The salon is undoubtedly the best than in the comparison of the Japanese. Support suits too. The trunk is very spacious. The dynamics of overclocking and braking pleasantly pleased. Best auto In its segment. If she also front-wheel drive - In general, there would be a plane, I also want to note the advantages of the on-board computer, tests and shows all the electrical panel and possible system defects, very convenient in motion. In a word, car satisfied!

MERCEDES E-CLASS, 2002
The spouse liked the color of the car and the color of the cabin. He considered the purchase of Mercedes C-Class and Lexus ES300. Mercedes C-Class did not take due to small sizes, and Lexus ES300 cost in the US for the same money as Mercedes E320. I used to have Mercedes C180 (W202) and Mercedes E240 (W210), so I bought Mercedes E320, and not Lexus ES300. Dynamics and high-level handling, the interior is just a flat. Changed an extra battery (similar to a motorcycle, is under the hood). And I reprogrammed the charging charge of the battery and the service was changed to me some block in the brake system. These two positions were the factory feedback.
In 2002, the light was represented new Body Mercedes E-class: W211. Mercedes E in 211 Body He became the successor of the super successful model of the E-class Mercedes in the 210th body, which was produced from 1995 to 2002 (that is, 7 years). According to the end of 2008, more than 1.5 million in the Body W211 were sold.
Mercedes E (211 Body) - Review of innovations
Compared to W210, Mercedes E W211 became even more - the dimensions increased slightly, the level of comfort became even higher, and the security system is even more reliable. Concerning external view, Mercedes designers did not invent a new bike - they simply refined the old design of the 210th body, updated it, brought more smooth forms into the exterior. Already a business card 4 separate round phases did not share anywhere - they were inherited from W210, where they were first applied, and in 211 the body slightly changed their shape. Now they are located at a low angle, consist of several sections and acquired the Intelligent Light System.
The rear stop headlights have undergone pleasant changes - now they are the same as a representative Mercedes S-class.
As for the configuration of Mercedes in 211 body, it's like ever before the rich - Mercedes literally stuffed with the most modern devices, and the E500 model appeared air suspension Airmatic Dual Control. Also innovation - adaptive phases with the Intelligent Light System system, which, depending on road Conditions He itself adjusts the beam of light.

If Mercedes in the Body W210 got the nickname "Eye" for the transition to unusual at that time for the Mercedes style of head lighting with separate round headlights, then his heir, the W211 series, received a much more huddling nickname "squint", again, for the form of headlights.
The car has become more beautiful, more comfortable and - subjective - feminine. Part of the public confuses, but let's remember that in Russia Mercedes in a pure misunderstanding is considered a creature of the male. Actually, Mercedes is a beautiful female name, and many memorandum on Dumas novels. Well, quite objectively the car has become even more difficult and even more expensive in service than predecessors.
Heir and glorious ancestors
As is known, Mercedes is either new or classic, and this generation of E-class has become classic immediately from the moment of exit. The new car has become a worthy successor of the extremely successful W210, which asked new standards for power, comfort and equipment in the class at one time. New Machine It was only to defend the position.
From the point of view of the technical dorestayling W211, the same motors, the same gearboxes, the same choice of complete sets, but everything is a bit better, a little more convenient and more beautiful.
And the new generation turned out to be more commercially successful! More than 1.5 million cars for seven years of production against 1.3 million in W210, although to the "great-grandfather" W124 far. The circulation of those machines amounted to all 2.5 million, but was produced by the "124th" nine years against seven, and in the gamma of the body there were a coupe, and a convertible, who over time transferred to a separate platform. So the comparison is not entirely correct.
Restayl or Dorestayl?
Presented the car in 2002, and the next generation of E-class appeared only in 2009, so the car has lived on the conveyor quite long life. During this time, the model survived one thorough restyling in 2007 and many small changes, and the Gamma of Motors and some basic systems, in particular the braking, fully changed.
