Mercedes E-class, 2016
So, Mercedes E-class E 220, diesel. Black. Black leather interior. There were 2 options - E200 and 150 horses and E220 and 194 horses. I chose the second one. Many will not understand why, but I live where there is a real European winter and -15 here - disaster. Diesel on good gas stations Ours is normal, but the consumption is actually 25-30% less. AdBlue fluid is filled in once every 15,000 kilometers and its presence does not bother you at all. The transmission is a real automatic with 9 speeds. The transmission is the same 7-speed automatic with two high speeds. Salon. Black skin. The inserts on the dashboard and doors are not wood, but aluminum. Compared to the C-class, the interior of the Mercedes E-class is actually wider and the distance between the front and rear seats more. Also, the seats in front and back are a little larger, making it more comfortable to sit. And now about the most important thing - the “goodies”. "The mayor." I wouldn't consider the car without this premium audio system. Having had a bad experience with my previous car, I knew I had to pay for music. Otherwise, I will listen to the radio station from the Soviet yesterday. Team It was possible to abandon it, but Audio 20 is clearly functionally reduced. Two large digital monitors that look like one, unlike the S-Class. LED headlights. They are installed directly in the database. The light is beautiful always and everywhere. 6 - three braking systems - normal, emergency and emergency. The trunk is really large, with the ability to fold down either just the tunnel or all the rear row seats. On the move, the Mercedes E-class is very much reminiscent of the 140th Mercedes, which is considered the standard, in terms of smoothness. It really floats above the road and the sensation of high speed is not felt in the Mercedes E-class, although the speedometer is already 160. It picks up speed like a very fast diesel locomotive - quickly and confidently. At the same time, there is absolutely no shoving of the box. Consumption - at a speed of 140 and above on the autobahn it consumes 5.3 liters per hundred. With a mixed cycle, he eats about 6 liters. In a clean city with its traffic jams - 7 or a little more. Well, very rarely above 7.5 liters per hundred. As a professional driver, I can adequately assess that the car is designed to quickly cover hundreds of kilometers.
Advantages : comfort. Landing. Audio system Burmistr. Lighting.
Flaws : No.

The cost of a Mercedes E-class, taking into account the discount, is 4 million and as much as 8 thousand rubles. The salon caused a “wow effect”. The quality of the optional acoustics (80 thousand rubles) is incomparable, but it doesn’t feel very powerful. Do you want 1.5 kW? Mercedes will be happy to supply them to you for an additional 10,000 euros, but in Russia, as the dealer said, no one has ever ordered this option, even for the S class. Noise insulation is the next level, don't complain. On Lexuses, by the way, the noise from the tires was unnerving at speeds over 80; Mercedes doesn’t allow this to happen. Moreover, if you pay another 100 plus, then the Shumka would be even better and double glass. The dynamics of the car are normal, that’s what I can say, acceleration according to the passport is just over 7 seconds. The only thing is that I would like more active acceleration at speeds over 100. But in the city it’s quite enough. The expense for such a ship is decent. The Mercedes E-class does not provoke me to drive; I only drive economy. You roll for yourself and watch the bustle outside the window. The suspension is excellent (except for the runflat wheels with a low profile), moderately elastic, on Mercedes of older generations it is softer, now they are going the other way, I think it’s better. It “steers” excellently, even compared to the previous generation, much sharper, especially since you can change the steering wheel setting to a more sporty one. The only thing that makes me feel cold inside is sharp potholes on the road, then the body gets hit like a hammer on the fingers. But at least I have 10 fingers, and I have one car, or rather two (the second one is cheaper). Having driven around Europe in a rental Mazda 3 on runflat wheels, I can say that it’s also not a fountain; on excellent European roads it’s also a bit harsh on such tires. Mercedes is more comfortable on our roads.
Advantages : suspension comfort. Convenience of the salon. Ride quality. Design.
Flaws : little things.

