Still unique among the safety assistant systems on the Actros is the Active Brake Assist. The new SLK can be optionally equipped with the Lighting Package which provides active and cornering light functions. This not only ensures an unmistakable nighttime design, but also enables LEDs to shine with different intensities in specific areas of the tail light cluster, depending on their lighting function. LED technology has other advantages: compared to conventional bulbs they light up around 0.15 seconds faster, and also have a considerably longer operating life. The Mercedes-Benz SLK350 is equipped with horizontally arranged LED daytime running lamps with four LEDs. By the way, 12 years later and that truck is still running like a champ! The four vans assembled here include the recently revised Fiat Ducato, all-new Ford Transit, updated Renault Master and the best-seller (for 17 years straight in Australia!), the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Behind the iconic face is the heart of the Sprinter exercise, a 3.0-liter V6 Bluetec diesel providing 188 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque while meeting the strict emission standards set by the EPA and the California Air Resources Board. Cons: Unreliable from day one turbo failure, glow plug failure,fuel pump failure, ECM failureat 119000 miles when we got our first $3300 repair bill (ECM) we scuttled the piece of junk, in 2007 the EPA made diesel emissions have a seriously upgraded system called a DPF filterthis made everything more complicated Product Description Mercedes Sprinter Van DPF Delete Pipe - 2010-2018. Since the stock turbo resonator is known to fail under high loads, many replace them before they break.
He did well in Q1 and Q2, scoring all the range of positions, from the 1st one up to the 9th one;his last chance to deliver a good impression was in Q3, but Heikki was not as quick as he must have been-so, he will start the tomorrow's from the 7th position on the grid, behind one of his Ferrari opponents, Felipe Massa. These now have a larger adjustment range of 40 degrees with reference to the crankshaft. Extended high-roof models powered by the diesel V-6 have payloads ranging from 3605 pounds for the 2500 model to 6206 pounds for the 4500. The 3500XD models can haul a maximum of 5404 pounds, while the Sprinter 2500 passenger maxes out at 3441 pounds. Mercedes-Benz cars have scooped triple honours at this year’s prestigious TopGear Magazine Awards. And as to visibility out front, the windshield adopts the “Wet Wiper System” windshield wipers that, as on cars like the SL-Class, spray washer fluid from the wiper blades, rather than nozzles on the windshield, so the view forward is obscured for less time.
With a response time of just 0.1 milliseconds, the fuel injection can be very sensitively and precisely adjusted to the current load and engine speed, with a beneficial effect on emissions, fuel consumption and combustion noise. The wide tail lights of the new SLK feature full-LED technology for the first time. Following the first spark discharge and a brief combustion period, the coil is rapidly recharged and a second spark is discharged. First prototypes hit streets back in June 2009 and now, for the second time, the cars encounter the wintry conditions once again. The first generation W202 C-Class was introduced in 1993, as a replacement for the Mercedes-Benz W201 (190), and proved successful among high-end car buyers. In the A6 Allroad, there's also increased ground clearance (7.3 inches at maximum height) and adaptive air suspension with self-levelling, providing buyers with an alternative to the ubiquitous crossover SUV. For this reason the installation space on the longitudinal and vertical axes of the engine was able to be reduced by around 0.6 inches.
The six-cylinder engine is part of the new V6 family of efficient direct injection engines. Multi-spark ignition and third-generation spray-guided direct fuel injection system with piezo-electric injectors that offer more fuel savings through a homogenous combustion process with a considerably extended characteristic map and fuel-efficient lean-burn technology. Its fuel consumption is estimated at 20 city/29 hwy mpg thanks to its 3rd-generation direct injection, piezo injectors and multi-spark ignition. New piezo-electric injectors allow up to five injections per intake stroke for the best possible mixture formation. Mercedes-Benz engineers modified the variable, hydraulic vane-type camshaft adjusters for the intake and exhaust sides by using the basic architecture of the preceding engine. 3,498 cubic-centimeter displacement, using this power to accelerate in 5.4 (est.) seconds from 0 to 60 mph (top speed 155 mph). Power consumption by auxiliary units has been reduced. Known as BlueDIRECT, this innovation establishes the V-engines from Mercedes-Benz as worldwide benchmarks and makes a further reduction in fuel consumption by 20 percent possible by engine modifications alone. Fuel consumption can be reduced by roughly two percent this way. Engineers were also able to improve the functionality, achieving a 35 percent greater adjustment speed and adjustability at an oil pressure as low as 5.8 psi.
Fuel savings of up to 4 percent are possible alone by the use of piezo-electric injection technology in combination with multi-spark ignition, depending on the driving cycle. With the F-CELL World Drive, Mercedes-Benz is aiming to confirm the technical maturity of fuel cell technology, as well as the suitability for everyday use of the vehicles. The exhaust systems for the SLK were developed to meet the ULEV exhaust emission standards as well as noise emission standards. The emission control system for the V6 gasoline engine has a firewall catalytic converter for the right and left cylinder banks. The 2012 SLK350 is powered by a redesigned direct-injection V6 engine developing 302 hp/273 lb-ft. Launching later on in the model year, the SLK250 goes on-sale with a turbocharged four-cylinder direct-injection engine developing 201 hp/229 lb-ft of torque from a displacement of 1,796 cubic centimeters. The exhaust system for the 4-cylinder engine consists of a firewall catalytic converter, a center muffler and two rear mufflers.
