Issues with the Merc C-Class diesels?
Does c200 diesel or c220 diesel become problematic as regards repairs what about timing belts and timing chains on these vehicles
Our answer:
Hi John,
You've not mentioned model year, so we're going to address the 2014-on C-Class, the 'W205' series, and we haven't heard of any widespread issues with these diesel models or their timing chains. They are still fairly new cars I guess.