Hello. Mercedes E-class W213. At the end of February, after several nights of thought and calculations, I decided to purchase of this car. I myself drive a W212 2011. E200 Sport package, 3,430,000. The choice is obvious to me, since I only like E-shocks in the AMG package. It included: a panoramic roof, lowered suspension, R19 wheels, body kits and a number of others electronic systems. Among the options - white pearl color 114000. Audio system Burmistr 85000. Full power seats 120000. Additional noise insulation measures 110000. I travel a lot on the highway, I decided to try it. The car is very pleasant to drive and drive. So far I like everything. I'll add my feelings later.
Advantages : equipment. Appearance. Excellent handling. Dynamics.
Flaws : price.

You can't write a review after 500 km, so this is just a first impression. It's very good. The “pneuma” of the Mercedes E-class in “comfort” (while running in) is dense, but not oak, it even seems to be trying to float, the joints, trams, police are excellent. But the 20th radius and 30th profile allow you to feel all the small bumps and ice. According to the noise on the arches, it’s 100% a conspiracy. It makes noise like bare metal. Didn't order - listen to the miser. I'll listen, I didn't order it. The rest is silence. Of course, the car is not for winter, so the coming months will only show the exterior and interior. Fortunately, all processes in the graphs are drawn three (at least) times, and there are also a ton of output combinations. So the interesting mosaic will not be boring until spring, and then the asphalt will dry out.
Advantages : wonderful car.
Flaws : sound insulation of arches. The suspension is harsh at the 20th radius.

We spent a very long time choosing a car for our beloved, and once we got into the Mercedes showroom, the choice in favor of the Mercedes E-class was definitely made. The interior of the car is simply gorgeous and attracts the attention of passersby. I can say unequivocally - Sport package for this car it was a must. We went for a test drive in a simpler car - it looks so-so. And when we looked at this model, everything became clear. Now a little more about some of the nuances of the Mercedes E-class. Suspension and smooth ride - that was a surprise for everyone, where the vaunted smooth ride and even the comfort mode do not allow you to enjoy a pleasant ride, of course, maybe the whole problem is in the “runflat” and it was decided to install normal tires in the winter to test this theory, the only bad luck is that you will have to carry spare tire in the trunk. Parking sensors - well, Mercedes can’t make parking convenient. I had to drive a lot in BMWs and Audis, where the work of the parking sensors is very clear and logical, but here everything is different, it beeps and that’s it - then it beeps only when there is absolutely nothing left. Moreover, they asked the dealer to fix it, but they said that this was not possible, and it was definitely not convenient to use the parking assistant. I can say that Burmester acoustics are a positive thing - they are definitely better than BOSE and Harman. Virtual panel - in comparison with other German cars, they approached it with soul, setting up this panel allows you to find the optimal and convenient option. How it was possible not to install a trunk closing button on such an expensive car, I personally don’t understand, this is not a Zhiguli, but a business class car, in one word - a disgrace. The dealer offered to install a power increase unit - this was very captivating. So while the car is pleasing with its appearance, it drives clearly mediocre. Mercedes is a beautiful picture, but in terms of practicality, convenience and driving characteristics clearly inferior to its competitors.
Advantages : beautiful view. Nice salon. Expensive finishing.
Flaws : hard suspension.

Compared to the BMW, the Mercedes E-class is more solid, rich, presentable, organic, and at the same time the most modern and promising in the class (less sporty than the BMW, less technical than the Audi). It is more conducive to enjoying being in the car itself, and measured control, although it gives emotions when driving (a little less drive than a BMW, a little weaker in a straight line from 0 to 100 than an Audi). The inside is more organic, technological, and promising. Chic design, finishing materials (yes, artificial leather compared to Audi, but the difference is not noticeable). Trouble-free 9-speed gearbox (unlike BMW and Audi) and engine (unlike Audi) 4 year warranty (unlike BMW). I'm extremely pleased with the car. Associations are only positive. A sense of proportion and style, emotional pleasure, admiration, satisfaction, delight. All these words are about Mercedes E-class.
Advantages : appearance. Safety. Reliability. Suspension. Noise insulation. Controllability. Comfort. Salon design. Transmission. Build quality. Multimedia.
Flaws : price. Dynamics.

