@@chiefdenis more like they know how to fuse engine technologies. And it isn’t as complicated and badly applied as VW and the other idiot engines Audi. Lol
You missed how awesome the oil pump is! It is a constant pressure pump (variable displacement), so it adjusts the flow according to the pressure. The vanes are not flung out by centrifugal force, but by the little round washer-looking ring in the center of the rotor, it ensures that the vanes always stays close to the outer ring. The spring pushing on the outer ring allows the ring to move, thus adjusting the displacement of the pump. This is a very nice design, i have not seen that on engines before, it will ensure that the oil pressure is always the same, regardless of oil thickness or wear, while staying efficient.
This MB engine design looks straightforward, robust, and easy to service. Can’t believe it’s made by a German luxury manufacturer instead of Toyota, Honda etc.
Mercedes has always been something different than VW brands or bmw. I mean there's a reason why so many old Mercedes are driving around in Europe... and when they're too rusty for europe they keep driving in Africa.
Nice teardown once again. I was expecting something more complicated in an Audi-manner, but those caked piston rings were a surprise. Keep up with this good job!
Mercedes engines can last a loooooong time if you maintain them right. My brother had old 90s Mercedes that had almost 500k on it. That car felt so hefty and solid. Wish they still made them like that
Especially the diesel ones. My dad's has 320k on and it runs like new. Mercedes makes reliable engines. The problem is that owners who buy them used don't budget for maintenance so end up using cheap items which causes the engines to fail.
I can't explain what it was about this video but I think this was the best I have seen so far and I have watched for a few years. Great Job! Keep it up!
This is much much better than junk AUDI engines. What a difference! Thanks for great explicit video like always I was waiting for this Merceses engine.
Years ago my friend bought a ML class diesel that self destructed. After he cracked it open there was so much sludge inside, as if it was running on something straight from Alberta oil sands. Then after some research he found out that Benz recommendation was to cut the OCI in half to prevent lubrication problems and sludge build up. I guess someone did 20-30k km OCIs thinking the 'LongLife' oil can last that long.
Im surprised by the amount of quality materials used on a modern engine, and it looks simple to work on too. But then again its a Mercedes and looks like they are still on their game. I would kill to have those type of MLS headgaskets on my lex 3VZ. One day i will see an OG merc M104 engine teardown 🤤
As I look through the comments I see many people that are amazed by how simple Mercedes can design its engines. As a Mercedes driver myself, who often works on mercedes engines in my free time, I can say there are many engines from mercedes who are simple in their design. I love working on these engines. But not everything is smooth sailing with them. Like you saw in this video, Mercedes sometimes loves to use special tools. This is why you should be creative or have these tools in your toolbox. But these are minor inconveniences. And for everyone who owns this engine or the newer ones: The linkage, which connects the valve and the vacum actuator at the waterpump assembly, can collect dirt and can get stuck in the close position. This prevents your engine to cool properly and will cause it to overheat. If this happens, first try to clean the spot where the linkage is held in place by the hex screw. This can save your some money.
Awesome tear down. Shows the importance of changing your oil every 3-5 thousand miles and use synthetic oil and your engine will last a very long time.
If you're using synthetic, 7,500 to 10,000 is usually fine, unless you have an engine that's known to have oiling issues, or problems with sludge buildup.
@@PistonAvatarGuy that's true but I change mine when the reminder comes on at 5k miles. I have a 08 Highlander with 210k miles and the engine runs as smooth and strong as the day I bought it.
Shows the importance of not hitting a rock with your oil sump... or some other scenario that causes a massive hole to drain the oil while the engine is running.
Mercedes engines are well made and reliable. The problem comes when people buy them used and out of maintenance plan and then don't budget to do maintenance. It isn't fair when people blame the manufacturer for the owners' stupidity.
How tf do you run an engine without any oil like that? Wouldn't the car go crazy when the Computer sees zero oil pressure? On a side note this engine is one of the better modern 4 Cylinders. Certainly A LOT nicer than Volkswagen junk. Its obvious that Mercedes Engineers wanted to design it to be as simple and straightforward as possible. Very little potential for leaks, a solid cast oil pan adding strengh to the block, its an all aluminum engine and everything is just really easy to access. I absolutely love their way of sealing this engine up: Instead of the usual gaskets that will all leak at some point they use a liquid sealant of some type. A major advancement in engineering since it guarantees a tight seal regardless of torque and sealing surface flatness.
That M270 engine can be rebuilt. Send the crank to the machine shop, get it machined, install it with new bearings, along with new rings after honing the cylinders, and a gasket/seal kit, it will do another few hundred thousand miles. Just avoid obstacles that can puncture the oil pan. I have the 1.6 litre version of this engine in my A180. It’s a great engine, and the car itself is very good. This engine you pulled down had infrequent oil changes, and possibly the wrong brand of oil.
...And that's why you always use impact sockets with impact drivers. ;) Regular sockets are harder and have thinner walls making them unsafe for impact use.
