[Sergius]

Hi, I’m Sergiu and I’m new here, I’d like to ask you which diesel engine should I choose , because I wanna buy a w204 from Europe, and get to my country by transit.
I’m looking for 2.0 2.2 or 2.5 CDI, and dont know which is the best and reliable. Could you please help me with this question?

Hello and welcome!

Do you have a local Mercedes mechanic who may advise you based on experience?

Also, what sort of mileage are you liktky to cover annually and are fuel costs important to you?

Like any vehicle purchase condition and service history are most important.

OM642 W204 C320 / C350 CDI any day of the week....Immense torque and performance coupled with good fuel economy. They do have the issues of oil cooler seal leaks / swirl flap motor / mechanism, but if these are sorted, you will get many enjoyable miles out of this engine.
