2023 GLE350 engine 264?
We bought our '23 GLE350 as a CPO a year ago. The VMI shows the first 3 digits of the engine serial number as 264. In traveling around the Internet it seems the cylinder heads had problems. I was unable to find anything definitive for our car. Any observations for a paranoid old guy? BTW it is not a mild hybrid.

All I can say is drive it like a luxury vehicle. (Milk Truck). Don't play Ricky racer just because you have a turbo. Stay religious with the maintenance intervals. When it comes time for spark plugs (on or before 60K miles) change them.
My 2020 has had Zero issues. ( Knock on wood) It's a good engine for us older drivers. We have nothing to prove how fast we can get the thing going. Remember these engines are hotter than the normal oil temps so monitor it from time to time to make sure it doesn't cross the high-end threshold. and for gawd sake don't cheat and use cheap gad to save a buck in the short term. Premium Gas is far cheaper that replacing an engine.
