Mercedes-Benz W211 Engine Diagnostics/Problems - Everything You Need To Know (M113, & M272/M273)

►In this Mercedes-Benz W211 Engine Guide, Kyle Bascombe, our Mercedes-Benz Catalog Manager, educates us about the engines found in the W211 chassis. There are three main engines covered in this video—the M113, and the M272/M273. Kyle goes over key maintenance items (such as crank pulleys, engine mounts), common failure points (breather hoses, crankshaft position sensor, EGR system), and the most common oil leaks (valve covers, timing cover, oil pan), across all three of these engines.

all of these videos are helping me save a lot of money as I became an owner of an 04 E500
2 years ago and have changed 2 front end air struts, alternator, radiator, coolant reservoir, voice module, SAM unit [rear], rear lights, hood cable assembly, 3rd brake light, driver side CV axel, hood locking mechanism, so far! Car sat thru a snow season and rain up north so under carriage was rusted and brittle, holes in exhaust. I love the car - she seems to bounce back so well after all the abuse - keeping it.Will hit MB up for the SBC upgrade.

Love how Mercedes covered SBC fault in the US and it’s a warranty but here in Australia it’s just bad luck.

Thanks for the great video. I have a 272 engine in my daughters 2006 E350 and a 113 in my G500. Both very realiable thus far.

I don't see the links for the videos you had talked about on the M272. Thanks for the videos...I started buying all my parts from you because Alex from Legit Street Cars recommended you and I am super happy with your customer service and the quality of your parts and warranty.
