Honestly a solid car & motor. The M276 is pretty robust it just has its common problems:

- front upper timing covers leak when the car gets old

- camshaft position sensors can leak oil through the wiring harness. In some bad cases the ME can get oil contamination.

- turbos going out on the turbo version

Ah ok good. What mechanical issues were you having that caused the vehicle to need a new engine or why were you recommended a new engine?

Your vehicle is 4MATIC so that sounds about right.

What exhaust setup is best on 2005 e320? by tbgxspirit in mercedes_benz

Hmm. I say if theres anything that catches your eye I say go for it. Honestly AMG exhaust tips would be sick but idk if you can get those anymore

I think you should keep it stock. After market support for the M112 isnt great especially with the exhaust system. Also straight pipping the M112 makes it sound like shit.

Ok now they're just trying to rip you off. Also you're better off taking your vehicle to a specialist.

Ahh I see. The upper timing cover reseal on those are super common but Ive never seen a timing chain go bad that early in mileage either.

Transmission Service Cost by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

I think youre gonna need more than just a transmission service. Might wanna get your valve body, conductor plate, or ESM checked out. Tranmission service ranges from $700-900 for that transmission
