M264 engine. How common is cylinder head failure?
I have a 2021 GLC 300 with the M264 engine. Mercedes recently extedned the warranry on the M260 engines due to cylinder head failures. The M264 is the same engine, just for RWD cars. I've head it has the same issue. How common is this issue on these cars? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi - I have a 2020 GLC300 with the M264 engine. 36k miles and serviced by mercedes. 8 months out of warranty. lost compression on no 2 cylinder and car came to a grinding halt during Motorway driving. New cylinder head required. Replaced at a cost of £3500 but Mercedes made a 68% good will contribution. Still taking it up with Mercedes as this is by far a premature failure. I'll keep you posted on what the outcome is.
