Was thinking of buying a E250, but having spoken to somebody who works at MB dealership, I'm not so sure now.
He had some very damning things to say of them and advised me to stay clear.
1) Sump is plastic and he's had to replace a number of sumps on customers cars where other garages have over tightened the sump plugs and cracked the plastic.
2) Stretched timing chains (here we go again)...engine out as the chain is on the back of the engine.
3) Plastic water pump, which seems prone to failure.
Any thoughts or experiences of this engine......preferably on higher mileage examples
