Probably not. My Eclass has done 165k on original chain. Should I be concerned??? lol.
Only that the M271 engine “can” suffer chain failure from 80k miles .

Bill had a R171 a little while back and sold it to buy a CLK...
Which he sold to buy another CLK... He still misses his SLK though... he’s just trying to justify his madness :D:p
