Hi there, I hope everyone is well.
been so busy, finally found the time and following up from my last post on the forum
after the sudden cut out of my e350 cdi coupe while driving, followed by no crank, not even a click, unfortunately it turned out to be a seized engine, had me shocked in a way, I suspected everything else but the engine, as I thought if it was the engine I would've heard it go? but oh well, and I know it's hard to say without stripping the whole thing, but what's common to go on these? especially without making odd noises, any idea?
it's a shame really and the car did serve me pretty well, is also a good spec, so rather than just letting it go at a complete loss, I'm thinking about either an engine swap or a rebuild, depending on how much it sets me back
in terms of engine swap, my engine code is 642.836, however I wanted to ask, if I was to get an engine from let's say, a saloon e350 cdi, which is essentially the same engine, but has a different engine code, would it be suitable to use? some have told me yes, some have told me no, so just confused really, and finding a specific coupe engine isn't seeming to be the easiest of things atm lol
what do you guys think? thank you
