My dad is thinking about buying a W210 E-Class estate. He wants a diesel but isn't sure which engine to go for the earlier 24v inline 6 DT or the later V6 CDi? I didn't even know the V6 existed untill tonight when he asked what I thought! What do you guys think?   |

pre-cdi can still run chippy oil/heating oil/proper Kerosene and probably Jet-A.
CDI engines are fussier about their fuels.

a month or so ago I was looking at getting a 210 wagon, so I consulted perm. for a number of reason which I cant remember he advised me against getting one. I was looking at 2.4 V6 petrols. currently looking for a '95 on 124 wagon. proving quite difficult to find one that ticks all my boxes.  |

Don't know about the V6s, but my dad had a W210 320CDi with the straight six in it and it was an awesome car.
However, they rust though: I know of cars that have had every external panel except the roof replaced. His had to have four door tops and a tailgate done under warranty, so the car was about 2 or 3 at the time.
Apparently they rust underneath too.
