Mercedes-Benz E, 1988, Kajaani

Well-preserved enthusiast Mercedes!

I don't have time or interest in two project cars, so it needs a new home. It needs a little tinkering if you want it perfect, but it's already better than 90% of what's on sale.

New summer tyres on nice 17" wheels and good studded tyres for winter on original 15" wheels. The car is registered as a 5-seat van. The conversion was done as if from the factory.

TT-Thermo 1000 W inline heater. The engine will start and warm up even without the block heater — I once forgot it and it started at −33 °C! :)

Used very little over the last 15 years and driven only approx. 50,000 km in that time. Mileage is supported by inspection receipts.

There is an electrical glitch in the four-wheel drive (probably due to standing). In winter it worked a couple of times when it was −30 °C; I haven't investigated much, but it points to a poor contact somewhere. Also the 4WD warning light only comes on in freezing temperatures when the ignition is turned on. Tested with a known-good control unit and the fault is not in that unit. The cruise control works correctly in winter, but in summer it sometimes acts up and can push the throttle to the floor.

The air-conditioning compressor is disconnected for reason X.

The rear driver's-side window does not open and the prop-shaft support bearing hums while driving. In winter I bought a “new” rear axle from Ovoko as the old one broke, and it is now silent; the rear wheel bearings were replaced at the same time.

Drives well.

Contact details are available on Nettiauto if you want to ask about the car.
