined too, and it's been bullet proof for him engine wise!
He did need a steering rack replacing which was mega expensive but other than that or servicing it's not needed anything! And it's good on juice

Looks tidy in the pics price is ok car tax will be dearer than the Saab I guess worth a look for sure .

The Saab is a 3.0 V6 diesel, so same tax bracket. I'll try to get some TOIL time off next week and go see it.

Regards Dan.

If it's a good one I'm sure your like it .
