I’m looking to update my estate car with either a newer E class, or a CLS Shooting Brake, and I’d love a bit of an insight into engine choices please.
I think it will be between the 250 and 350 cdi engines, but my concerns are about nox sensors and adblue systems, which I"ve been told are integral to Euro 6 engines? There seem to be lots of issues, which I’m hoping to avoid.
I still have an E500 S211, and I’ve just sold an R320, with the OM642 engine, so a 350 engine would seem a natural successor. However, I’ve heard the 250cdi is a great engine, but I don’t know which version? I’d happily stick with another petrol V8, but choices are few. If Euro 6 means complex issues, perhaps I would be better with Euro 5 specs? Any shared experience would be gratefully received!
