CDI engines are pretty much as reliable as it gets when it comes to mercedes. Some things you should watch out for is build up around the injectors (pretty easy to check, just pop the engine cover off), for engines in the V configuration (V6 and V8), a common failure is the balance shaft, as well as the crank position sensor. Another thing that tends to go out at around 180k miles is the water pump, as well as the glow plug relay. Again, all of the problems i've mentioned are quite minor, but things like the balance shaft could cause you to have a pretty bad day if it fails. I personally have an e320 cdi, and it's been bulletproof so far. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the video! I replaced my W211 E320 motor mounts and trans mount few months ago. The top bolts of the motor mounts were the most difficult part IMO. I removed the exhaust on the both side and used a flex head ratchet to remove the top bolts, then jacked up the motor a bit to get the clearance to replace them. The trans mount was a lot easier and the cross member does not need to be removed. Once again good job! Oh and I love the new AMG C63 Coupe!

I have a w211 E55 and you def need this tool for motor mounts. The passenger side is easy, plenty of space for it to slide out without removing the exhaust. The driver side is a pain, the steering rack/column will be in the way. I was able to forcefully wiggle out the mount by loosening the steering rack. I prob spent 2 hours just on the driver side mount. Good Luck!

AC compressor is actually EASY to remove. Just get your serpentine belt loose off the compressor... Three bolts holding on compressor and maybe two little one holding AC line/or some other hoses. The trick is get your mount off its place... let it danglebehind the compressor... get the compressor loose, get old mount out... shove new mount in and put back the compressor bolts... button up everything you did to take off compressor and continue on the mount install. I did this on W210. Passenger side on W210 is super easy... push mounts toward rear and it talls out. Shove new one in same way.
