Any solids in the hole will be compressed at the base of the drilling when the bolt is tightened and can cause cracking or worse - bursting through into the water jacket of the cylinder head (really easily done) so clean that hole with an air-line or blow gun until you are sure it’s clear. Removing the coolant reservoir cap on a warm engine could cause the cap to fly off at a high rate of speed and fluid to spray out of the reservoir. Its 3.0 litre five-cylinder diesel engine with indirect injection (using a Bosch MW for the American market, or W for the rest of the world) piston-type mechanical fuel injection pump, produced 80 to 88 hp (59 to 65 kW), depending on the year or country. Control functions can be activated using voice control, buttons on the steering wheel or through the touchscreen display. Standard on the Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI and GL450 include air conditioning w/ dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/ radio controls, cruise control, heated 8-way power front seats, 6-disc CD changer, outside-temperature indicator, and universal garage door opener. Highlights include strong cooled seats, massage seat features, and, of course, Airscarf, which blows warmed air onto your neck on cool mornings.
If you opt for the long-wheelbase Sprinter, you get some six feet of load length behind its rearmost seat.

That belt driven motorcycle (actually a four-wheeler as it had two eight-inch diameter outrigger wheels to keep it stable when at a standstill) was the forerunner of all automobiles.Gottlieb Daimler was the first man to harness with any true degree of success a combustion engine into a road vehicle. In 1885 the townspeople of Cannstatt, Germany, were startled to see Paul Daimler, son of Gottlieb Daimler, roll away from No.14 Taubenheimstrasse on a wooden-spoked two-wheeler powered by a fraction of a horsepower four-cycle internal combustion engine. He purchased controlling stock interest in Daimler in the early 1890's and put nearly unlimited funds at the disposal of Gottlieb and Daimler's two sons, Paul and Adolph.
Granted there were horseless vehicle predecessors to Daimler's motorcycle but Daimler's was the first recognized internal combustion vehicle and the first to incorporate a practical transmission system. Daimler's first four-wheeler, a Victoria-type motor driven carriage, was built in 1866. By 1890 demands for Daimler's engine made expansion necessary and a corporation was formed, the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. The first Mercedes-Benz 300D automobile (not to be confused with the 300d) was introduced in 1975 (U.S.) and started its life by placing the newly developed 3.0 litre five-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine 617.910 in a W115 chassis four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz 240D diesel. The W123 chassis of the Mercedes-Benz 300D was introduced as a 1976 model (1977 U.S.). In place of the arcane setup from yesteryear, is an available 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment display along with a modernized steering wheel and gauge cluster that feels as though it has propelled the Sprinter a decade ahead in only a single model year. The particular Sprinter Crew gets under way roughly $45,000, whilst the Traveler model begins close to $48,000. This model features an extra 600 cm³ displacement compared to the four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz 240D diesel.
A particular highlight of the integrated communication is the new key visual for the international fashion activities of Mercedes-Benz, which was used for the first time during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin in January 2010. British fashion photographer Nick Knight, together with designer Gareth Pugh, has captured the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and top model Julia Stegner in some spectacular shots. The car was designed for the American market, which is shown by its large size, making it the only similarly-sized rival up against Audi's Q7, along with the redesigned BMW X5, as well as a facelifted Volvo XC90 by that time. From that time on the Daimler Mercedes and later (after 1926) the Mercedes-Benz were to gain continuing prestige through their high-speed performance. Production of Mercedes-Benz rose to 7,918 Mercedes-Benz automobiles in 1927. The Mercedes-Benz diesel truck was put into production in 1927, also. Jellinek, controller of the Daimler plant, and father of the young lady for whom the 1900 luxury four-wheeler was named, was so obsessed with his interest in high-speed automobiles that for nearly' five years he held exclusive rights to the bulk of the Mercedes production and carefully limited the sale of the cars to individuals of known influence.
Over the last year, people have complained about the GL-Class's limited standard features compared to more upscale competitors such as the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover Sport. Jellinek's own international reputation as a sportsman and his careful selection of purchasers of the limited number of Mercedes available placed the cars with an upper-bracket clientele which, nearly as much as the car's own intrinsic superior engineering and design, gave the Mercedes it's reputation as a quality and high performance product. For the American market those cars only came with power windows and automatic transmission. Following this moment, the German constructor will mark the world premiere of the luxury cabriolet at the North American International Auto Show at Detroit in January 2012, planning the market launch shortly after the European Geneva Motor Show in March. Mercedes-Benz introduced its BlueTec diesel system to the GL-Class at the 2006 North American International Auto Show as the GL 320 Bluetec. The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (code name X164) is a full-size crossover SUV built by the German carmaker Mercedes-Benz since 2006. The GL-Class debuted at the 2006 North American International Auto Show.
