Hello
The V6 engine (OM642) in my 2010 E350 failed at the weekend. It looks like one of the connecting rods failed (not entirely sure what exactly the failure mode was) and punctured through the casing and destroyed the engine . The car now requires a new engine and if this were to be carried out by MB the car would be beyond economical repair.
The car has done 82000 miles and had a full MBSH. I'm shocked and obviously extremely disappointed for the engine to fail at such a mileage.
Can anyone tell me if this engine has a history of such failures?
Thanks
