Why You Should Avoid the 2015 2021 Mercedes Benz C300
Mercedes-Benz, for many years, has been a benchmark for luxury but when it comes to having “outlaws”, they’re not left out.
The fourth generation (W205) Mercedes-Benz C300, which falls between the years 2015 & 2021 is the focus for today’s video.
Plush leather, better cabin design & build, luxurious external presence, loads of tech features, these and more did Mercedes-Benz offer on the fourth generation of the C-class.
The W204 Mercedes-Benz C300 was powered by a 3.0L naturally aspirated V6 (M274) which was a very reliable engine, however for the next generation, the W205 as seen in the video above, Mercedes-Benz in the bid to reduce carbon emission, stepped the power train down to a 2.0l twin-turbocharged in-line 4 cylinder (M274), retaining the power of a V6.
This engine, however, isn’t what consumers expected of the C300, given the impression left by the previous generation.
This engine, while fun, came with a lot of problems that were only worsened by poor octane ratings in the petrol in some countries.
The problems caused could be so dire, they could lead to a knocked engine.
Stick around & watch the video to the end to find out the problems of this car and solutions to these problems.
Cheers,
Miee

@@gbma3241 it really depends on how the previous owner treated the car and for how long. If they only owned for 20k-30k miles (which is actually quite common seeing how most people lease these cars) you’re probably fine. As for the cost it really depends upon your location. On average it’s like a dollar more per gallon and the c300 I believe has a 16 gallon tank so $15-$20 more for a full tank is roughly what you’d be paying extra compared to regular 87 octane. And if you’re in a pinch or are tight on cash, it won’t hurt to put a couple gallons of 87 every once in a blue moon, just don’t get in the habit of doing it regularly.

Hi there! Thank you so much for watching. You take care of your car well. That's impressive. While I stated all you mentioned in the full review, LSPI is a common issue experienced worldwide and is mostly caused by constantly flooring the car in order to get some performance, leading to more boost than the pistons can handle and there leading to cracks in the pistons. Cars with similar powetrain should be driven easily and not spiritedly.

Just check VIN and there scroll down to where it says "Engine no.:" and you'll see 274920 E0 XXXXXX or 274920 30 XXXXXX. If the last 6 digits of your engine number are after 043259 (if 274920 E0 precedes it) or after 406602 (if 30 precedes it) then you have the updated parts. If not, you are in the range of motors that have the defective wrist pin.

She is right I've owned it for a year know and made 80.000km on it and trust me the most fun time of my life such a good car but the engine has a flaw. Cylinder one is most likely to Crack and go bad. If you're car is slowly burning motor oil and your exhaust tips get really dirty and hard to clean get that car sold! The first piston is then cracked and the engine will go on a safe modus to prevent itself for making it worse. Ive had this problem couldn't figure what was going on kept on driving it and my engine needed to be replaced and yes it's a fucking good car but every car has a sickness and that had the m274 in the c300 and the problem starts by too much fuel injection so get that shit fine tuned get the cat out of there and make the tuner clear that he needs to look at the fuel injections because that is where the problem begins! And they put Renault pistons in this engine while they are pushing it hard cuz it's a really small engine block. So just keep this in your mind keep notice of the sings when there is something bad going to happen and have fun driving this car!

Hi there! Thank you for watching. The 2013 C300 is of the previous generation, W204, and is powered the Mercedes M276 which is one of the most reliable powertrains to be rolled out of the Mercedes factories. Keep up with the maintenance schedules, pay attention to the car, use the right lubricants and the car would love you.

@ridewithmiee 4 ай бұрын
Hi there! Thank you for watching. Mercedes revised the M274 in 2017, thereby creating the M264 to correct some errors in the former. One of the changes includes a new twin-scroll turbocharger. It also still features direct injection so carbon buildup is imminent as in most direct injection engines. Misfires may also be experienced and the use of adulterated or low octane petrol may lead to engine knocking.

Some women actually know lots of stuff about cars. Use yours carefully, take tips from folks in this comment section and enjoy your unit.
