Come to think of it, that has not happened in a long time. Is he still around?

Not so on the '99 E300TD - cancelling of the throttle takes place anytime the brake is depressed. Ala Toyota 'lack of braking' lawsuit era....... I thought it interesting that you (me) could apply pressure to both on the '06 E320 CDI and go back to yesteryear - which is why my theory of the previous owner riding the left side of the brake pedal in city traffic was plausibly why the car has eaten through sets of brake pads and rotors?! Quote:
The reason I don't run the AC much (except with ladyfriend aboard) is because my modus operendi as a guy that works out of his home office for 22+ years, is that most travelling is done in very casual shorts / T-shirt, or business casual dress (golf shirt/Khakis) and I don't want the engine laboring in this 97*-100* heat every day with the AC on. Quote:
Jim, the reasons why I don't walk or bicycle to the health club are thusly; tremendous city/suburban vehicular street traffic! - i.e. fumes, (great for my mild-asthma) danger getting hit by cars, cross under 8-lane viaduct of Interstate, with the need to cross access roads paralleling Interstate - each 4-lanes wide....... crosswalk signages that are mostly ignored by drivers in cars......pidgeon droppings covering underpass........you get the picture..... this isn't my ideal cityscape lifeplan, but will do for now because of the necessity to be near Dallas Love Field (Southwest Airlines Hdqtrs.) and Baylor | Texas A & M Dental College - near east Dallas........

Recall, Tim, that my single DAY RECAP of driving SanAntonio to Dallas (325 miles) on ALL Interstate highway driving @ 65 to 70 mph for THAT day, was 41.1 mpg by the time I reached my exit in East Dallas on I-30..... So, yes, the car does get 40+ mpg HWY! ALSO: Interstate I-35 went at a crawl of 5 to 10 mph clogged freeway driving through several miles of that sleepy town of Austin, Texas on that SA to DAL Tuesday afternoon drive. Recall that I only used the AC 1/2 the trip that day. Thusly, I would expect the car to similarly achieve 40 mpg or better on a 50 to 60 mile road trip @ 55-60 mph..

Tyler | Tim | JimY. Got another CDI oddity for ya?
At the shift-point of 1,800 - 2,000 RPM, (NOT under heavy accelleration - just regular run-up) the car has a; WAAA and a possible slight metal vibration/rattling at that RPM when shifting.....not the transmission.
Sounds like air-filter assembly???? OR somethin' loose under the hood, or?????? Naturally, open the driver's window to hear it well..... Run-up easy through 1,800 RPM.....1st to 2nd, to 3rd. That's where you (if your's are similar) 1,800 to 2,000 IS where you will hear it...... What say the E320 CDI sedan driving gang? *Tyler - I noticed your CDI is in C or Comfort transmission mode. That's for slick winter surfaces, and or, taking off w/o feeling the transmission shifts - because it starts out in 2nd. I don't see where you would get better mpg using it in stop 'n go driving, FWIW. The little C/S modality selector button is @ 11 o'clock on the flat console near the ashtray.

Forced is a very knowledgable fellow but does not play well with others. He constantly would rail at people if they asked what he thought to be a foolish question or dared to disagree with him.
I always rooted for him to grow some tolerance and courtesy but he never did.

I thought MB doesn't allow running over B20 in the newer diesels...has anyone even run commercial B100 for a while? I thought the issue was that high level biodiesel or grease breaks down under the CDI system pressures, causing issues....
I know my VW TDI (cdi) is only rated to B5 or whatever....part of it being the soot product clogging the DPF if its run on Bio.

Every time I fire-up the #4K lb. beast for the health club run 1 mile away, I do too! Save avoiding the minefield of vehicular traffic, it makes no sense.

For a little contrast, see attached photo of a typical E55 commute...
