My car is in the shop for a failing oil pump and its second failed PCV valve (these valves crack over time). Only other repairs I’ve had to do were a A/C sensor & PCV valve at roughly 70k miles. I’m averaging about 530 miles per fill up, I plan to keep it until the wheels fall off.

You can actually get a refund for it because now they extended the warranty so I would call the dealership and ask if you are eligible to receive a refund there’s someone else who received a refund as well for this issue.

So I'm wondering how many of you are considering selling or trading in your W205/M274 (or already have) based on these engine issues?

Myself, I'm close to that point. I love my C300 and have poured a lot of blood, sweat and tears (and a large pile of money) into my car, but I find myself constantly concerned that today is the day my #1 decides it doesn't want to play anymore.

I'm currently at 51K miles and it has been a great car so far. However, I'm becoming weary of worrying about how much time me and the engine remain friends.

I'm planning a ~3000 mile road trip in the coming months and I'm considering renting a car for it and that's just not right. I should be able to trust my car, but I really don't… unfortunately.

So how many of y'all find yourself in my position?
