N47 Timing Chain issue - legal action in Ireland continues

[JohnH]

Anyways, all is not lost, the new Merc 4cyl diesels are doing the exact same with the timing chain in the same location!!!!

Connected to the engine?? Is it a design issue as well as a lack of servicing issue?

Don't Mercedes use Renault engines? Or is it Mercedes own engines?

Yep it's at the rear of the engine. I'd say it's the same as the Bmw, a combination of design fault and excessive mileage on the service intervals

Yes but it's the affected engine with the timing chain issue. They use the 1.5dci Renault engine in there fwd models I.e the A and B class models.
