When browsing the forums it seems to me that there are many more threads related to problems with diesel engines as opposed to petrol engines and I wonder why. Perhaps the easy answer is that there are many more diesel engined Mercedes on the road or, alternatively, that current diesels are inherently less reliable. I don't know!
I do wonder if there is a problem related to diesels where the level of sophistication needed (turbos, particulate filters, etc.) to overcome the inherent problems of diesel engines (low power, excessive pollution, excessive noise, etc.) are leading to reliability problems.
What do the rest of you think?
