Hi, does anyone know where I can find the spec of a 98 300tdi Premium and ES as I've found one for sale and I want to know the difference from the ES and the premium. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks. I've got a 94 300tdi, it's not an ES but has air con, twin elec sun roofs and I've had the ES Elec leather seats fitted (not easy as it's an early 300 with 200 seats) and is good spec but the bodywork is gettin tired so I want a late one. Would love an ES and found a Premium so want to go fully armed before I buy, lol.
Thanks
Andy

Mine has twin air bags and abs and loads of other stuff. Only prob I've had is the airbag light. The garage that does all the work on it has sorted it and says the prob is a connection under the  passanger seat. The guy really knows his stuff and he's comin with me to view the car so i know it'll be ok, just wondered what the difference is. I know 1 difference is the cream leather with piping and the rear arm rest, just wondered what the rest is, lol.
Thanks

Hi,

I have a 300 Tdi 1998 Auto ES premium. It has electric seats, mirrors and windows, full leather upholstry with electric seat warmers in the front, two electric sunroofs (neither of which leek) , 6 cd multichanger, Aircon, cruise control and there's probably more that I've forgotten so please feel free to ask.

It's a lovely vehicle, almost too nice to take off-road, almost!!

Hi Guys.
Well I've been doin my homework and the difference between a Premium and an ES is the Premium has Cream Leather seats with piping other than that they ase the same. Both can have various extras and most were fitted at the dealers and not at the factory. I bought the ultimate discovery buyers guide and it explains everthing, well worth the money. Thanks for all your help.
