What You Get with a M271 Engine

What's included

Not included

    Used or reconditioned?

    For Group 1, 2, 4, and 6 applications (supercharged variants in W203, W204 pre-facelift, W211, CLK/SLK), used units are widely available from a large and ageing donor parc, offering strong value. For Group 3 and 5 applications (turbo EVO variants in W204 facelift and W212), reconditioned units are more commonly selected given the lower donor volume and higher vehicle residual values. The M271's camshaft drive chain sits at the transmission end of the engine, and on higher-mileage examples the chain, tensioners, and camshaft adjuster sprockets are the components most commonly worn beyond economic in-car repair. This is the primary reason M271 units are typically replaced as complete engines rather than repaired in situ. Every unit we supply has the timing chain assembly inspected and the camshaft adjusters checked as standard before dispatch.