It is difficult to say what machine is better. Many are harmoniously (about the arguments are slightly lower) argue that dorestayl W211 with the "large" motors of the M112 series (V6) and M113 (V8) - the best wayThe more new cars. Especially since changes in appearance during restinding are not so great. In any case, it looks great to this day, which cannot be said about more than fresh W212.
Package
The new E-class put an end to frankly poor initial configurations, although the "Base" included two-zone climate control Thermatic, it was possible to order autonomous heater Webasto., heated mirrors and all seats. For chairs it was possible to order and ventilation. Automatic darkening of mirrors is possible not only for the salon mirror, but also for lateral. Of course, the adaptive light of the ILS, with five modes of work and automatic switching Bunch within the script. The optional pneumatic suspension was available in almost any configurations, but did not receive a special distribution due to high prices, and the usual suspension on the car works fine.
A little about the offer
The gamma bodies of the machine did not undergo changes in comparison with the W210, the choice in any case will have to do between the sedan and the universal. The drive will be either rear or complete (4matik in Russia received a steady nickname "Company"), gearboxes or five-speed, or newer and naughty "seventures" on some machines after restyling. The mansion is the version of AMG, they use their own automatic transmission, albeit on the basis of standard Mercedes boxes.

But no matter how under the hood, whatever the drive is from the car, it will always have a spacious salon, great quality Finishing materials, star on the hood and three options.
Machines in the body "Universal" little, less than 4% of all offers, so that can be considered a piece goods. It affects the positioning of the machine - for executive functions, the cargo-passenger version is not very necessary, and if someone needs these functions, he will choose the SUV rather, so the choice is minimal.
Fuel economy is also not very important for potential owners. Especially since gasoline is inexpensive, and gasoline engines in Mercedes are represented widely - 72% of all gasoline cars, 28% remains for diesel engines. The most common motors: gasoline 1.8 (19% of proposals) and diesel 2.1 (15%). The popularity of "younger" motors is quite substantiated: the body looks the same, and what a motor there is not so important. But of course, 96% of cars with an automatic box are still a Merce!
Breakdowns and problems in operation
Motors
The basis of the M271-M112-M113 families M271-M112-M113 was the basis of the dorestayling gamma.
The M271 family is the most common Motor for E-shki, in line "Four" with a volume of 1.8 liters due to the compressor has enough power and moment to drag not a light machine. Engine power in dorestayling version - 163 hp, after restyling the power increased to 183 forces.
In Russia, officially not supplied versions of cars with direct injectionBut such versions were present in Europe, which means it is possible to meet the option with a capacity of 170 forces and the letters of CGI in the designation of the model. Such machines in difficulty are similar to M271 EVO motors, but due to larger age and smaller spread even more troubles in operation.
The engine is considered quite reliable, but without weak places it did not cost. Most often, there are problems with, which is drawn up, at the same time damaging the stars of the mechanism of the actuator drive. Problems often arose at runs less than 60 thousand kilometers, and now to meet the car with the "native" difficult. But still its resource does not apply to a record, it is worth listening to sounds when cold start. As always, the board for inconsistencies will be the repair of the GBC, or even the replacement of the motor.
Problems with the work of the crankcase ventilation system are characteristic of machines at age: the system valves are sticking, and tubes are polluted. The consequence is often the crooking of the rods of valves and loss of compression. The problem was eliminated as a result of two revital campaigns, and it practically does not occur at restyling (since 2007) engines.
If the motor with a direct injection, then the problems are added TNVD, gasoline leaks to the oil and failure of the nozzles. The engine compressor with a mechanical drive has a good resource, the failure of the bearings occurs infrequently, but in the event of noise, it is necessary to immediately go to repair. Defective bearings may heat rotors and compressor housing, after which its recovery does not have a special meaning.

The older family of six and eight-cylinder M112 and M113 motors, which was put on restyled "Lupny" W210 were still more interesting, and earned a reputation as very reliable motors. Of course, worse M104, but, apparently, such is the trend - motors.
