Engine falling out

[RobC270CDI]

Hi all

I am buying a C-Class C270CDI 2004 and have been told these have a problem as the steel is corrosive and engine mounts/subframe rusts to the point engines fall out.

I was under the assumption the Steel was stainless from 2003. Is this scare mongering or does it have some fact?

None of the above..

The engine won't fall out, the steel isn't corrosive, no Mercedes are made with stainless steel...in fact only DeLorean were.
