Diesel Mercedes GL 350 Bluetec To determine but save



You need a luxury SUV, spacious and powerful, Mercedes GL 350 all meet.
Mercedes-Benz has decided to launch large SUVs, luxury and exhibits introduced in North America in 2006 with X164 symbols. Since then, the advent GL cars for the purpose of competition is the first of the Audi Q7 rivals at the time.


Looks great


Even as is "pregnancy", parent company Mercedes-Benz intends to bring this car to the U.S. market. Therefore, this 7 seater SUV models possess a bulky frame, large size to fit the needs and preferences of Americans. Of course, this car is also sold in Europe, but with a negligible amount.


The entire chassis of the car is based on the G-Class the man he was also named king of the terrain. At the GL-Class models are created with the intention of replacing G-Class models by aging but still too many fans to Mercedes-Benz GL-Class decided to separate into a large SUV, class to separate.






All models in the GL-Class cars are identical in appearance and bearing measurements as well as the overall length, width and height respectively: 5.095mm x 1.941mm x 1.840mm, wheelbase 3075 mm. Many people believe that the GL-Class and ML-Class (midsize SUVs) share the design appearance. Because if only a glimpse, both cars have similar features but GL-Class is very much greater. The lines are to the health but still bold and modern combination of sporty alloy wheels 20 inches.


Roomy interior space

Upon entering the space inside the car, feeling for the first time the user is spacious with great panoramic views. Car interior is leather with walnut wood to create a luxurious space. Seats are adjustable function 8 directions with the most comfortable position and can not be gho leg room for those sitting on a bunch of cars. Especially the third row has more advantages compared with rivals such as the BMW X5 or Q7 by more open space so that your feet are still a large space behind the map.
 





If the third row folded down via the power button behind space will increase significantly, the vehicle can accommodate up to two 12,000 BTU air conditioning capacity. If the second row seats folded down notes with volume 2200 liters you can hold an entire kart racing car plus some other accessories. Admittedly Mercedes GL 350 SUV models have a large space.




Table dashboard is pretty good value for this large SUV. The simple but more subtly, towards the very simple but still look plump. At the price for a basic GL 350, you will be provided with a 6 disc CD reader function to read MP3-tailed, two sunroofs for her first seat Tuesday, COMAND control system integration Bluetooth technology is also an SD card slot located on the dashboard.




The car we used was upgraded accessory package Premium Package 2, more expensive than the regular version 5.590 usd should be more support reversing camera, iPod connectivity, 6 disc DVD-CD player with Harman Kardon audio system 5.1 with a total capacity of 610 Wat and other amenities.







Bottom row is the key driver assistance systems such as ESP off, the system supports up and down slopes. Mercedes All are guided through images.




The steering wheel of the Mercedes GL 350 sports a bit strong when the veins appear on the steering wheel and the key integrated multimedia functions. Mercedes watches are thought to be aesthetic and beautiful lines and bring plenty of luxury sports watches such as rpm and speed gauges as two round exhaust of large displacement motorcycles. The main screen between the dashboard will tell us all the information of the vehicle.


Saving engine









Mercedes GL 350 using turbocharged diesel engine with a capacity of 3.0-liter V6 engine with BlueTec. Achieving maximum power at 210 horsepower at 3,800 rpm r / min. Torque 542 Nm at 1,600 rpm r / min. The car weighs nearly 2.4 tons is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km / h in 9.1 seconds. Combined with the 7-speed automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive technology of Mercedes 4MATIC. According to the manufacturer, the vehicle capable of pulling heavy loads up to 3,400 kg.

A number of prominent equipment


Mercedes GL 350 is equipped with some safety equipment such prominent anti-lock braking system ABS, the system electronic brake force distribution EBD, electronic stability system ESP and EBA brake assist decentralization. Automatic system to deal with the situation likely to collide, optimize safety functions. Intelligent Light System ILS allocation light suit driving conditions and weather. Anti-stall system and support up and down the slope.


Driving experience and the ability to impressive fuel consumption


If you are a first time driver of the Mercedes GL 350, the great feeling of the need to "disappear" is understandable. Because you will take a few minutes to look at how to zero in between the two front seats. But it is right and just behind the wheel layout but because of its modest size drive more people to go look. As soon as you release the brake light, the car moved lightly. When sitting inside no one would believe that this is a diesel car by the sound system and the sound of the engine is quite smooth.




On the first minutes of rolling around the city, the brake pedal feel of Mercedes GL 350 has always made me happy because it is not so sensitive that it foot grip. Of course also very light throttle. 3.0L turbocharged move easily in the city, only light strokes pedal wheel car also gentle transition is not jerky. The accelerator pedal a little more I can guarantee the change will speed that you will stick right into the back seat.




All occupants were satisfied that sit comfortably on the seat and leg space to bring. As though the midday heat, the outdoor temperature up to 41 degrees C, but the cars air conditioning to cool quickly.


But control of the city car driver feels very light but not any street Mercedes GL 350 can also easily go through. Especially the old town and finding parking spots for cars in the city is also very hard. Cause all by car looks great. But getting back camera support will help you considerably when backing into a tight parking spots without pilots.


Due to the long distance car use should control lever priority Cuise the turn signal lever in place. Meanwhile maniac turn signal should be located below, so if you do not know its easy to accidentally use this lever between the two.