The feature of the engines are the three-paved head heads and the presence of two spark plugs on the cylinder. And the latter is not always easy to replace even on six-cylinder engines, not to mention V8. Durable chain, reliable timing, reliable piston group Both cast iron sleeves, as well as a simple injection system create prerequisites for trouble-free operation.
The troubles can deliver interruptions in the operation of the ignition system, quickly killing the already weak catalysts, and the leaks of the oil from the heat exchanger gaskets and from the block head gasket due to violations in the operation of the ventilation system of crankcase gases. On old motors, wiring is often damaged motor compartmentBut the engines installed on the W211 are still too young for such defects, it is rather a later W210 problem with the same motors.
The wines of the whole hot temper and features of the Mercedes motors layout. The engine is practically enclosed in a capsule, the most isolated from the engine shield, and a little remains for ventilation.
Variants of the same type of V-shaped motors are several. M112 has options with a working volume of 2.4 liters with a capacity of 170 forces (almost not used on W211), 2.6 liters of 177 forces (E240), 2.8 liters and a capacity of 197 hp (E280), 3.2 l with a capacity of 224 forces (E320).
Eight Cylinder Motors of 5 liters and with a capacity of 296 hp - This is the M113 series. Structurally, they are exactly the same as hexylinders, the pair of cylinders was simply added, the mass has slightly increased and a little more difficult to access the latest engine cylinders. Potentially these motors are the most reliable of all gasoline, established on the E-class of this generation.
Comparatively easy to maintain, with a minimum "children's" problems and expensive spare parts, they regularly carry these cars, possessing a margin and power, and a resource. Probably, it is equally important that cars with them are a good exhaust sound, unlike the noise of the "four" these motors are practically singing! So, if finances allow you to pay tax, this is the best option.
Motors of a newer family M272-M273 replaced the M112-M113 family in the process of restyling, although the first M272 met on dorestayling machines since 2005. It is also constructively close families of V6 and V8 motors. The key difference from the predecessors is the absence of cast iron sleeves. It uses the coating of alusyl, theoretically more durable, but also more fragile - heavily damaged by solid particles, sandbags, soot and even oil naigar. These motors are very sensitive to the "cleanliness" of the work and the state of all systems, especially inlet filters.
Motors are a bit "traditional" and more powerful than the old, they have four valves on the cylinder and only one candle. Unfortunately, the engines of this series turned out to be a real disaster from the point of view of the owners. In the foreseeable past on mass machines The brands did not apply so many unverified technical solutions.
The real misfortune for all owners of cars with M272 and M273 engines has become a low resource of timing chain chains, and especially the wrong drive stars material balanced Vala On six-cylinder engines or simply bypass stars on eight-cylinder. Circuits and star wear products, getting into the oil, could damage the cylindroport group, and the features of the motor assembly required high expenses To solve the problem.
V6 has to be removed from the machine to replace the balancing shaft with a star, the shaft is fixed behind the engine. In V8 there is no such problem, but if, due to wear of the chain, its sedatives were faced, then it will have to remove the heads of the block, as a result, the scope of work is slightly different from the overhaul.
All the problems with the flow of oil from the heat exchanger and from the motor itself are preserved due to damage to the gaskets and poor performance of the crankcase ventilation system, as well as catalysts, and on these motors, the remnants of the scattered catalyst most often damage the cylinder coating, if they are dragging with replacement.
It fails and the intake manifold, in which the axes of plastic dampers are cleared. The price of the part in the collection is large - from 37 thousand rubles for neoriginal and over 50 thousand rubles for Original Mercedes, and components for its repair are not produced, only replacement assembly.
The remaining breakdowns are not so often. But this series of engines pleases a slaughter character, and if you follow the timing and purity of the oil in the crankcase, timely replacement supplies, then in the theory, the resource can be very large.
And these motors are a bit more economical and eco-friendly. ).
A complete list of motors such as: M272 2.5 liter with a capacity of 204 hp On E230, M272 3.0 liter with a capacity of 231 hp On the models E280, M272 3.5 liter with a capacity of 268 A on E350, 272 hp or 305 hp in a CGI version with direct injection in late modifications. The larger V8 M273 on W211 is found only in an option with a volume of 5.5 liters and a capacity of all 388 hp.
