engine
 

Can anyone tell me on a 1996 Mercedes diesel is it an I 6 cyl. diesel or a V6 diesel? I assume it is a na engine? Does this model of a Mercedes have pretty good get up and go?

um. 606 if i'm not mistaken??? its hard adjusting to things post 1980 for me. bahaha.

I6 as far as i'm aware....

if I'm wrong then someone will sure correct me vs just simply replying to your post :/

&& its not hateful if its the same as i believe.

Yes the '96 is the first-year W210 body with the 606 naturally-aspriated (or N/A) inline six, I believe 3.2L. Very good engine, good power but not like the turbo cars, different opinions on the 210 body.

OMG YAY!
i'm finally remembering engine number like things :)

Do the 1996 have the rubber hoses that are compatable with the bio-diesel? I think it's like Vitron.

I am not up on anything post 85, but look at the motor from
one side..........do you see 3 injector lines?

If not, it is an inline.

Its a 3 litre, 24 valve straight 6.

I have the same year car, and in stop and go traffic, it is not fast off the line compared to the turbo models, but I get by in busy traffic with no problem. At highway speeds, the car handles like a dream, is safe, comfortable, and loafing at 65-75 mph. Any faster than that, and I am looking to get a ticket. Milage is excellent, getting about 26-27 in non-highway driving, and up to 35-37 straight highway at legal speeds.

The fuel lines will not deterioate from Bio usage; the orings sealing them will. Fairly simple matter to switch them over to viton orings.

MB never sold a V6 diesel in the USA until 2008.