Yep! I'm amazed how many people don't care then break their chrome sockets. I buy tools for life and I would be furious if one of my sockets broke especially due to negligence. It sucks having to buy all those sockets but at least I always have spare sizes and I'm a lot less likely to break one.
Great video, it's impressive how good you are at being able to tell what a component does from looking at it. Can you make a vid on a dodge 5.7 hemi next?
Very interesting concise video, I've got a Merc b class 1500cc Renault engine 2014, I run out of oil first time ever, had to fit a new turbo, it won't happen again. Keep um coming,
I own a cla 250 and oil pan broke and ran out of oil and car stop, and I don't know what to do I should take it to you to fix it how much 😊 you're a pro 👍🏻👌
I don't understand how you can run an engine dry of oil in a Mercedes! There are so many warnings the poor thing would give you that would get you would have to be blind, deaf and stupid all at the same time to let this happen. The relative lack of plastic is refreshing, especially when compared against BMW who will probably "engineer" a way to make the damn crankshaft out of that material! Over all, it looks reassuringly simple and robust in design.
Ive been waiting for you to tear down a M271 engine..these have a complicated engine breathing pcv setup that clogs up causing issues with oil pressure and premature wear. Thanks for doing the M270 motor..clearly Benz have improved the 4 cyl offering substantially. Interesting vacuum pump..didnt expect go see that design. Cheers mate.
is it possible they whacked something from the road into the bottom of the engine, leading to oil loss and then starvation? Perhaps a closer look at the oil pan to see which way the damage is pointing (in to or out of the oil pan?)...either way, the outcome would be the same and the check engine would definitely come on ;) great video
If something exited the engine the balance shaft and oil pump would have been annihilated. This is an obvious case of someone ran over a rock or something and continued to drive until it siezed
I agree, they ran over something. I've done that before but got the oil pan welded before the engine grenaded. That was a big hole, you have to get it towed straight away if that happens. The clue would be the secret agent level oil slick your car is leaving on the road.
These engines are used in lower end mercedes benz vans and cars and these are super reliable specially the diesel ones can go long miles .. those high performance v8s and v6s are stupid.
@@speedkar99 would a steel oil pan have saved it? I think steel is a lot less brittle than aluminium and also stronger. I've cracked aluminium oil pans running over relatively small objects at low speed.
Hey, get yourself a piece of car tarpaulin/tilt - you can order required dimensions. They are durable, oil&fluids resistant, help keeping your pavement and backyard nice and clean. Got myself a white one, so I can easily see all the parts. :)
@@speedkar99 This one can be easily washed with a hose. Also you can still put a cardboard on it to absorb some oils. Your wife will be happier, I guarantee.
Plot twist: he doesn't have a brother, sister, friend, mom or dad whos'e clothes hes stolen to use as shop towels but actually those are the clothes of his victims. Just let this thought brew there for a moment. Merry christmas and happy new year.
For some reason Infiniti offered a Mercedes M274 2.0 on the Q50 as the base model (with the 7-Speed G-tronic too) at one point. 20 gallon fuel tank might come in handy
I wonder what caused the hole? Years ago when I lived in the UK I was traveling along the motorway and heard a huge bang, looked in the rearview mirror and saw lumps of metal and a shit load of black smoke trailing behind me. Managed to pull off and looked in engine bay and a large section of the engine had blown off, it was pretty cool because I could see all of the inner workings. Not sure what caused it but it was an old Skoda Estelle, notoriously unreliable cars. BTW the engines to these were in the rear.
Maybe ran over debris on the road or did a bit of offroading in the rock garden next to the mall parking lot. Sounds like you threw a rod maybe to oil starvation.
It's hybrid technology is based on an existing Ford product, though it's electric motor is now made in house, smaller and lighter, probably done so to save on expensive materials like copper, though Ford will surely state it was done to lighten the overall weight of the vehicle. The hybrid Maverick is currently on back order, probably due to the lack of engines and possibly that newly designed electric motor as well. Scheduled production of the Hybrid currently planned to begin December 8th, 2021, if they make that target.
what actually happened to that oil pan ? Was the vehicle driven over something which broke it ? Why did this engine, starving for oil, not throw a rod ?
Cam bearings should last the life of any vehicle. By doing it this way, it eliminates cam bearings, cam bearings caps, cam bearings cap bolts, assembly of those items during manufacturing. It's quite genius actually.
Other than the spark plug location it should be a pretty stout little German engine. Volkswagen / Audi could learn something from Mercedes-Benz and I can't believe I'm saying that.
Do you take this down the scrap yard afterward? I sold 4 small alloy BMW TRX wheels to a scrap merchant and they gave me £36 GBP ($47 USD). Aluminum alloys are valuable
Hey guys what’s up. Was wondering if this 07 fusion was worth it. It has 170k miles on it and so far the only problems are as follows: •Small crack on windshield by where it meets the roof but a little lower (doesn’t obstruct view) around the length of a water bottle •Needs one motor mount Radio screen does not light up because of a fuse that’s blown, works fine otherwise Hood is slightly bent downwards Inspected it for frame damage and everything looks good. Drove smooth and AC works great. Made them go to 1800. Is it worth it?