Transmissions
The drive of this Mercedes is known to be rear. In extreme cases, a complete (21% of cars). Four-wheel drive There is a permanent, without blocking. The system is very reliable if you monitor the oil level in the bridges and dispensing box. The gearboxes are mainly "automata" of the 722.6 series - the five-speed automatic transmissions of the company's own development.
Mechanical boxes are not many and rarely found, as well as problems with them. But the automatic transmission, despite the overall successfulness of the design, maybe, but mainly due to large mileage and pretty power of motors. The ACAP Series 722.6 appeared on Mercedes in the body of W210, but by the time the W211 was released, its "children's" diseases were mainly corrected. There is no unsuccessful sleeve here, and the solenoids put more reliable.
But software The automatic transmission began to use the incomplete blocking of the hydrotransformer, so it can be found already during runs from 150 thousand on the V6 motors. First of all, the blocking valve suffers, the box begins to "pull" when an incomplete inclusion is attempted, in the limiting cases it is impossible to include "Drive" until the box warms up, the car immediately stalls. First, the twitching is manifested only on cold, but if you run, then soon the car can move except on the evacuator.
Of course, the containers of wear lining are harmful and the rest of the automatic transmission. In general, for the purity of the oil, it is worth carefully monitoring and not to forget to change it every 60,000, despite the manufacturer's assurances in the absence of such a service operation and the lack of even the probe to control its level.
The cost of replacing the oil is not so small. 8 liters required for replacement will cost a minimum of 6 thousand rubles, the price of the filter is from 1.5 thousand, and the cost of work from 3 thousand, and it is better to contact a specialized service that has the necessary equipment. The price of the repairs of the solenoid is already from 6 thousand. Excluding the cost of oil, and the repair usually "places" thousand in 25. But compared with the price of overhaul automatic transmission (from 80 thousand and higher), it is the little things.
Similar problems There are also "running" restyled machines with seven-step automatic transmission 722.9, it is 7G-Tronic, but by virtue of age, the number of resource problems is small. But there are many breakdowns and problems due to the fact that the transmission on W211 was established by the first editions, and the problems that were eliminated in its later versions, a lot of nerves on the old cars can spoil the owner, not to mention the cost of eliminating problems. This box was put on the model E350, E500, E320CDI, E420CDI since 2005 and from 2007 model year Almost all models without a full drive.
Chassis
Explicit weaknesses "ordinary" spring suspension has no. Pneumatic suspension is found not too often, but there is a lot of trouble, the pneuma cylinders do not like dirt and cold, slowly crack, the compressor resource ends, due to repairs, the system seals flow, sensors refuse. The cost of components is very high, the original balloon costs from 60 thousand rubles, and their four pieces are changed by couples.
Electrician
The present thigh for the owners of dorestayling cars has become the SBC brake system. The company abandoned the use of an ordinary vacuum amplifier and applied an ABS unit with built-in BOSCH electric hydraulic pump. Unfortunately, the block resource is finite: the pump electric motor is wearing, the pressure in the hydroaccumulator drops, valves are contaminated. The first problems arose early, the inscription "Check brake system"Appeared on dashboard Some machines are already on the third year of operation. At first, the problem was solved by flashing - they simply changed the number of responses of the system, a million-other was not enough. Then they announced an revocation campaign and replaced the SBC blocks.
Replaced blocks also have a finite resource and a considerable price, a new block costs 180 thousand rubles, and the price of used, but with a reserve on the resource is an average of thousand 60. But it is not enough of him where, specialists are missing, and the area is serious, all This is the brake system, the responsibility is high. Despite two batteries, there are also cases of brake failure due to the power supply. And to slow down the two-tone machine without the help of the brake amplifier is very difficult, be alert.
Unfortunately, the xenon optics fails, the reflectors fade it tritely. He was summed up by Hella, which is a "courteous" headlight supplier. Price new headlights From 60 thousand rubles (magic digit), and the repair of optics is still rare. Against this background, not very reliable compressors climatic Installation And the problems of the usual suspension do not seem to be somewhat significant.
