E200 1.8 BlueEFFICIENCY CGI AVANTGARDE ESTATE AUTO
As JL above - test drive the car it might feel ok with just the driver on board but woefully underpowered semi or fully laden, depends on the type of use. Reminds me of the MK1 escort 1100 a great car when driven one up but utterly hopeless when loaded with more weight
At the moment I have a 2005 E200 S211 Estate, which pulls fine loaded. Would the other one be better or worse?
If you get the VIN number we can confirm which engine is fitted.
If it's an M271 it will be the same family as your existing car's engine - the M271.
If you Google M271 there is a lot of information on the web detailing issues with timing chains and camshaft sprockets.
Apart from the previously mentioned timing chain and camshaft gears like all direct injection engines it will suffer from carbon build up in the inlet tract and the back of the inlet valves. Depending on how many miles it's done and how its been driven it may show up sooner or later.
Sorry can't help you there, but I expect any combustion will leave deposits to a greater or lesser extent without the cleaning effect of petrol washing over the back of the valves.Can you convert an CGI blueEFFICIENCY to LPG and if so do you still get the same problems with carbon build up on the valves?
