So how many miles does your E class have so far?
#81
293,265 '87 300 Turbodiesel Still going strong and passes Oregon's tough emissions. Transmission has developed a hard clunk between 2nd and 3rd but all other shifts are fine. Not sure what that's all about.

ANY diesel can pass Oregon's "tough" emissions. A diesel would have to be in extreme disrepair to fail.
Its not like a gas car emissions test where they measure HC, CO, CO2 and NOx, while allowing no visible smoke and checking that the gas cap works correctly, the cats are still in the exhaust and there are no active engine fault codes.
In comparison, diesels only have to put out less than 20% smoke to pass the test. Thats it.
Really tough to pass that!

Got my first ever Mercedes E200 Touring, makes you feel like a different person, great family car, I have 4 kids, it is a 1999 with 111,000 miles, just replaced the wafter pump 3 months ago, kids fight over who gets to sit in the back. I am the 3rd owner, will not know what to do when it is gone.