What is in the dry residue? This is a machine that meets modern requirements for active and passive security, in comfort and even prestige has not yet lost. She looks great and rides perfectly. The number of options for complete sets. But the cost of servicing such a car does not correspond to the price by which it bought it. Be prepared for the fact that this is a real Mercedes, not new. Cheaper to keep the car dorestiling with the Motor V6 and the five-speed automatic transmission or anyone with a row "four".
On restyled four-cylinder cars with rear wheel drive There will be no eternal misfortune in the form of SBC, but the "automatic" will be less reliable, although more frustrated. On all-wheel drive resting machines there will be a more reliable five-speed automatic transmission, so if you buy a car younger than 2007, then it is better to choose a version of 4matik, at the same time in winter it will be possible to feel much more relaxed. Traditionally, good diesel engines, especially 2.1, but it will be more a car for a taxi than a prestigious business class, and there is a chance that in my past life she traveled with checkers in Europe or even in Russia. Buy only good cars. Here the little things there is no, the road every little thing.
amp; lt; a href \u003d "http://palldaddy.com/poll/8785051/" amp; gt; what W211 would you buy? Amp; lt; / aamp; gt;
Mercedes -Benz E -Class Series W 211 deserved not the best reputation. But the "rumors" are far from the truth. Of course, each used car has its own specific problems, including W211, especially the first years of release (from 2002 to 2004). However, most defects were eliminated in the period warranty service. Ultimately, after modernization in 2006, the E-screen became perceptibly more reliable.
And yet, what kind of modification is better to buy, in order to avoid problems in the future? First of all, you should exclude from the list viewed version with an 8-cylinder turbodiesel. His choice can be a fatal mistake. But that's not all. It is necessary to know some more important points.
First, you should understand that W 211 is no longer young and intended not for garage storage with departures on the weekend. Among the most age copies there are a lot of those that have already wound up about a million kilometers. To trace the service history of many cars is impossible, and the counter correction is not the most difficult task. So you should not trust odometer.
Secondly, with proper care of the E-class, that with the mileage of a hundred, that three hundred thousand kilometers looks almost the same. Everything works as it should, the engine is well pulling, and the pedals and the handle of the gearbox do not have noticeable traces of wear.
And further. W211 needs regular service. This is not the old Mercedes that worked on vegetable oil and forgive careful maintenance.
Internal finishing materials - very high Quality. It is almost impossible to determine the mileage at the interior state.
However, in comparison with the previous generation, manageability has improved and challenges. However, before the car responds to rotation with the steering wheel, you have to wait some time. And flat chairs, with a rapid change in the direction of movement, allow you to freely hang out the body. But it normal. After all, from Mercedes, no one is waiting for the acute responses of Audi A6 or BMW nervous behavior. Main comfort and sophistication. This is not bad for the optional airmatic pneumatic suspension. However, the car is quite comfortable and on ordinary springs.
Engines
The selection of the engine is determined by two factors: requirements for dynamics and financial opportunities to overcome the burden of operating costs.
Gasoline V6 (from 2.6 to 3.5 liters) received the greatest distribution. E 240/320 (M112) and E 500 (with M113) large runs may demand overhaul. Symptoms - an increase in the oil consumption and the knuckle in the engine. The main reason is the bulbs that appeared as a result of the destruction of the catalyst and entering its small particles into the cylinders. For overhaul, no less than 150,000 rubles will be required. Contract Engine Can be found for 100,000 rubles. The timing chain has to be changed on a segment of 200-300 thousand km.
The 3.5-liter motor with the designation M 272 pretty spoiled nerves by many owners. His Achilles Fifth is the drive of the gas distribution mechanism. The chain is very stretched and damaging the tender steels. If there is a problem, power drops, and noise from the motor increases.
Similar troubles are peculiar to both M271 models 200 kompressor. Depending on the version, it may have a volume of 1.8 or 2.0 liters. The cost of the new timing set is about 10,000 rubles.