In general, having bought a Mercedes E-class and driven it, this is what I will tell you. I won’t buy a Japanese one again - it’s just an indescribable feeling, I’ve never felt such pleasure from a car. I still want to go somewhere quickly, even if I don’t really need to go there. The interior is just a fairy tale, it makes this car 10 out of 10. At night it’s like you’re driving a spaceship, the dynamic lighting does its job. The seats are comfortable, the on-board computer is simple and clear. The music "Burmister" is fire (there is even better, but the prices are higher). 2 liters of turbo is enough for the city, the acceleration is great. There were cameras all over the city and now I don’t accelerate above 70 at all, and it’s not just me, but the whole city. There is an “active sport” mode - this is when you barely touch the pedals and the car accelerates without delay, but I only drive in comfort. Four-wheel drive It drives confidently through snowdrifts and has never gotten stuck. Control. I don’t even know how to describe it, but you feel the car completely. You can say that you are one with the car, the Camry and the Phoenix, as if there were some kind of troughs after it. The lateral support of the seats helps a lot with this. The car is 19 hard. He really doesn't like rare holes. If you want to remove the hardness, you need to install 17 wheels and you will be happy, but I like 19, I won’t change (I saw that some comrades put 20). There are all sorts of tricks, like you open the trunk with your foot (it’s big, by the way), it parks itself (who needs it), it brakes itself if you’re lazy and you’re flying into someone’s ass. Suction cups on the doors (cool thing). The first maintenance cost only 30 thousand rubles (checking light bulbs 3 thousand rubles, checking air filter 3 thousand rubles. And so on). There is only one thing that infuriates me about the Mercedes E-class - the emergency warning button. It's not possible to get used to it at all.
Advantages : design. Ergonomics and functions. Engine. Suspension.
Flaws : emergency warning button.

The good must be replaced with the best, especially if it is one of the Mercedes-Benz models. And even the quite successful E-class W 211, which defended the honor of the brand in the upper-middle segment, became outdated over time, and in 2009 the company released the new “Eshka”. No one was surprised that it became larger and more comfortable - what shocked us, first of all, was the design concept. The departure from biodesign in favor of chopped forms a la W 124 - not everyone was ready for such a turn of events.
The predecessor of our today's hero, Mercedes in the 211th body, received the main criticism for the clearly decreased quality of workmanship, an increased number of failures and the short service life of a number of components. Many fans of the brand associated this fact with the unsuccessful merger with Chrysler and the technological templates they introduced.
Pictured: Mercedes-Benz E 250 CDI (W212) "2009–12
In particular, the SBC system, which was installed before the model's restyling, was ostracized, as were the quality of engines, the quality of gearboxes after restyling, and the quality of body paint. The criticism seemed to be taken very seriously, but new Mercedes inherited both engines and gearboxes from its ancestor, although in slightly modernized versions.

However, the model had enough advantages. First of all, comfort has been improved through the use of a new active suspension, improved aerodynamics and a new mechatronic interior. In addition, passport requirements and, most importantly, real consumption fuel due to the transition mainly to engines with direct fuel injection, seven-speed automatic transmission, and also reduced aerodynamic drag. Special care was taken about safety: among the options there was a night vision system, radar for emergency braking and cruise control, a blind spot monitoring system, “smart” airbags, and lateral support adjustments. Well, the body, of course, has become even stronger.
The 2013 restyling was remembered by many precisely because one simply wouldn’t dare call it a facelift. The appearance was redesigned very thoroughly: the car received new head optics, and with the help of small touches the appearance was transformed incredibly - from a rough and faceted projectile, the car turned into an example of elegant style with an admixture of hi-tech. The interior has also been refined: it has more color and smooth lines, and also the gloomy gray plastic and massive steering wheel have been abandoned.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 250 (W212) "2013–present" They also worked thoroughly with the technology - the line of gasoline engines was replaced with a new one in 2011, removing the fairly outdated and frankly unsuccessful engines of the M271 and M272 series. After restyling, the five-speed gearboxes of the 722.6 series were almost completely replaced by the seven-speed 722.9, and in 2014, the latest nine-speed gearbox was installed on the E350 BlueTech. LEDs have been installed in the optics, but the night vision system has been removed from the range of options. The model was produced in this form until 2016, when it was replaced by a completely new car in the back of the W 213, which became much more interactive, economical and, perhaps, even more comfortable.

