MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class Engines

The C-Class was the only Mercedes-Benz with a complete lineup of multi-valve engines built for the C-Class range of cars. The new family of in-line four cylinder petrol engine units was coded M111 and debuted in the C 180. In 1996 the C 220 was replaced by the C 230 which was enlarged to a 2.3 litre displacement. The C 280 was the high end model of the class, with a 24-valve-cylinder-head and straight 6 cylinder engine. Four-cylinder diesel models were equipped with the same ON601 engine of the 190, in the 2.0 L and 2.2 L versions. The turbodiesel was introduced in 1995 and is one of the novelties in the engine range available.

The best engines to date have been the supercharged version of the M111 straight four, the C 230 Kompressor, using a Roots Supercharger. The in-line six cylinder engines were replaced by a family of V6 engines on the M112 units. The new engines featured SOHC heads instead of the previous DOHC, three valves per cylinder instead of four, that developed more torque and twin spark plugs. In the last four years of production, the W202 series received a few changes in the choices of engine. At the launch all W202 variants were equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox and were later equipped with automatic transmissions that were available in four speed and five speed combos.In 1995 the C-Class received its first genuine performance motor called the C36 AMG which had engine output figures of 206 Kw and 276 HP at 5750 RPM and 385 N.m of torque.

In 1997 AMG developed and released the C43 AMG powered by a 4.3 litre V8 which developed 225Kw and 302 HP with a torque curve of 410 N.m at 3250 RPM. This was the first C-Class to be fitted with a V8 engine.

Herewith are the Mercedes-Benz C-Class models, engine capacities, engine codes and engine output of each motor.

MERCEDES-BENZ Vehicle Manufacturer

Mercedes-Benz is a German vehicle manufacturer of automobiles, buses, and trucks. The name first appeared in 1926 but traces its origins to Karl Benz who created the his first petrol powered car, the Benz Motorwagen in 1886. As part of the Daimler company, the Mercedes-Benz Cars division includes Mercedes-Benz, Smart and Maybach car production, luxury cars are also produced by Daimler.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks is now part of the Daimler Trucks division, and includes companies that were part of the DaimlerChrysler merger. Gottlieb Daimler sold the world's first truck in 1886. Until 1994, Mercedes-Benz used an alphanumeric system for categorising their vehicles, consisting of a number sequence approximately equal to the engine's displacement in liters multiplied by 100, followed by an arrangement of alphabetical suffixes indicating body style and engine type.

  • "C" indicates a coupe or cabriolet body style.
  • "D" means the vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine.
  • "E" (for "Einspritzen") means the vehicle's engine is equipped with petrolfuel injection.
  • In most cases (the 600 limousine being the exception), if neither "E" or "D" is present, the vehicle has a petrol engine with a carburettor.
  • "G" denotes the off-road vehicle.
  • "K" was used in the 1930s, indicating a supercharger ("Kompressor") equipped engine.
  • "L" means "Leicht" (lightweight) for sporting models, and "Lang" (long-wheelbase) for sedan models.
  • "R" stands for "Rennen" (racing), used for racing cars
  • "S" means "Sport" for high-performance models or "Special" for flagship models.
  • "T" stands for "Touring" and indicates an estate (or station wagon) body style.
  • "4MATIC" means the vehicle is equipped with all wheel drive.
  • "BlueTEC" indicates a diesel engine with a catalytic converter exhaust aftertreatment.
  • "BlueEFFICIENCY" indicates special fuel economy features (direct injection, start stop system, aerodynamic modifications, etc.)
  • "CGI" (Charged Gasoline Injection) indicates direct fuel injection.
  • "CDI" (Common-rail Direct Injection) indicates a common rail diesel engine.
  • "Hybrid" indicates a gasoline- or diesel-electric hybrid.
  • "NGT" indicates a natural gas fueled engine.
  • "Kompressor" indicates a supercharged engine.
  • "Turbo" indicates a turbocharged engine, only used on A-, B-,Е- and GLK-Class models.

At the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz showed seven hybrid models, including the F700concept car, powered by a hybrid-electric drive-train featuring the DiesOtto engine. Each car features a different powertrain - battery-electric, fuel-cell electric, and gasoline-electric hybrid. Since 2002, Mercedes-Benz has developed the F-Cell fuel cell vehicle. The current version, based on the B-Class, has an acclaimed 400 kilometer range, with volume vehicle production scheduled to begin in 2014. Last year In mid 2010, production commenced on the Vito E Cell all-electric van.

Over the years Mercedes Racing was a stern competitor in the motorsport front. On several occasions Mercedes-Benz has withdrawn completely from motorsport for a significant periods. In the late 1930s, and after the1955 LeMans Disaster, where a Mercedes SLR 300  collided with another car and killed more than 80 spectators Mercedes-Benz was absent from motor racing almost entirelty. It was not until 1987 that Mercedes-Benz returned to front line competition of racing by returning to Le Mans, and to Formula 1 with the Sauber racing team. The 1990s saw Mercedes-Benz purchase British engine builder Ilmor now Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines.

