M279 motor

Hej.
Funderar på en S600 W222 och undrar hur driftsäkerheten är på denna motor och vad man bör se upp med?

Thanks! OP The 279 is excellent. Individual coils for each cylinder means that problem in the 275 is solved. Engine mounts are a different design than what was used for the 275. I have not needed to replace them yet in my car that has 140,000 miles. I got to replace a water pump in mine at 125,000 (roughly) miles. Otherwise smooth sailing.

If you are on a chrome browser or chromium based browser right click any empty space and hit translate to English, anyways translated seems to be
" Thank you Jl for sharing your experiences with your car 😊
intend to take a car from Germany this spring and intend to do all the service myself.
Have you done any flush of ABC / MBC suspension on your car yourself?
Kent from Sweden."

Ancient IPad that is unable to run on newer software. Thus; no translation. Thank you for the Google tip.

Kent... MBC fluid gets flushed every 30,000 miles in my cars. Very easy to do. Filter is said to be built into the fluid reservoir. I have not replaced it, but keep fresh fluid in the system. Only failure with MBC has been the pulsation dampener that threads into the MBC pump. Very easy replacement.
