What is a E300?

[C280 JR]

I never heard of it nor have i seen it before untill last night...is it a deasel or what??

E300- full designation is E300D. They were avalible in both the W124 and W210 bodys. on the W210, it was only made in they model year 1996

Is the W210 E300 any good? Anyone know if a W211 diesel will be offered in the US?

it went turbo in 1998 and disappeared for 2000.

the 300TD would smoke you out Elvir :P

Both the W124 and 210 diesels are very good cars.

and yes a W211 E400 CDI will be offered next year. Currently VW is the only car manufacter to offer diesels

from what I've heard DaimlerChrysler is trying to launch the E 320 CDI next spring in the US..

I remember the big deal about the E300d-s being the range, one dealer ran an ad stating that you could get from Washington DC to Orlando FL on one tank of gas, Road & Track also drove one from LA to Las Vegas and back(at around 80MPH) on one tank, the writer said it was great knowing he could loss all his money and not have to worry about needing gas money for the return trip.

ah my dream daily driver... a 1999 E300 Turbodiesel w/ leather seats, COMMAND retrofit, xenon headlights...

sweett..

Never realized that the naturally aspirated E300 engine makes more power than my 83 Turbodiesel :P less torque though ... heheh ;)

Smooth diesel power from eight cylinders
The most powerful V8 passenger car diesel engine
191 kW/260 hp output and 560 Newtonmetres of torque
Common rail technology, bi-turbo system and water intercooling


Stuttgart – From the spring of 2003, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be available in a version with the world’s most powerful V8 passenger car diesel engine. The bi-turbo unit with common rail direct injection, together with other high-tech innovations, is capable of developing 191 kW/260 hp from a displacement of 3996 cubic centimetres. Through specific detailed improvements to the engine, the charge-air cooling and the exhaust system, the Mercedes engineers have managed to achieve an increase in power output of 7 kW/10 hp over the V8 diesel engines in the S, M and G-Class.

The maximum torque of 560 Newton metres, available between 1700 and 2600 rpm, is also among the best for a diesel-powered passenger car. As a result, the car is capable of swift acceleration and powerful intermediate bursts of speed: the E 400 CDI reaches 100 km/h from a standing start in just 6.9 seconds, while the figure of 6.7 seconds for its acceleration from 60 to 120 km/h truly demonstrates its remarkable tractive power.

These are new top figures for a diesel in this vehicle class. The bi-turbo engine has demonstrated its further qualities in the fuel consumption tests of the European test cycle. The EUDC combined consumption figure is only 9.4 litres per 100 kilometres, thus allowing the E 400 CDI to cover more than 850 kilometres on one 80-litre tank of fuel.

The arrival of the new top-of-the-range CDI model means that there are now five state-of-the-art direct injection diesel engines in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon range. Their output ranges from 90 kW/122 hp in the E 200 CDI to 191 kW/260 hp in the E 400 CDI. As well as a five-speed automatic transmission, the standard equipment of this most powerful of diesel-powered passenger cars includes the electronically controlled air suspension system AIRMATIC DC (Dual Control), the four-zone luxury climate control system THERMOTRONIC, 17-inch light-alloy wheels and speed-sensitive power steering.

Engine technology: a unique combination of diesel innovations

The excellent performance achieved with the eight-cylinder engine is the consequence of all the latest diesel innovations for the Mercedes-Benz brand, combined here by the development team in Stuttgart with a range of new developments. For instance:

Four-valve technology
Common rail system with pilot injection
Throttled-intake high-pressure pump
Bi-turbo charging with variable turbine geometry (VNT technology)
Water-cooled intercooler
Exhaust gas recirculation
Electrically operated air intake throttle
Lightweight construction with aluminium cylinder heads and crankcase
Turbocharger: electric controls for spontaneous thrust

Principally responsible for the impressive torque and performance development are the two exhaust gas turbochargers to the left and right of the cylinder banks. The bi-turbo system’s electronic controls, with dual air mass sensor, enable it to work in a synchronised fashion and to adjust the supply of combustion air precisely to the required performance. This is made possible above all by the variable turbine geometry on the basis of VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbine) with electric and thus spontaneously adjustable guide vanes controlled by mapped performance data.

The cooling of the intake air compressed by the turbochargers is undertaken by a water-cooled intercooler attached to a special low-temperature water cooler that is kept supplied with coolant by a separate electric circulation pump. This lowers the air temperature by up to 100 degrees Celsius, ensuring that the engine uses more air and can thus develop more power.

Direct injection: common rail system with adjustable high-pressure pump

Like all Mercedes-Benz CDI engines, the fuel injection system in the new E 400 CDI works on the principle of common rail. The injection pump has been specially developed for the eight-cylinder engine and can be controlled by means of an intake throttle according to need – depending on the injection pressure – ensuring that the fuel temperature is reduced by up to 20 degrees Celsius, so reducing exhaust emissions and lowering fuel consumption when compared to a conventional system. The intake throttle, however, acts merely as a pre-control for the high-pressure pump, with the actual injection pressure in the two rails still being provided by the electronic engine management and the regulating valve.

A particular feature of the Mercedes-Benz CDI engines is what is known as pilot injection. Here, too, in the eight-cylinder units, this leads to an audible reduction in combustion noise. Just a few milliseconds before the actual fuel injection, a small quantity of diesel is allowed to flow into the cylinder, where it ignites, thus pre-warming the combustion chambers. This improves conditions for the main injection process that follows: the fuel ignites sooner, while combustion chamber pressure, temperature and thus also combustion noise are kept at a low level.

Now if they would only bring over the ML400 CDI. That would something to think about!
