1993 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E280 review from UK and Ireland
"An outstanding piece of German over-engineering!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the Air Mass Meter, it was causing poor running.
Replaced the front & rear shocks, front roll bar bushes.
New battery.
New serpentine belt.
General comments?
This motor is superb. It's no surprise that MB built 2 million of them. Absolute top build quality and workmanship. You don't get such quality nowadays.
Only 4/5 years ago they were out of my reach, but I finally have one & it is way better than my previous car, a Citroen XM, in every department. Although when I first saw my Merc, it was dirty with leaves in the engine bay and the interior was dirty and dusty. But I could see that hard work and elbow grease would see the quality shine through.
And it has, it looks wonderful and after I wash and polish it, it looks so nice & that Almadine Red looks so lush I could eat it. Even after 140.000 miles, it drives like a new car, I am always smiling when I am in it.
