    A question for anyone working on mercs.

    Did mercedes sort the cam chain issues in the W204 C180, or is the M271 the same lump in a different dress?
    They've been around long enough now to say yay or nay.

    I haven't heard of any W204's having chain issues. Seen a few of them with 80,000+ miles. Usually they were going around that on the older ones. I'm not aware of any mods which they have put into place but I would assume there's been some.

    The MB UK forums are rife with warnings etc on this as it hasn't changed since the w203 - single link chain prone to stretching and eventually slipping or snapping. Same with the c200.

    Really? I did a search on MB UK. I couldn't find any mention.
