W210 Touring Diesel?

Let me google that for you (Sorry, couldnt resist) I prefer to use unfiltered SVO. There is no such vehicle as a 99 E300TD in the US (or anywhere I believe). There are several and they all have pros and cons. There is belief that the plumbing around the IP needs to be changed to eliminate lines under vacuum and favour being under pressure instead. The reason is that under vacuum a leak can manifest as power lost due to air entering fuel stream. A pressure set up has less effect on driveability as fuel leaks out and can be identified by visual inspection without risk of air mixed fuel. Quote:
On another note, I find it funny that people say "Gas mileage" when talking about diesels, the motors that dont use Gas. Quote:
On another note, The 96-99 E300D is just that , E300D. By noting the model year, we know 96-97 are N/A and 98-99 are turbo. No need for the "T" as that designates a Touring model, or Wagon which in the W210 was not available with a diesel motor (sadly). Go forth into the world of alternative fuels and enjoy your OM606 powered Benz.

You are correct that: "On another note, The 96-99 E300D is just that , E300D. By noting the model year, we know 96-97 are N/A and 98-99 are turbo. No need for the "T" as that designates a Touring model, or Wagon which in the W210 was not available with a diesel motor (sadly).", but there are many places where "TD" COULD mean TurboDiesel (Autozone is only one example). Yes we all know that MB did not make a TD (Touring Diesel) in '98-'99, but in this case the TD is used to denote TurboDiesel, not Touring Diesel.

There are many errors on autoparts websites. For example. A 4 wheel drive chevrolet truck is listed as a K/C1500 (or 2500,3500 as needed). Anyone that knows this line, is aware that a K is a different animal than a C.
The people that code the websites dont know apples from oranges. But bottom line, it just doesnt matter. But if accurate communication is to be had...(?).

Agreed, it does not matter. It would be very hard to educate everyone the correct way to use the designations, so why try? I try not to get all bent out of shape when I see an ad on CL for a 1982 300TD, only to find out it is a 300D TURBODIESEL. These same ads also say it is "great on gas", so can only assume they don't really know what they have, and I don't bother to educate them either.

Of course i included the caveat of "exact same conditions" because it is very hard not to use the extra power and decrease your fuel economy. It's as if your brain gets reflashed at the same time, then all of a sudden your right foot feels really heavy.
