My friend who has owned his E-Class 320 CDI would say that his engine has been absolutely reliable in 100k+ miles and has never needed anything other than routine servicing.

However, in my mind it would be common enough issue for a an aftermarket company to consider designing and manufacturing an upgraded part?