As for reliability, there was no obvious reduction in the number of failures, and the cost of operation even increased, despite, in general, children’s age. I propose to look into this situation in a little more detail.
Body and interior
The oldest cars currently are approaching seven years old. It is still too early to talk about any punctures in the anti-corrosion protection; the cars are painted well, and traces of corrosion can only be found with a very careful inspection. Minimal damage to the joint sealant on the sill and trunk panels with barely visible traces of rust is definitely a bad sign. Such defects occur regularly, but so far they have not caused any particular problems. And most often they are associated with “shock loads” - primarily operation in hot summers, salty winters, diagonal distortions and racing on bad roads.
Obvious corrosion at seams or at the edges of arches and sills is very rare, unless, of course, the car has been in a serious accident with replacement of panels with non-original ones or serious work on straightening damaged elements. By and large, if you notice corrosion, then you don’t have to look at the car any further: these are the consequences of either an accident, or very harsh use; all other problems do not yet manifest themselves at such a young age.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 350 4MATIC (W212) "2013–present" Well, if you are looking far into the future, then look for a car with perfectly intact seam sealant and apply an additional layer of anti-corrosion on the bottom - the protection looks weak, despite the large amount of plastic, and the internal cavities need protection, the experience of past generations of the E-Class says that it is better to do this right away.
It is also recommended to clean the “aquarium” – the niche under the windshield. The drains are small and quickly become contaminated with the remains of leaves - this usually does not threaten the body, but there will be a lot of problems with the electrical part, and it will spill into the interior. Rubber seals dry out after three to five years, and then the interior floor covering will become wet.
The radiator brackets and various small things under the hood will tell you a lot about the operating conditions. On cars that spend the night in a damp underground garage or in a snowdrift on the street, light corrosion will be on many components and fasteners of the “hood” - this is a feature of many new and expensive cars.
A large number of plastic parts on the bottom and their price can play a cruel joke. Even if the metal of the body is impeccable, it takes a while to bring the car into ideal condition You may need a round sum of money. The aerodynamic panels of the engine compartment, fender liners (there was a recall campaign on the front ones) and in general all the lower plastic, including the lining of the suspension arms, are easily damaged. If an M271 series engine, the most common on these cars, is installed, and its oil cup is leaking, then the plastic of the engine compartment is most likely in very poor condition, even on cars produced in 2012-2013.
Peeling chrome, door handles and wiper blades are the problem with cars from Moscow and St. Petersburg; road chemicals quickly kill all decorative coatings.
On a car with a panoramic sunroof, the guides are at risk; they become dirty and creak. If you do not pay attention to this, you can burn the drive motor or break the rollers and levers of the system. And the very first rain will increase the number of problems many times over. By the way, the drainage of a panoramic sunroof gets clogged much faster than a simple one. It is worth blowing out every year and this must be done very carefully - the tubes are attached, to put it mildly, very weakly, they easily fly off when exposed to compressed air, after which you will have to remove the entire hatch mechanism and put the tubes on clamps.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (W212) "2013–present Before restyling, the optics, both front and rear, quickly lose their seal and sweat. And the ignition units for xenon headlights and control units also collect moisture. In general, you need to be very careful when driving through puddles and washing the engine compartment; it is better to use special cleaners rather than water. There are enough electronic units here.

