Choosing a 200 CGI
Hello, recently i have been looking at one particular W212 with the 271 engine, posting in this forum after a suggestion from a forum mate, the engine is the same as the one in W204 as far as i know, transmission too. For the last couple of months i have been reading about the 271 engine and i am still not completely sure if it's worth it or i should walk away. I know that the older models had a problem with the timing chain, what else is there to worry about (lambdas ?), is the turbo reliable / tough ? The car i am looking is currenly @ 65k miles, year is 2011, with your average service history. This particular benz is in manual, should i worry about the gearbox too or is it just your average manual. Talked with the guy and he said that the car hasnt had any issues, been in the dealership just for regular maintenance. Just want to mention that i am not interested in V6 or V8 engines at all. This is meant to be a daily commuter for the most part.
