Is durability affected by displacement? And if it isn't anymore until which year it was supposed to be? I guess durability of 2.2 liter engine from 2008. containing 200 hp is not affected by the size of displacement but what about the engines from the beginning of 2000's?

Some say that if there's 'a lot of HP on small displacement' the engine's more likely to weaken it's durability.

OK, I see you want me to mention the engines. I got C 200 CDI from 2001. and I wanted you to compare it to C 220 CDI and C 270 CDI and also C 320 CDI from the same period, or W203 series because some of them may have not been produced at the same year.

If I've been misunderstood I want to empasize, I wanted to know if less PS/Litre meant durable engine.

That was sort of answer I expected, DustInSunlight, considering what I was interested in. Excellent :goojob:

If you are into these engines, I would like to compare C 200 CDI and C 220 CDI from w203... redesigned they got about 20Nm and 6 PS more, it took place in 2004/05. I would like to know what are the good and bad sides of both, the way they were constructed, which engine was taken as ideal or standard when modelling these two which were mentioned.

And a glimpse at gasoline models which, you Americans, would be more competent to talk about than the diesels, what about the 1.8 petrol engine from the same car mentioned in the paragraph above with different kompressor powers. C 230K produces 190PS and there are also C 180K and C 200K with the same displacement but different PS.

If there's such specialist, please answer!

Thanks.

People abuse their engines much more by using the wrong oil

I've been put Valvoline on last service in official service company, is it right one?
