m271

It looks like I'll be keeping the C Class for the foreseeable and might be joining the high mileage club that some of you enjoy! My car has done 75,000 miles with no issues and is properly serviced outside of dealership network. So the question is what will fail, what causes breakdowns (I've...

Hi, I've recently bought a 2003 230 kompressor with 41 k on the clock, and it seems i have a problem. On tickover and in the"Park" position (but not in "drive" strangely enough:crazy: ) after about 30 seconds my car starts missing slightly on cylinder number 2- enough to trigger the engine...

I'm in the middle of changing an engine on a C200 K (2007 model). I know the C200k is slightly faster than the C180k am I right in thinking the gains are from the ECU / Kompressor? Basically, what I would like to know is can I use the engine block from a C180k (2005 model) on my C200k (2007...

Hi, I am looking for a second hand engine for a Mercedes C200 Kompressor Auto, 2007 model. Engine number 271940 Believe these are some of the later engines in the C class and CLK. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Looks like I'm getting a used M271 with 3600 kms to replace my engine. Had a mis-fire, no compression on cylinder #3, found out it was due to a chuck of the piston that had broken off the side, scoring the wall. Not sure what may have caused this, it could have been several things. My car...

I have read that the early builds of the M271 suffer from a cylinder head problem that causes compression problems. This is due to exhaust valves sticking, guides/springs wearing, and carbon build up. The fix is a new cylinder head. I have read that the exhaust valve on the new head is smaller...

Does anyone know where this is? I'm getting a P0410 code that's related to it, and terrible gas mileage for the first 1-3 mins of idle, when this valve is supposed to be open.

The cam magent sensors have been leaking on my M271 and I'll like to buy the cable that isolates them from the engine harness. I found posts that state the part # starts with A271... yet what's the entire part #?

Mines got the grey one, Tilly has got the black one. What have you other M271 users got?

Here comes a long story. As you know I bought a C180 K in January and it has the M271 engine. This engine comes in three guises a C180 with 143bhp, C200 163bhp and a C230 193bhp.Obviously the aim was to get from 143bhp to 193 bhp as cheaply as possible. I spoke to Brabus who can send my...

After many hours of sifting through the data and checking 6 VINS against each other I can suggest the following findings about the M271. * If the engine is 2005 spec then it will be specially upgraded already with low noise parts that were recently introduced. * In all M271 2005 the 5...
