belt walking off and maybe the fuel pump sender cracking/leaking due to age. not too many headbolt issues that im aware of - car will run very hot in manual mode when in stop and go traffic, otherwise its pretty good
Considering the trend on value of the car, yes it is a risk.
There is some other stuffs you can do in preventive mode
- vave buckets repalced by SLS BS ones
- imrpoved adjuster camshaft plates

Thank you.
That's good to hear.
I am sure the MB techs will get ahead of this when it has it's first service.
Many thanks

If I decide to go down that route, I will get this done for sure.
the engine has plenty of life left before you even need to worry about the valve buckets or adjuster plates. probably like 50kmi more life on the engine
I picked up the car today and drove 300 miles through some amazing mountain roads.
The car was totally amazing today.
After quite a few miles the car developed a small high pitched squealing sound at low speeds. This happened when it was hotter as opposed to when it had cooled down.
Having stated this, the temps were rock solid today.
that's one cool hoodie! were you at Race Service for the debut of Raw Spec GT3? i'm a bit bummed for missing out on the event, lots of cool apparels were dropped on the day-of, and i don't see them up on their site, including that hoodie you were wearing.

Yes I was there and it was a super cool event!
I colab with RS on quite a few projects and I am lucky to to get looked after all the time.
having done my headbolts on the CLK black, i think its a well worth investment knowing its one less thing to go wrong
not pitching for you to DIY it, but find a local shop that you trust and is willing to do engine work
these motors are simple in the grand scheme of things
