Q&A
Q1: How do I confirm I have the M274.910 engine?
Check your VIN data card, it will list the engine code. M274.910 is the 2.0T longitudinal four used in many C, E and GLC models.
Q2: Do I need coding after replacement?
Coding is usually not required. Clear any fault codes and verify operating temperature with a scan tool.
Q3: Which coolant should I use?
Use Mercedes coolant that meets MB 325.x Specification, mixed to the correct ratio for your climate.
Q4: Should I change anything else at the same time?
Consider a full coolant service and inspect hoses, clamps and plastic fittings, replace any brittle parts.
Condition: New aftermarket replacement part. Not an original Mercedes-Benz part; brand and model names are used only to show fitment.
