Diesel 5 or 6 Cylinder Engine

02/21/2011 4:08 PM

2006 class b motorhome, Mercedes diesel 5 cylinder engine; verses a 2007 or newer v-6 diesel mercedes engine. Is the 5 cylinder as good an engine for a smaller class b motorhome? Is the older 5 cylinder also louder?

Thanks,

Bob

Why did Mercedes switch from the in line 5 to the V6? Smoother, quieter, more power, lower emissions? Perhaps all or most of the above.

Have you driven both? Try some of the MB forums, and gather their opinions. Good luck.