After restyling, the optics have become better; in any case, the headlights are not prone to fogging, but the beautiful “check marks” of the LED lights may go out. Their repair has already been mastered, but most services will offer to replace the entire headlight. Cars with LED low beams have a different problem: “eternal” LEDs actually last only a couple of years; they usually lose their luminosity in the summer, in traffic jams. It is strongly recommended to use only the DRLs in such conditions, and not the neighbors.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 250 CDI AU-spec (W212) "2013–present" Rear led lights Not only do they blind those standing behind in traffic jams, but they also suffer from gradual failure of the LEDs - the reason is usually oxidation of the board and leakage of the flashlight. Officially, it is not dismountable, but a Dremel works wonders, often you just need to replace the power connector inside, and see the price of a new headlight for yourself...

The loss of the washer caps and the breakdown of the nozzles themselves is another flaw; the caps can be considered consumables, and if you install Chinese ones, then a few pieces may go away per month. If the mirrors creak when folding, then carefully inspect the mounting brackets: a crust of oxides on the aluminum will hint that it is advisable to inspect the body again for corrosion.
The car interior is filled with a variety of servos and electronics. There is wiring everywhere, control modules for everything under the sun, and everything is very carefully and intricately assembled. Cars before restyling generally look darker, but the quality of interior materials is basic configurations, oddly enough, is better than restyling, and expensive leather is not always more durable than cheap leatherette of inexpensive versions.

But when driving over “hundreds” both leatherette and leather give in – the driver’s seat begins to become covered with a network of cracks. In general, the quality of the interior is very high: a few unsuccessful elements such as automatic transmission paddles, steering wheel buttons and seat control buttons only emphasize how carefully the rest of the details are made. The only serious disadvantage that can be noted is thermal sensitivity - at low temperatures the interior begins to rattle, especially on restyled models, and the suspension echoes this. Again, cars after 2013, according to reviews, have slightly worse sound insulation, but perhaps this is just more noisy engines the new generation creates a similar effect.

The Command multimedia system fails relatively rarely. Most often, failures are related to the module rear camera, it is connected directly to the “head” of the device and with a CD changer. A few more problems are caused by non-standard firmware with Russification and new navigation for cars from Europe; such software often works unstable.
Too many problems for a relatively new car? But pay attention, “E-shki” are exploited for slaughter. They work both as corporate cars and as “personal cars” for those who drive themselves and do not consider it an expensive limousine.
Electronics and electrical
In addition to the complexity of the problems, there is a minimum. It doesn’t break down very often, but if it does break down... If you don’t light a cigarette, don’t discharge the batteries, and monitor the serviceability of the generator, then all the complex electronic components work stably. Of the serious troubles, we can only remember the piezo injectors and the OM651 engine control unit, this is a 2.2 diesel. The injectors died, the block was changed along with them, but also more a new version The control unit sometimes loses power to the injectors. In general, Delphi electronics did not perform well. After the warranty period, all this is extremely reluctant to change, check when purchasing.
Electronic units in the engine compartment often suffer from leaks, especially the ignition and headlight control units. The keyless entry system is sensitive to strong interference, failures happen too often, and besides, it can simply drain the battery in just a day or two, giving false alarms. Otherwise, you just need to remember that all servos, displays and touch panels have a limited resource, and besides, these things are quite fragile. And those made by Mercedes are also expensive. There are very few machines that, when diagnosed, show a complete absence of errors and malfunctions in the operation of the actuators.
Brakes, suspension and steering
The brake system fully complies with brand standards: high quality all components and excellent work. The short service life of discs and pads is a little alarming, but this is a consequence active work stabilization systems, drying brake discs, and the weight of the car is rather large, under two tons.

