Germans HATE MB diesels?
Soooo.... what do yall think of this. A friend of mind from Germany PMed me this about diesel G-Wagens
Quote:
Mercedes had trouble with all diesel engines build after 85 (about 85).
The 300TD is a hated engine in Germany , it blows head gaskets.
The non Turbo was OK. After that the diesel engines from MB where POS. The 290GD lasts about 50k miles than its time for a new one , those damm heads always cracks and it loves to eat head gaskets. The 350 is the same POS ! CDI and CRD engines are the biggest crap on earth !! You are happy if you getting 20k miles out of them !! That is not my opinion that is the truth ! Go to a MB dealer in Germany and visit the repair shop ! Or go to a Jeep dealer in Germany (they have theCDI- CRD engines too) They hate those MB diesel engines . Everybody that has something to do with cars in Germany knows never buy an MB diesel. The 200 and 250 are the only engines that last 200k mile no problem. but those thing are super slow ! Oh I forgot the 400 CDI is an electronic nightmare, noboby realy knows how it lasts because they never realy run.
I know this stuff for sure because one of my friends in an Mercedes guy (engineer)and my other friend is an TUV inspector
