Mercedes E W212 is a classic business sedan. Comfort is at a very high level, the car also has a variety of security and auxiliary systems. More reliable than predecessor.

The E-Class is a very important model for Mercedes: not only excellent sales (probably brings a lot of revenue), but also shows the state of technology of the German manufacturer. There is also a determinant of the quality of the entire brand – in cheaper models, You can not always blame the economy. Previous generations had a lot of problems: W210 is very corroded (in many cases it jeopardizes security), and W211 has in turn been known for the electronics fail, and SBC pumps. What is the W212? Mercedes stressed commitment to improving safety and comfort, but he did not say much about the quality.

Mercedes is a great emphasis on safety – even claimed that it “the safest car in the world”. Did he have a basis for it? I think so. All cars are equipped with the automatic braking system in case of emergency (when the radars detect a risk of collision), Mercedes W212 can also act independently to prevent a collision or to reduce its effects. The headlights are designed so as not to dazzle other drivers, even if the driver forgets to change the world (asistent za svetlo). The range of the headlights is to 300 m!

Of course, Despite a fairly high-quality cars, You can not count on low operating costs. Many activities must be entrusted to specialized workshops with advanced diagnostic equipment. Given this level of complexity, you simply can not count on cheap repairs.

Mercedes is not only beautiful and comfortable, but also very practical. Of course, in this field definitely stands out station wagon with a huge cargo space – 695 l allows not only going on holiday, but also start a small business. Thanks to its pneumatic suspension (the standard version of the rear axle in this version), car is also insensitive to the weight of transported goods.

In addition to the sedan and station wagon, Mercedes E-Class will offer a coupe (C207) and convertible (A207) version. The first of them is presented in the spring 2009. years, while the other – one year later. Their common feature is the basis of design that is different from the sedan and station wagon. Coupe and convertible are created based on the Mercedes C-class, which is produced from 2007. (W series / S204) and also uses some components of this model, mada – as the manufacturer claims – around 60 percent of the parts come from the class E.

Model has been updated at the end of 2012. (market early 2013.) – front of the car was completely redesigned (including new barbecue, druge farove), changes in the cabin and better equipment.

Viewing the Mercedes E-Class engine is hard to understand. Which version you choose depends only on the thickness of your wallet. Before you opt for a particular type should know its potential errors. Most customers choose diesel.

Cars sold in the market dominated by diesel polovnjaka 2.1 CDI. This is not a bad engine, the average fuel consumption is 7 l / 100 km (regardless of the variation of power). At the start of production, poor quality of Delphi's piezo injectors was a well-known problem. Most units had already repaired. Engine increasingly worried about a leak of coolant and spending camshaft. Sometimes whistling turbocharger.

traditionally,, versions of the E-Class has been prepared by Mercedes' tuners, ie. AMG. At first, the V8 engine with atnosferskim charged under the hood. 6.2 l (525 KS), and later 5.5 V8 biturbo version, which is offered in several different versions power – 525, 557, and "S", developing 585 KS. The most powerful variety was a standard 4×4 drive.

The opposite of top-quality varieties – very fast, strong and large consumers – the hybrid version (E 300 BlueTEC HIBRID). The heart of the drive is diesel CDI 2.1 and an electric motor. Total power system 231 KS, as a hybrid class E does not only cost-effective (average fuel consumption 4,1 l / 100 km), but also quite dynamic – "Hundred" in 7,5 seconds.

furthermore, it's hard to be nice, durable construction also 3-liter diesel V6. Of course, with diesel engine 250.000-400.000 km, can be equipment failures occur. Before you buy, check the condition of the particle filter! Beware of the German taxis!

Mercedes E-Class W212 has a standard rear-wheel drive, but is optionally available permanent system size 4 × 4 (4Matic). Between four transmissions to choose: 6-speed manual or 5-, 7- and the 9-degree. In standard versions, how the front, so i on the last vešanju, you will find a multi-link system, optionally also available air system. certainty? Of course at the highest level – Euro NCAP tests judging Mercedes W212 complemented by an assessment 5 star.

E-class has many solids, you can not hear the problem with corrosion, sometimes you have to fight against water leakage in the trunk. Electronics makes no problems, sometimes electric windows and central locking, but you do not have to replace expensive modules, but looking for problems in the system. Xenon lights have a very low lifetime.

Damage to the distribution mechanism 2.1 CDI: noise when starting the engine. Worn camshaft drive chain. It is located on the side of the transfer, which repair seems a bit complicated. Aside from, you need to buy not only a chain, but tensioner, washer nozzle and the sealing of the valve cover.

Damage to the nozzle 2.1 CDI – engine enters the regime of safe operation, switched off while driving. Damage Delphi piezoelectric nozzles – are now less and less. Repair should consist of the replacement of the set , but most often only replaces damaged nozzle.

Irregular sensors for parking, erroneous indications for parking sensors – computer checked behave properly, but in the "working" conditions indications are incorrect. Damage to the module console system – it is not easy to replace as it is on the floor, next to the passenger leg.

Damage to the inverter in the automatic transmission. Especially in the more powerful versions.

Leaking coolant: plastic leaking fuel elements under the filter. The petrol versions of the oil dripping on the catalyst. This is a small gap in the turbo charger.

Chain cases noise of diesel engines, takes about 200 000 km.

If you choose to polovnjak equipped with pneumatic suspension, check the condition of the shock absorbers and compressor.

conclusion

finally Mercedes ponovo u dobroj formi. Gives, ova klasa E je daleko od W123 ili W124, ali u odnosu na i „210“ i „211“ izgleda zaista dobro. Dodatne prednosti su udobnost u vožnji i odlična upravljivost.

Ako se odlučite za pravu verziju motora i pravi menjač, možete biti mirni. S vremena na vreme vam smetaju samo bezopasna elektronika i električne greške. Kupovinom Mercedesa E-klase W212, osim pouzdanosti, dobijate i: natprosečni komfor u vožnji, prostranu i luksuznu unutrašnjost, vrlo bogatu opremu i širok spektar atraktivnih motora. This car is almost perfect. Shortcomings? Discussion on Body style pre restailinga, the high cost of servicing, significant problems in the indicators embedded computers in connection with combustion and management, are not as precise as in the Audi A6 or BMW 5.