As long as it isn't AWD V6, why not. The AWD are known for their issues. Told my roommate to remove the drive shaft all together, as the hanging bearing and U-jonts were finished. Then there is the transfer case issue on them, since Ford make them a sealed units with failing bearings. Other than that, things like front window regulators, door levers on driver side, upper rad hose. That's what I changed in last 2months. Tried to remove spark plugs but ... I better leave it alone as I really don't feel like fixing the treads or splitting the engine apart to take the heads off. Also oils leaks all over. Yup, someone butchered the thing really well.
My grandmother has a B250 which has this motor. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but the 7spd DCT Mercedes makes is very lazy and takes off horribly. VW/Audi may be more complex on the engine side, but the DSG is far superior.
Quality materials are nice, but it's built to fail. The intergrated cam bearings also failed, and that would require replacement of the entire head, and valve cover.. Poor design nor intended to last.
@@nobodynoone2500 it looks like its well designed for me. Mls headgaskets, beefy balance shafts those are the once i know and noticed and made me think it was well designed
Electric motors are much simpler compare to the ICE. If batteries becomes cheaper in near future, then ICE will become history in cities. Mercedes also announced they will switch completely to electric cars. That speak something to all of us.
yanno... never got into any benz stuff but after watching you tear down this engine, even for a 4 cyl, they made it pretty durable and looks like it would have lasted for a long time. And even take a turbo without any engine component replacing. these seem way better built than any bmw or audi.
That engine is way simpler and easier to work on than i thought. Great work, MB, surprised me.

I assume all inline engines are pretty simple design. Once you have V design things start getting complicated.

Radio screen does not light up because of a fuse that’s blown, works fine otherwise
Hood is slightly bent downwards
Inspected it for frame damage and everything looks good. Drove smooth and AC works great. Made them go to 1800. Is it worth it?
Those are minor. As long as engine and tranny is strong go for it
I've owned two 2008 Ford Fusions and I loved them.
As long as it isn't AWD V6, why not. The AWD are known for their issues. Told my roommate to remove the drive shaft all together, as the hanging bearing and U-jonts were finished. Then there is the transfer case issue on them, since Ford make them a sealed units with failing bearings. Other than that, things like front window regulators, door levers on driver side, upper rad hose. That's what I changed in last 2months. Tried to remove spark plugs but ... I better leave it alone as I really don't feel like fixing the treads or splitting the engine apart to take the heads off. Also oils leaks all over. Yup, someone butchered the thing really well.
Sounds fine, but it's going to be a ford fusion at the end of the day. Expect a few more small things on that car.
My grandmother has a B250 which has this motor. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but the 7spd DCT Mercedes makes is very lazy and takes off horribly. VW/Audi may be more complex on the engine side, but the DSG is far superior.
Nothing beats DSG for me except manual transmissions when it comes to pure driving pleasure
What’s the mileage on this engine? Engine seems clean otherwise.
Could you do a diesel engine?
I'm looking for a TDI
I think This engine Was Built From Quality Materials And Less Plastic.
I Have A Feeling that the maintenance Was Neglected.
Of course, the more known the manufacturer, the less maintenance it needs in eyes of the potential owners - until it goes kaboom
Quality materials are nice, but it's built to fail. The intergrated cam bearings also failed, and that would require replacement of the entire head, and valve cover.. Poor design nor intended to last.
@@nobodynoone2500 it looks like its well designed for me. Mls headgaskets, beefy balance shafts those are the once i know and noticed and made me think it was well designed
Most HP STD production engine ever !
Infiniti also uses this engine in some of their cars..
Q30 right?
@@speedkar99 yup.
Mercedes wised up and installed a dipstick on this engine
I wonder if BMW is also going install oil dipstick back as the preferred method of checking oil level?
@@pliedtka They should, no excuse for it because I need to see the oil level first hand
Now Benz making the thermostat and cooling passage in plastic like VW that’s not good at all
Yeah 😔
Un motor eléctrico no necesita tanta piezas. No como es que pueden diseñar esas piezas y luego de eso estar cambiando de motor cada año.
Electric motors are much simpler compare to the ICE. If batteries becomes cheaper in near future, then ICE will become history in cities.
Mercedes also announced they will switch completely to electric cars. That speak something to all of us.
yanno... never got into any benz stuff but after watching you tear down this engine, even for a 4 cyl, they made it pretty durable and looks like it would have lasted for a long time. And even take a turbo without any engine component replacing. these seem way better built than any bmw or audi.
How the hell do you break an oil pan like that?
question is , will it still run if you fixed that pan
JB Weld.
It would need to be rebuilt with new bearings and piston rings (maybe rods) and all the metal flushed out. Even then it might not run right.
lol, the same thing that happens when you run out of Oil in any ICE😉
Yep. This one is well built though
@@speedkar99, lol, but that’s not the point…
How much did you have to pay the guy to make lawnmower sounds the entire video?
I'm sorry. It's either my neighbor lawn mowing or my wife vacuuming,..it's hard to get quiet time to film in the daylight
