Data Card Build Spec and Power Output

[csquire3]

Hi all, first post, new to Mercedes (apart from a very brief spell with a SLK) and have a UK 2010 registered (built early 2011) E Class 350 CDi Sport being delivered on Monday.

Could someone kindly provide me with the data card and confirm the options and power output, (I want to make sure it's a 265bhp).

VIN number is WDD2120232A356049

Thanks
Col

Looks like it's an OM642 engine but not sure of bhp.

Cheers guys, a relief to find it's 265bhp, from what I read there were quite a few improvements made when they went from 231bhp to 265bhp to improve mpg, emissions and smoothness and when I test drove a 231bhp, although it was very quick I thought it sounded more clattery but wasn't sure if it was my imagination.

The OM642 was taken to 261hp but has subsequently dropped to 254 and even to 251. Have I got that wrong?

Bet it has a dpf though.

Yep, code 474 on the build sheet. I wonder how much performance is restricted by the dpf? ah well, at least it's good for the environment, allegedly......
