Carpoint 300E data

[dieseldude]

Interesting,

Carpoint.com shows that the '92 300E Engine as having "Occasional failures of the Cylinder Head Gasket, the Engine Control Systems Unit (MAS Unit) and the Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA)."

Further down, where rating the Heating and AC systems says: "A periodic problem on this vehicle is failure of the Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor Speed Sensor" It then goes on to explain the changeover to R124 from R12 refrigerant and costs associated.


For the '93?
Nothing but nice, green checks across the board "Infrequent problems reported, all with low repair costs."


This seems exactly the opposite (at least with the Head Gasket) issue) of our experiences here, no? Am I mistaken, or isn't it the common knowledge here the the M103 inline 6 in the '88-'92 was not prone to the headgasket weeping/failure that the M104 V6 ('93-'98) was?

I wonder where some of these places collect their data?
