Dear Friends..

I'm planning to change my W210 E200 year 1996 now, to C220 CDI but still not so sure bout the plan.

Many ppl are saying dat I'm driving my daddy's car since I'm still young (28 yo) and all of this statement makes me pening kepala..

I love my 210 as its suit my taste, big black car, hav executive looks, and many more.. even sumtimes its give me probs, for me its normal as no car, no prob.. but you will hav prob if u hav no car hehe.. my wife also said dat my car is a kereta orang tua.. herm..

Now, from mudah website i found one, C220 CDI, but not sure bout the capabilities and common probs of the car.. The price quite ok. hope any members can help by guiding me..

Thanks..

...ini kena Brother ismaia kita ni...

Let's wait for his response..

yg ini disel lah bro, I think you know that. kata orang kalau kail panjang sejengkal jangan di duga lautan dalam. sebelum consider disels ni kenali dulu disel ni macamana, educate yourself, menerusi mybenz dll. so far saya ok dgn diesel, begitu juga kawan-kawan lain yang memang guna diesel di Malaysia, macam voltan, timlow dll. Boleh tanya dengan fardell, dia dah pakai diesel W210.

kalau pasal image tu, pedulikan mereka bro. W210 is a refined car. kalau you letak AMG wheels, keluar sikit duit letak bumper AMG, ada duit lebih tukar leather dalam. Jaga enjin, insyaallah boleh bagi shadap you pada yang kata pakai kereta orang tua.

kalau nak kat W203 Cdi tu ada 2 choice, Euro (UK) dan Japan spec. Kalau saya jadi awak, kalau ada budget, cari la yang post face lift punya, 2005/2006 kalau tak silap.

Dan sebab specific kat W203, yg ni terima kasih kredit pada bro Rothman yang berikan buyer's guide ni. Boleh download dan baca, banyak info berguna:

atau

Kalau ada apa-apa yg spesifik, boleh tanya. Insyaallah saya atau org lain akan jawapn kalau berkenaan atau kalau kami tahu.

Salam semua,

Terima kasih banyak2 atas nasihat. Tu lah, haii.. susah betul.. tapi sebenarnya apa yang korang katakan tu semuanya betul. Saya memang taknak dengar kata orang, even sebelum beli pun abang dah tegur, ko nak pakai keter orang tua ke..

Tapi bila pikir2 balik, Pengerusi Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam pun pakai W210, Exco SUK pun ramai pakai W210.. Lantakla apa org nak kata..

Apapun, terima kasih pada semua yang sudi memberi pendapat. Memanglah, pakai disel ni maintenance pun lain dari petrol, enjin lain, principle banyak beza.. kena banyak belaja lagi nihh hehehe..

Fazri, sebelum u commit, I nak tanya you, why in the first place u nak pakai diesel? Kalau u jenis travel everyday >100km daily, then diesel is suitable for you. the reason why i pakai diesel because of the nature of work that requires me to travel daily and also i like the fuel consumption, really satisfying. The recent trip to Kuantan, one full tank from KL-Kuantan-Balok-Kuantan-KL and it covers close to 600km and upon arrival in KL i still have quarter tank left and another 250km to go with the amount of fuel.

Although I managed to get myself a good unit, but still u need some cash to spare. My first month driving the car filled with happy and sad moments. So far I have spent RM3k to brings the car back to life after my mechanic confirmed that my engine does not need to be overhauled but had the EGR valve sensor (the one that controls the emission) cleaned up and had all hoses and joints around the turbo and intercooler replaced and some additional items, u are way to go bro. Now I am waiting for my high pressure pump, cost around RM5k (fully imported from Germany) and once this replaced, the foremen told me that this car will run for the next couple of years.

Now, my car is running smoothly albeit of the rough sound (normal for diesel engine) but i will try to reduce the rough sound as it is going to be an ongoing progress to brings this car to be as good as new. As for diesel fuel, I highly recommend you BHP Diesel, so far my car likes the fuel, even Voltan too recommended me to use BHP Diesel fuel.

Hope this help bro.


P/S: We are in the same age bro and many of my friends from schools and universities went speechless to see my first car is a Mercedes Benz.
