Description
The C320 / A170 Diesel T is a inline-4 diesel engine supplied by Tovesageneral Motors as a tested, used replacement unit. It is sourced, inspected and prepared to give buyers a dependable factory-spec alternative to new-engine pricing, with fitment matched to the Mercedes model range indicated in the listing. Every engine passes through our workshop for a visual and mechanical check before it is listed, so what you receive reflects genuine running condition rather than an untested pull from a scrapyard.
Key Specifications: Configuration - Inline-4. Valvetrain - DOHC, 16-valve. Fuel System - Diesel injection (direct or indirect depending on model year). Aspiration - Turbocharged, intercooled. Power Output - exact factory figures vary by model year, market and transmission pairing; a workshop reference or VIN-based lookup is recommended to confirm the rated horsepower and torque for your specific application rather than relying on a single published number. Condition - used, sourced from a donor vehicle and inspected prior to listing.
Performance Highlights: This diesel favors low-rpm torque and fuel efficiency over top-end power, well suited to towing, hauling, and long-distance driving, with servicing centered on regular oil and fuel-filter changes rather than high-revving use. The turbocharger adds real mid-range punch over a naturally aspirated equivalent, but makes oil quality, proper warm-up, and a turbo cooldown before shutdown more important. Before fitment, we recommend a compression test, oil/coolant inspection, and a visual check of the timing components, mounts and seals.
Common Applications: This engine code is associated with the C320 / A170 Diesel T range as listed, and in many cases the same base engine was shared across several Mercedes model years, body styles and even neighbouring brands under badge-engineering arrangements. Please confirm the exact engine code stamped on the block, the year of your vehicle, and the ECU/wiring variant against our compatibility notes before ordering to guarantee a correct fit, and feel free to contact our team with your VIN for a fitment check prior to purchase.
