@BoatymcboatfaceI agree the 156 is the nicest sounding engine they ever made, the tone of the exhaust in the CL is absolutely amazing. I personally prefer this engine over the 157 due to the amount of issues with Cyl head issues, turbos, turbo cooler lines, cam pulse wheel moving and cam gears going bad, oil in the engine harness, and the fact that the engine has to come out for a lot of the repairs. The M156 is a much simpler engine that will last the test of time
@Chrispcar I just took the car to my shop and took a lot of underside Pics/Videos, Hopefully they update the listing soon. I changed the oil and reset the service light while I had it there, I wish it was dry out because the car was still a little wet due to the rain here today but this was my only chance to get the pics up before the auction ends, as far as the cam gears I was thinking about rebuilding them while I had them out but since there were no issues with them and I was having trouble getting the plates I decided to leave them alone, this car was adult owned and really doesn’t seem like it was abused for most of its life so they should have more time on them. I seem to see them fail a lot more on the C/E that were abused. I have worked for MB for 20 years so for me to address them later if they ever failed is not a big deal to me, I was planning on keeping this car for the next decade but sometimes life changes.
