Hi, I am not yet officially a Mercedes owner but I am actively looking to purchase a c350cdi w204 and I am close to securing a purchase on an early 2011 plate.
While using this forum to learn a little about my next purchase it has come to light that there is or has been a massive issue with the blue efficiency injectors, so my questions are -
1- From what I can gather this issue has already been rectified and any Mercedes regularly serviced at a main dealer should not be concerned, is this correct.
2 - Is the fix permanent or still causing some members on-going issues.
3 - I am not clear whether this issue even affects the c320 and c350 V6 engines so if someone could clarify it would be appreciated.
4 - Any other issues or points to note regarding the V6 engine and C class w204 in general I should be aware of?
5 - What is the real around town MPG from other 320/350 owners?
6 - I haven't come across issues regarding the DPF but I know on some cars this has also caused major issues and cost for owners. Is the W204's DPF any cause for concern?
Any help very much appreciated
