they already stopped selling high tech diesel some time back. the truth is

BMW and merc were one of the pioneers on modern high tech diesels, even though highly aware of current low euro 2M diesel quality.

they tried, and failed miserably. during that time jaguar watched and learnt from their failure. merc was really hit with their CDI models, especially E class.

jaguar learnt by bmw/merc mistakes and brought in their turbodiesel XF and XJ, claiming it engineered for malaysia. what i understand is they removed the Diesel Particulate Filter to adapt to local diesels and it was a success. BMW has come back even stronger especially with their 2.0 engine on x1, 3 series and 5 series.

merc is playing with wait and see.


With reference to DPF that's only on the exhaust side like a cat convertor. That doesn't affect the reliability of the fuel system but it does affect the reliability of our environment. hahahaha. smile_big.gif

Yes, you are right, they took off the DPF, emit smoke quiet a bit on hard acceleration but as long as it work, no problem for me, since malaysia have not being too strict on emmission - but they look smoky but are still more envirolmental & friendlier than petrol invisible fumes.

petrol emits carbon monoxide, diesel emits nitrogen oxide.... carbon monoxide is more dangerous to human health