TOYOTA Motor Corporation

Toyota Motor Corporation  and in the Japanese translation: トヨタ自動車株式会社  which stands for: Toyota Jidōsha, the founder of Toyota in 1937. In 2010, Toyota Motor Corporation employed 317,734 people worldwide and was the world's largest manufacturer of motor vehicles. The Toyota Motor Corp’s head quarters are in Japan. Toyota Motor Corporation group of companies include: Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu, and Hino. Worldwide sales of hybrid vehicles produced by Toyota reached 1 million vehicles by May 31, 2007 and hit all time hybrid sales led by the Toyota Prius with worldwide sales of 1.43 million by August 2009.  Toyota's CEO has committed to eventually making every car of the company a hybrid vehicle in efforts to demonstrate its devotion to reducing global warming effects.

Toyota has long been recognized as an industry leader in manufacturing and production. The Toyota Motor Company received its first Japanese Quality Control Award in 1980 and began its long standing legacy in participating in a wide variety of motorsports.

The worldwide ranking of automakers is compiled once per year by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers OICA. In 2010, the Toyota Motor Corporation ranked first on the list with 8.6 million units produced globally in all of it’s production factories.

Toyota, Nissan Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Corp. began building plants in the US by the early eighties due to America implementing stringent new laws and taxes pertaining to imports of certain vehicles in the mid 60’s. Two years later, Toyota entered into a joint venture with American giant General Motors.

In 1984 the new factory was replaced  by an old General Motors plant that had been closed for two years. Toyota then started to establish new brands at the end of the 1980’s, with the launch of their luxury Lexus division in 1989. In the 1990s, Toyota began to branch out from producing mostly compact cars by adding many larger and more luxurious vehicles to its lineups.

Toyota have almost halved the cost of electric hybrids and see the reduction of production  cost as  a future goal, making it possible for every family to own at least one hybrid vehicle. Toyota also began production of the world's best-selling hybrid car, the Prius in the year 1997.

In 1999 Toyota set up a base in the United Kingdom, (TMUK), as the company's cars had become very popular in the British market.

In 2002, Toyota managed to enter a Formula One Racing works team.

The company was number one in global automobile sales for the first quarter of 2008. It displaced GM and became the world's largest automobile maker for the year 2008.

In 2007, Toyota released an update of its full size family LDV, theTundra which was produced in two American factories, one in Texas and one in Indiana.

Toyota has manufacturing or assembling plants globally for local markets with the growing needs approach. Toyota has manufacturing or assembly plants in Japan, Australia, India, Sri Lanka, Canada, Indonesia, Poland, South Africa, Turkey, Colombia, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Brazil, Portugal, and more recently, Argentina, Czech Republic, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, Pakistan, Egypt, China, Vietnam, Venezuela, the Philippines, and Russia.

Eco-Friendly Auto Scrapyards

The terminology may be confusing, because an eco-friendly scrapyard is and was usually a yard where scrap metal is dumped. In the early to mid 1900’s scrapyards were a place to dump heaps of scrap metals including any vehicle that was considered unserviceable and left to rust away. These old car and truck metal dumping grounds soon became a common place for not only scrap metal but also a place for off loading cars, bakkie & trucks and any other vehicles that had been involved in a road accident or simply unfit for road use due to severe mechanical breakdown .

These metal dumping grounds retained the title “Scrapyards” though modern motorized vehicles were added to the scrap metal list and many of these scrapyard establishments developed into a hives of dismantler yards where the cars and trucks were stripped of all parts of value and sold, leaving the damaged body shell and other unusable spare parts for the scrap-metal dealers to salvage and recycle back into solid bars of steel, piping and other forms of steel products etc.

Today we stand at a point of no return, where our fragile green planet is under siege due to the human race, that has not only damaged the earth in a record breaking 100 years, but has progressed it to the stage where global warming is causing our polar ice caps to melt. If this process is not significantly reversed within the next 20 years, the human race will begin to self destruct at an alarming rate. In short we have dismally failed to control the pollution of our eco system.

Eco-Friendly Auto Scrap Yards for recycling and used car parts and truck parts. Auto Scrapyards are the most efficient recycling businesses worldwide today. Every scrapped automotive part recycled must remind us to keep our sights set on global warming and the scarpyards should be used as the number one example to make people sit up and take note of how important it is to control pollution in all departments and appreciate that our planet Earth is all that God gave to us.

Take global warming seriously by supporting your local Scrapyards and spread the word in a hope that we can all come to our senses and use every last resort to save our planet earth, as do the people working in the auto scrap yard industry.  Be wise and recycle your parts the best you can.