At the highway, the car has shown its potential ability. Whether its an SUV, but you only need a little gas pedal board damage. 3.0L diesel engine has achieved through maximum torque at 1,600 rpm / min to push the car weighs 2.4 tons instantly glide on the ramp and only takes about 11 seconds we reach the speed 130 km / h. Now the feeling of suspension and drive system 4MATIC all work very well. Everything is flexible and stable levels of body shook very low.


Set cruise control system at 80 km / h, the car immediately reduce speed and the driver was able to stay ngoi.Tiep his right foot to set the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front at 50m, only should be within 50 meters in front of the car alarm system will sound to alert drivers know and brakes. Take the car to 90 km / h and brake pedal, the car is braking on straight trajectories and shorter braking distance and brake feel very good.




At high speed steering feels heavier than bringing safe. At the speed of 60 km / h, even if you put the car into bends can no matter what the car is very good traction, could not you have stayed are even more speed.

The Airmatic suspension system, while the bad roads you can raise additional 307mm chassis car. And if the need is only through a button on the dashboard panel you can also lock the center differential and differential after if you want to try some off-road sensation.

What we all feel is the fuel consumption parameters following vehicle traveling 250 km in city and highway. The number that we get the car moving in the city consumes 16 liters / 100 km is the only highway consumption at 11 liters / 100 km.

If you need a large SUV with 7 seater brand, but powerful diesel engine fuel consumption moderate, roomy interior space, comfort and low emissions, the Mercedes GL 350 is a good choice for your consideration.

Russians are transplanted to the bikes

Tendency to change the four-to two-wheeled transport is observed the last couple of years. And there is nothing surprising in the changing preferences of Russians. The economic crisis and rising petrol prices cause drivers auto irresistible desire to reduce their maintenance costs of transport. A fashion for a healthy lifestyle only offers a solution! Bike it - other than a vehicle that does not require investment funds to replace oil, rubber, etc. Another plus "two-wheeled friend" - he was not afraid of traffic jams! Even the mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, who last March urged Muscovites are not stuck in traffic jams, and change seats on the bikes! Another, an undeniable advantage of a bicycle is a healthy body. Enough, only 45 minutes a day to your figure look toned and slim. Bicycling helps to strengthen leg muscles, burn fat on the thighs, the development of stretch and strengthen the cardiovascular system. All pluses in the face ... just a figure! Limited, in all respects, the Soviet bicycles remained only in memory. Today the choice of cycling for different purposes never ceases to please the customer, as a professional and beginner. Russians simply sweep away from shop fronts various adaptations for cycling. According to some, today in Moscow, the number of holders of two-wheeled transport has reached the number of holders of four-wheeled transport.

How to Take Care Car Radiator

Car Radiator
Car engine ignition system in working with the hot conditions. Combustion of gasoline in the combustion chamber generates heat that will produce mechanical energy to drive the piston and rotate cruck as (crank shaft) and then channeled to the wheels.

The more heat engine, the more efficiently it works. But the heat is limited by the heat resistance of the piston and head are usually made of aluminum or cast iron dai. Most machines today are designed to work optimally at normal working temperature of about 195-2200 F, ideal hot conditions that will generate maximum performance and fuel consumption are ideal.

When experiencing a overheated engine, the first thing that happens is the engine feels ngelitik or coughing, and began to lose power. This is caused by a combination of heat and pressure that exceeds the engine room of our fuel octane. The combination was able to cause severe damage to pistons, piston rings, and rod bearings. Additionally, excess heat and pressure can bend the head, especially those made of aluminum.

What the hell, the cause of overheating? Radiator could be because the content is less, leaks in the radiator and radiator hoses and water-jacket (in the engine cooling water channels) filled with dirt. Thermostat can also be triggered by conditions that do not mebuka maximum cap, water pump does not work optimally, the radiator cap which was ugly then an extra fan to death.

If this happens, check the thermostat. The working principle is to drain the water thermostat at an ideal temperature, 80-90 degrees Celsius. So this thing will open and drain the water to circulate from the engine coolant to the radiator so the engine temperature is optimally maintained.

How to check it out, boil the thermostat until the temperature reaches 80-90 degrees Celsius. When opened, the normal means. But when opening partially or even not open at all, please replace with new.

No harm in seeing conditions thermoswitch. Usually mounted on the radiator. This sensor will work at a temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius and will turn on the extra fan to cool the radiator. If you see any problems, try to boil the water reaches a temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius, Measure its resistance with a multimeter. The resulting figure should be zero which means it works well.

Next, check the extra fan. See if an extra fan to work properly. If necessary replace the fans with extra blades more weeks to get a better cooling effect. Check also if the radiator cap is still in good shape, because the pressure is reduced as a result of a bad radiator cap to suppress boiling point of water cooling.

Water pump works to download Circulate the water from the engine to the radiator, usually the blades on the water pump gradually eroded, until his work was not optimal. After that, check the radiator grille. Objects made of aluminum that serves as a coolant. Make sure that the radiator is not clogged, the radiator can be brought into service to be scraped or cleaned.

Water Jacket is a water channel in the machine that serves to drain the water that will cool the engine. Use a radiator flush to clean the crust that accumulates in the water jacket. (*)

Tips:
  1. Combine the water with the radiator coolant. Could be 50/50 or 70/30 mix of maximum.
  2. Note the sign lights overheating.
  3. Stop the vehicle, parked until normal conditions return.
  4. Do not force run the vehicle if the lights lit overheat.
  5. Never remove the thermostat.
