So I sent this guy a question: *Dear eaglerestorables,* Does this car have the factory replacement engine or is it the original that suffers from bent connecting rods, which leads to the excessive oil usage and engine failure?
and this is the reply: ** I am assuming it has the original motor, I do know of the problem you are speaking of and Mercedes never acknowledged there was one, even though it was obvious. I talked to the local mercedes garage about the oil usage it has and they said that not all of the original motors had those problems, and the ones that did usually showed failure in the first 100,000 miles. Don't know the accuracy of the info, but hope it helps. thanks - eaglerestorables --R (We report, You decide) Kaleb C.