Mercedes E 280 CDI with a row 6-cylinder 3,2-liter diesel unit with a capacity of 177 hp, offered from 2004 to 2007. Set here dairy filterwhich brings additional care. E 320 CDI is deprived of a DPF filter, however, has problems with the cooling system.
In 2005, the inline 6-cylinder unit OM648 was replaced by V-shaped with a code designation OM642. At large runs should be ready for expensive repair Injection systems, turbocharger and intake manifold. Inevitably stretching and timing chain. In addition, for early OM642, the turbine damage by fragments of the exhaust manifold is characterized.
You make a big mistake if you eat on the 8-cylinder turbodiesels E 400 CDI and E 420 CDI. Engines have problems with the timing, nozzles are very sensitive to the quality of the fuel, it is premature from building egr. And the turbocharger, whose replacement will be affordable. The Motor of the E 420 CDI model has become more reliable, but completely from the problems did not get rid. In addition, the 8-cylinder unit has a high torque that literally destroys the automatic transmission.
2.2 liter diesel engines (200 CDI and 220 CDI) are quite reliable. With large runs, the problem is delivered by nozzles and pump high pressure. Oil leaks are also found from under the head, and the nozzles "stick", significantly complicates the replacement.
Transmission
Old 5-speed automaton 722.6 From the very beginning, forced to fight oil leaks and a fatal refusal of a torque converter. For repair, automatic transmission has to pay 100-120 thousand rubles.
The box requires regular replacement of the working fluid - every 60,000 km. In cars issued until April 2004, there was a problem of mixing antifreeze with transmission oil due to the defect of the oil radiator.
With the arrival of 7-speed automatic transmission of the 722.9 series, the dynamics has improved, and fuel consumption fell. But new problems appeared. Most often Donimal Mechatronics, especially if the oil has not changed regularly. Manifested itself by the reluctance to move on reduced transmission, error message, transition to emergency mode or even a complete immobilization of the car.
However, mechanical gearboxes set with more weak engines are also not a guarantor of stability. Many of them are already very worn.
In all-wheel drive versions with 4MATIC, crunch and strange sounds should be watched, especially when maneuvering. Before buying a transmission, it is necessary to examine on the subject of oil leaks.
Chassis
When checking the car, special attention is paid to the performance of airmatic pneumatic suspension. In addition to the natural wear of pneumatic elements (35-50 thousand rubles) and the compressor (25 000 rubles), problems with control electronics and sensors are found, which is most characteristic of samples of the first years of release.
Unlike the predecessor, aluminum applied aluminum instead of steel levers. If strength rear levers still satisfactory, then the front russian roads Do not stand for a long time.
Aluminum suspension levers wear out quickly and quite roads in replacement.
Native shock absorbers are rented on a segment of 150-200 thousand km. Original road racks, and analogues will get at a price of 4-6 thousand rubles per piece. By 250-300 thousand km, the springs are often squeezed. The original spring is available for 4,000 rubles, and the analog is 1,500 rubles.
In some cases, after 150-200 thousand km, it may sound or flocked the steering rail. For its bulkhead in the service will be asked about 20-25 thousand rubles. A new rail can be found for 35,000 rubles.
SBC.
One of the ill-fated nodes is an electro-hydraulic brake SENSO TRONIC BRAKE CONTROL. The idea was excellent. The system took care of the cleaning of the "brakes", gently pressed to the discs of the pad, and also leveled the effects of cutting brakes. However, the node is designed for a certain number of braking, after which it requires a replacement.
The end of the SBC resource is evidenced by the inscription in the white color "Service Bremse!". When the message changes the color to red, brakes, theoretically, must be blocked. For a new unit would have to pay more than 100,000 rubles, but some "craftsmen" restore its performance for only 10,000 rubles.
It is worth noting that the presence of the SBC module complicates the replacement brake shoesSince for breeding pistons in calipers need a special diagnostic computer - Star Diagnosis. Fortunately, after restyling in 2006, "E-SHE" received a braking system of classical type.