The suspensions on the W 212 are famous for their comfort and good mileage; they can withstand almost everything up to a mileage of 70-100 thousand kilometers, even with 18-inch wheels. The secret is that the front is no longer a double wishbone, but a regular MacPherson strut, it is simpler and more reliable. Rear suspension seriously redesigned, and it better withstands a lot of new cars - the old versions of the multi-link were structurally little different from the suspension of cars in the back of the W 201 thirty years ago. But the electronically controlled shock absorbers are stock, which significantly increases costs in case of wear or serious damage, and electronics have a finite resource.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 220 CDI (W212) "2009–12 The air suspension has become noticeably stronger, protection against road dirt has once again been improved, and pipelines and electronics, including all sensors, have become more reliable. The service life of the “pneuma” is more than 150 thousand kilometers, but it should rather be measured in years, because the wear of the elements is largely related to the age of the cylinders.
Pictured: Mercedes-Benz E 350 4MATIC (W212) "2009–12 Electric power steering does not cause problems; it was installed on cars with gasoline engines of the M274, M276 series and some diesel engines. But the pump of a conventional power steering on the M272 and M271 does not differ in service life, which is affected by the high load on the unit when using wide tires. The resource of the rack, steering rods and tips is quite long - the tips and rods need to be checked and replaced closer to one hundred thousand kilometers, and the rack usually with a slight play does not require replacement even at runs of three hundred thousand kilometers. Failures of the Servotronic system (Mercedes calls this “parametric steering", surprisingly, are extremely rare.
Transmission
The mechanical boxes and the transmission itself are extremely reliable, fortunately they have been worked out for years. And even all-wheel drive transmission differs in resource and reliability. Unless the elements front gearbox and the front axle drives can fail over runs of up to hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Transfer case at risk only on all-wheel drive vehicles with a top-end three-liter diesel engine and on AMG versions.
WITH automatic transmissions everything is a little more complicated. Until 2011, most four-cylinder cars were equipped with an old and very reliable five-speed gearbox 722.6 series, long established and improved. By the way, the latest firmware for this unit dates back to 2014, with them the wear of the gas turbine linings is slightly reduced due to the less active operation of the “cold” blocking and an increase in the “adaptability” margin. By modern standards, it is a very reliable unit, with a service life of the mechanics and hydraulic unit of about 250-300 thousand kilometers, without “childish problems”. With timely replacement of the gas turbine engine blocking lining at mileages of 150-200 thousand kilometers and frequent replacement oil does not cause much trouble until the main clutches, bushings and planetary gears wear out. On E200 versions this automatic transmission can be found until 2013.
The automatic transmission of the 722.9 series, also known as 7G-tronic, which has been installed on six-cylinder versions of cars since 2009 and on other cars since 2011, cannot boast of such refinement and problem-free operation. The main difficulties were eliminated on the restyled W 211, but the W 212 also had its fair share of problems. And the first versions of 7Gtronic +, optimized for start-stop modes, also added failures. Failures of hydraulic units, wiring and overheating plague the boxes to this day. And, perhaps, this automatic transmission is one of the most serious shortcomings of post-restyling cars.
However, it, of course, has advantages: the fuel consumption of cars with a seven-speed automatic transmission is surprisingly low - in combination with gasoline “fours”, the average can be less than eight liters, and with the diesel OM651 – even less than six liters. It is highly recommended to change the oil every 30-40 thousand kilometers and install an external automatic transmission radiator, as well as remove the box thermostat.
Since 2014, BlueTech diesel models have also been equipped with a nine-speed 9G-tronic automatic transmission. Again, many “childish problems” were revealed, but at the moment they are being fixed under warranty, and there are almost no problems with overheating on diesel engines. With such an automatic transmission, fuel consumption is slightly reduced. In “highway” modes, diesel consumption drops below three liters per hundred, and this is for a two-ton car.
Engines
Pre-styling engines are mainly the “hit” of recent years in the form of the 1.8-liter M271 Evo engine with a compressor, as well as engines of the M272 series. By the time the W 212 was launched, most of the engine problems had been eliminated, although the M271 still has a low timing chain and sprocket life, and the M272 still periodically wears out the intake manifold and lifts the cylinders.
