W210 Back In 2019?

W210 Back In 2019?

I got a new project car! Remember Project : W210 back in 2010? If you an avid reader from the beginning when I started this blog you should probably remember. I took over my family Mercedes Benz E240 (W210) in 2009 and decided to restore the car with some accessories added to it. Unfortunately due to family and business commitment I decided to drop the project and focus on more important things. Fast forward to 2017, the car has been sitting in my parent garage for almost 2 years. From the pictures it looks kinda in a sorry state as it was not even properly maintained but the car is still in great condition despite it being a 20years old car. 114K at that time. It is also the first time I drove a Mercedes Benz and since then I am always a big fan of the 3 point stars! 12K. Now I will make sure to completely restore this car to its formal glory with lots of T.L.C and a little bit of personal touch by me!

It also includes ASR (acceleration skid control) and drive and braking torque control. Start-off Assist, daytime running lamps, height-adjustable seat belts, belt tensioners and belt force limiters for the driver and front passenger, a seat belt reminder and driver airbag all come as standard. Amongst other standard features, the Citan crewbus (with M1 homologation) additionally has a front passenger airbag, thorax sidebags and windowbags for the driver and front passenger. In the panel van, a full partition wall protects the driver and front passenger from loads sliding or tipping over. There are rings in the rear for securing the load. A plastic floor covering and partial trim prevent items with sharp edges from damaging the body in the load compartment. The Mercedes-Benz Citan is instantly recognisable as a Mercedes-Benz thanks to the vehicle鈥檚 characteristic brand look. Providing the brand signature, the chromed star is self-assuredly set against the prominent, robust radiator grille with three sporty perforated louvres.

The Mercedes-Benz Citan鈥檚 bold headlamps and the pronounced V-shape to the bonnet with its clearly defined edges are equally striking. The trapezoidal shape of the air intake in the bumper emphasises width and the powerful impression made by the Citan. Again, this feature is one of the brand鈥檚 typical style elements at the present time, from the latest Mercedes-Benz cars in the compact class through to the new Actros. Also emphasising width, the angular lower edge of the rear window mirrors the line of the vertically mounted tail lights, the detail of the new Citan reflecting the expert hand of Mercedes-Benz designers. On variants with rear-end doors, the numberplate is affixed on the wider, left-hand side of the asymmetric doors. When buyers order their Mercedes-Benz Citan with a tailgate, the numberplate is positioned centrally. The new Citan is a compelling urban delivery van with a unique appearance and fits seamlessly into the portfolio alongside the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Vito vans.

Just as distinctive, the interior of the new Mercedes-Benz Citan is equipped to a high standard. Both the driver and front passenger benefit from equally firm, comfortably padded seats. The form-fitting shape of the backrests in particular provides lateral support, thereby ensuring comfort and safety. Drawing on the brand鈥檚 typical design idiom, the fabric cover on the seats is skin-friendly and breathable, as well as easy to care for and durable. As powerful and striking as the exterior of the new Citan, the instrument panel is designed around the driver. The surface has a leather-like grain for an attractive look and feel. The Citan is all about meeting the challenges faced in day-to-day operations. The choice of engines is broad. Three high-torque, turbodiesel direct-injection engines with outputs from 55 kW (75 hp) to 81 kW (110 hp) and a nippy, supercharged petrol engine generating 84 kW (114 PS) cover all standard requirements. All the diesel engines have a particulate filter as standard.

Five and six-speed transmissions with a joystick gearshift positioned within easy reach on the centre console transmit power to the front wheels. The developers of the Mercedes-Benz Citan have paid particular attention to ensuring that the handling is as expected of the brand, delivering a combination of driving dynamics, agility and ride comfort. The Direct-Steer system is accurate and sensitive, while the suspension, damping and stabiliser bars have been carefully attuned to each other. Whether empty or loaded, the new Citan is a bona fide Mercedes-Benz, offering precision, driving safety and the smooth handling that drivers are accustomed to from the Sprinter and Vito. Outstanding economy is another trademark of the new Citan. In addition to long service intervals of up to 40,000 km or two years, this extends to fuel consumption. Factors here are the economical drive system together with the standard electrohydraulic steering. A gearshift indicator as standard helps drivers of the new Citan to adopt an economical driving style.
