The cam sprockets self destruct. these are unheard of in a jap. Edited October 18, 2019 by Mkl22 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree W204 not ideal for COE, I switched from w212 kompressor to w204, immediately felt the diff, drove for 1 yeat I switched back to w212. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

E200 and e250 is ideal, it has much better build then c class, but not over engineered unlike the S class. When driving COE car there is no SES to talk about lah, it is just an old car running on the streets. Edited October 18, 2019 by Ct3833 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The E class also has its usual gearbox issue to content with. Not at the same frequency as a Dry DSG, but has to keep up with the maintenance schedule regulary. But the parts seems to last longer than the usual jap parts for merc if you dont get made in india ... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scion Turbocharged October 19, 2019 Share October 19, 2019 People always look at the higher end of the bell curve and assume that's the norm Eg, every remisier earn big like Peter Lim, or a HDB flat at Bishan can sell for 1m Just because some engineers earn 7/8k at the start doesnt mean all engineers earn that amt Sure, there are outstanding people around, but most people are average and medicore 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far my 4 years of merc ownership has been good , the auto trans of my friend's w211 only failed at 330k km, not too bad. Hope w212 can be as lasting , my mechanic told me the 7G is not a durable, not sure what is the basis of comparison though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
