Performance Horsepower Torque Range: Varies significantly by engine. Typically ranges from ~130 hp for base diesel models to over 340 hp for V8 and AMG variants. Torque figures also vary widely. Specific data would be detailed within the manual. Fuel System Injection Type: Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for gasoline engines, common rail direct injection (CDI) for later diesel engines. Early diesels may use mechanical injection pumps. Engine Management ECU Type: Bosch Motronic or Siemens engine control units (ECUs) depending on engine and model year. Specific diagnostics and programming would be covered. 🔧 Transmission Manual Transmission Available Gearboxes: 5-speed manual transmissions were common. 6-speed manuals were less common but available on certain performance variants or specific markets. Automatic Transmission Available Gearboxes: 4-speed automatic transmissions (e.g., 722.4) for earlier models, and the highly regarded 5-speed '5G-Tronic' (722.6) automatic transmission for most of the W210 production run. Transmission Fluid Fluid Specifications: Automatic transmissions typically require MB-specific ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) such as ATF 3.1, ATF 236.10, or ATF 236.14 depending on the specific gearbox. Manual transmissions use GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Dimensions Length: Approximately 4818 mm (189.7 inches) for sedan, 4850 mm (190.9 inches) for...
