BCA - Engine Running : Requires some attention

[twerp 69]

Looking at a Merc C350 CDI which the mechanical report :  Engine Running : Requires some attention

Car is FSH and likely to be decent ?

Can you make it to the sale or are you buying online? I sometimes think the inspectors are a bit hard on the cars just to cover their own backs. From my own experience that engine tends to pretty tough. Never had a major issue with the 3.0 litre Mercedes engines, only serviceable items.

Pay no attention- give it a good old rev.... and listen to them starting it up. I just bought a mini with the same thing and it’s absolutely perfect. Do your own research. And don’t buy blind!!

is it in red or amber?

Red is a bit of a gamble, however amber in my experience is most of the time an arse covering exercise.

Amber

It has a fault on throttle pedal which I thought may just be them covering themselves

would that be a s/h plug and play or would it need to be coded in?

Anything in notes?

Nine times out of ten at bca here it’ll say requires attention on engine running then say either pulley noise, boost leak or chain rattle in notes.

Well I made it to the auction and this so called Grade 2 was really what they used to grade as a Grade 5, back 5-6 years ago

Engine sounded alright, but I have my doubts.

Plug-n-play

In the notes was the code for the pedal
