Hi all

After my long journey with my 215 55K I am now replacing it. I have sold the car with the cracked oil control ring to my mechanic. I must say, I am pretty upset as I loved that car but things must move on.

I am now looking to replace it with an S600 07.

Are there anything I need to look for, engine wise? I am well versed in ABC etc so no worries on that front, but I cant see any common issues with the M275 (apart from coil packs!)

Thanks all!

 

They are stout in stock form. Run a bit hot, but as long as you don't get too greedy with boost (or even better- leave it alone) you are gtg.

When you get one check the ic pump. They die often and throw no codes unless car is pushed hard and then you get "high charge air temp" codes.

 

Many thanks, so the same story as other AMG's with regards to the IC pumps. Good to know.