All engines of this generation too often suffer from oil leaks: on the M271, an unsuccessful “cup” of the filter is leaking, and on the M272, the heat exchanger is also leaking. Take a look at the list of problems with these motors: essentially, the difficulties are the same, but the age of the cars is less. But given the well-functioning design, serious problems arise only if all warnings are persistently ignored.
Under the hood of Mercedes-Benz E 200 NGT (W212) "2011–12 The main problem of the M272 - the short life of the timing chain - has receded. Motors of later years of production have a service life of this unit on average of about 200 thousand kilometers, and besides, the chain rarely jumps right away. On the M271, you need to keep an eye on the chain; it often stretches and jumps when running less than 100 thousand kilometers, but again, it warns of wear in advance with a specific noise. Since runs beyond 200 thousand kilometers are not yet very common, there are few complaints about these engines, and they are mainly associated with the M271. Motors of the M273 series are much less common, but essentially do not differ from the M272 in operation, except that cylinder scuffing can be found noticeably more often on them.
There are a lot of diesel engines of the OM651 series in various versions of boost and power supply. Until 2011, units were supplied with piezo injectors, which were prone to leaks and failures. This often led to water hammer and burnout of the pistons. Only the younger version of the engine, which was equipped with conventional injectors, avoided the problem. As part of the recall campaign, the injectors on all engines after 2011 were changed to electromagnetic ones, and the injection control unit was also changed.
Timing chain cost
Price for original:
10,499 rubles
The design of the engine is quite complex, it has many points that require attention, but the workmanship is very good, and in most cases, failures occur due to the fault of fuel equipment, intake manifold flaps, thermostat, EGR valve, particulate filter and sensors.
By the mileage of 200-250 thousand kilometers, the turbine usually dies. At approximately the same mileage, the timing mechanism needs to be replaced. Another unpleasant feature of the engine is the tendency for the injectors to “stick”. Specialized services usually know how to deal with this scourge, but owners still recommend preventive removal and cleaning at least once a year. Little things like failures of the overrunning clutch and APC valve almost never occur on cars with low mileage.
Diesel V 6 series OM642 are considered one of the most reliable from Mercedes-Benz in recent years. Very durable, with very reliable fuel equipment - it is deservedly appreciated by those who want power and stability. The problems are mostly purely and nothing more.
New engines began to appear on cars after 2011. There are significantly fewer reviews for them, but a number of patterns can be identified.
The M276 series engines that replaced the M272 do not have problems with the piston group and manifolds, but there was already a recall campaign on the timing belt - the dampers and hydraulic chain tensioners were changed, and at low mileage the chains jumped. The engines 276.8 with serial number up to 276.8xx 30 001280 and 276.9 with serial number up to 276.9xx 30 406602 were recalled. In addition, the oil pump pressure is too low, and cases of damage to the liners and crankshaft are common. Piezo injectors also perform poorly on these engines, but for now they are being replaced as part of warranty repairs.
The in-line fours of the M274 series received an aluminum block, a delicate piston group and turbocharging. The E-class was equipped with only a 2.0-liter version in two boost levels. The engine has performed well so far, but there are cases of scuffing piston group There are cases where the motor does not tolerate the slightest overheating very well, and is also sometimes prone to “oil burning” in very early childhood.
What to choose?
The cost of operating premium business class cars has increased significantly over the past ten years, and you need to get used to it. You wanted fuel consumption like Solaris and dynamics like 911? You will receive it, but you will still have to pay – not for fuel, but for repairs and maintenance. Now these cars, for the most part, delight their owners. They are solidly made, but they have a lot of components with a limited service life and obvious pitfalls like chains on the M271 and the 7G-tronic automatic transmission. All of them can cause a lot of trouble even for the most zealous car owners if the “factory” maintenance intervals are observed.
In the photo: Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (W212) "2009–11 WITH diesel engine The E-Class can even claim to be a very economical car to operate, especially if your mileage is long and the roads are smooth. Comfort and safety are undoubtedly among the best features of the model; here it is head and shoulders above any new car, which can be purchased for comparable amounts, and believe me, no “strong” “Japanese” can compare with it.
But there will definitely be expenses - small at first, large later, and how much of it will go to your wallet is difficult to predict.
