Evening all.
Sorry to post yet another "MPG" post but I trying to determine what I can realistically expect from a W204 C220 CDI with the OM646 engine.
I am in need of a car as a stop gap for 8 months or so, ideally an automatic as I'll be travelling 82 miles round trip, mainly on A roads. After doing some research It would seem that the W204 C220 with the OM646 engine and 5G gearbox is proven to be quite reliable however it would appear it isnt the most fuel efficient; reading posts on here i'm seeing between low 30s to high 40s.
I know MPG is dependent on a multitude of things but what can I expect to get realistically on a ~40 mile trip mainly A roads and what are those who have had / currently have receiving on theirs?
The blueefficiency models appear to return better MPG but I'm put off with various issues i've read on here, specifically injector issues / timing chains issues (I had a BMW with the N47 engine that had the timing chain fail on me so i don't fancy another hassle like that!!)
Thanks in advance.
