Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) Engines for Sale | Engine Finders

If you're looking for a reconditioned Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) engine, a rebuilt M271 unit, or simply a reliable replacement for a worn-out Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) C 200 (W204) engine, you're in the right place. The W204 C 200, built from 2007 to 2014, uses the 1,796 cc M271 in its supercharged Kompressor and direct-injection CGI forms, catalogued as M271.950, M271.860 and M271.820, with typical output around 184 PS. Owners often search for the car as a 'C200 Kompressor', and the research is explicit that the Kompressor and CGI applications must not be collapsed into one. Engine Finders matches UK buyers searching for 'M271 engine for sale', 'reconditioned M271 price' or 'Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) engine replacement cost' with vetted suppliers who carry the correct unit for your exact car — supply-only or supply-and-fit, used or professionally reconditioned, whichever suits your budget and timeline.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) Replacement Engines

A replacement M271 engine for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) is a significant purchase, so getting the exact code right matters more than the badge on the boot. A supercharged M271 and a direct-injection CGI version share the family name but differ in their boost and fuel systems, so quoting 'an M271' is not enough. The code stamped on your engine, with your VIN, tells the supplier which of the applications your car has, and we ask for it before any quote. Whether you call it a rebuilt engine, a remanufactured unit, or a reconditioned replacement, the work involved is broadly the same: a full strip-down, inspection against factory tolerances, replacement of wear parts, and bench testing before it's fitted or dispatched to you.

C 200 (W204) Models & Engine Codes

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) uses the M271 (1.8-litre four-cylinder (1,796 cc), Petrol (Kompressor and CGI applications)), fitted to C-Class C 200 (W204), Kompressor and CGI across 2007 to 2014. The C 180 (W204) shares the M271 family at a lower rating and, on later cars, the M274.910, and the E 200 (W211, W212) uses related M271 engines, while the W205 C 200 moved to the M274 and M264. None of those is a substitute without a code match. Before ordering any used, reconditioned or rebuilt unit, confirm this code from your V5C or the number stamped on the engine block itself — the same badge can sometimes cover more than one engine across a model's production run, and getting this step right avoids an expensive mismatch.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) Engines

Used M271 engines do come up for sale in the UK, generally sourced from donor or written-off Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) cars. A used engine can look like the cheaper option at first glance, but once you've accounted for inspection, gaskets, ancillaries and the lack of a meaningful warranty, a professionally reconditioned or remanufactured M271 unit is often the better value over the life of the car.

Warranty for Replacement Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) Engines

Warranty terms for a replacement M271 engine are set individually by the supplier we match you with — typically around 12 months on a reconditioned or remanufactured unit. £2,350 is a provisional reference (EF M271 reconditioned engine figure), not a management-approved price. Typical C 200 output is 184 PS; the Kompressor and CGI applications must not be collapsed. Always get the warranty length, what it covers, and the VAT and fitting basis confirmed in writing before you commit.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) M271 Engine Problems & What to Check Before Buying

M271 timing-chain and camshaft-related wear is a family-level concern, and C 200 reliability is a common search theme. We state the concern at family level, not as a finding for your car, and the exact engine revision must be matched. Ask whether the chain, guides, tensioner and camshaft components were inspected or renewed, and what the warranty says. We note this as general background for anyone researching a M271 replacement, not as a confirmed finding for any specific car — ask your supplier what inspection was carried out on the unit you're being quoted, and whether known wear points for this engine family were addressed during the rebuild.

What's Included in a Reconditioned Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 200 (W204) M271 Engine

A genuine reconditioned or remanufactured M271 unit should include a full strip, clean and inspection against factory tolerances, replacement of gaskets, seals and wear items, and a bench test before it leaves the workshop. What's not always included — ancillaries like the turbo, injectors or auxiliary belt components, and whether the price is supply-only or supply-and-fit — varies by supplier, so ask for this in writing alongside your M271 engine quote rather than assuming it's covered.
