Basically, anything under 2.8litre is a four, and over is a 6 (when talking W124s) Except the 5litre.

isn't the 260 a six pot engine as well?


I thought the only 4 cylinder engines were the 200, 220 and 230, the 200 and 230 were both single cam 8 valve engines whereas the 220 was a twin cam 16 valve lump

Later W124 200s are also twin cam 16-valve, ie M111, same as 220, but smaller bore. Same as in W202 C200.

Open the bonnet and smell the coffee!

I was going to smart here and say "OPEN THE BONNET AND COUNT THE SPARK PLUG/DISTRIBUTER LEADS" but then I realised that MB are gradually working on covering the entire engine with plastic moldings Soon you will find the bonnet/hood will be sealed with the message " No user servicable parts inside, in the unlikely event of a malfunction apply to your nearest service agent" The bean counters at Daimler Chrysler would just love that
