never once heard of gearbox, engine, ecu or some weird weird expensive wallet burning issues :thumbsup:


Bro,

the issues highlighted are the ones that I actually know of and have supporting facts, receipts or real life incidents. Hence there may be more that i do not know of. If you do, please share with everyone and enlighten me too...thanks!

Cheers

yeah, that's why i commented only minor issues, unlike some other makes with gearbox and big item problems, which can be scary for the pocket, not to mention also troublesome trips to the workshop.

i'm also planning to buy one some time in the future. :cool:

My '06 W211 (~123K mileage) starts to show these signs :

- when stationary move the steering full left and then full right.. can hear the squeaky sound,

- 'squezz' sound from front left.

Is it time to replace the under carriage ?

Not bad...almost 8yrs still only 123k mileage. Must be well taken care of :thumbsup: . My W212 is coming to 4 yrs (this April) already travelled 108k...don't ask me how I drive :1embarassed:

Have you ever change your engine mountings? Not sure what you meant by replacing under carriage...if you worry that you may kena slaughtered by C&C...you can try going to Auto Spritze or Chip Soon (closed for CNY till 8/Feb) for a check and quote beforehand.

Good luck... :fingersx:

Has served me well, just some wear and tear items to take care.
