Previous model: M 130 / 114
Successor: M 103

The M 110 is a DOHC - series - six-cylinder - petrol engine from Mercedes-Benz , which was built from 1972 to 1989 in car of the brand. It replaced the M 130 with mechanical Bosch injection and is the last development stage of the "basic engine" M 180 , which was presented in 1951 in the 220 model . Except for the modified block, it no longer bears any resemblance to its ancestor.

The main difference lies in the cross-flow cylinder head made of aluminum, two camshafts and hemispherical combustion chambers, which were introduced in order to be able to position themselves better against competitive vehicles such as the BMW 2800 and the Opel Commodore . Because of this and the use of the Bosch D-Jetronic , the M 110 has an output of 18 kW / 25 PS (from 118 kW / 160 to 136 kW / 185 PS) more than its predecessor M 130 with the same displacement.

history

The engine was presented in the small series / 8 or W 114 in April 1972, the new S-Class was available with it from the beginning (September 1972). From August 1974 it was offered in the SL in addition to the V8 engines. In the G-model , the M 110 was the top engine until 1989. When the decision to mass-produce the M 110 was made in 1971, its successor was already in development. This M 103 engine should actually be presented in 1976 with the 123 series . In the event that it would not be ready by then, the board approved the M 110 for the transition period. However, the M 103 was only introduced in 1984 in the 124 series, and so a five-year provisional solution became a standard for 17 Years.

technology

The M 110 engine has an engine block made of gray cast iron and a crankshaft with seven bearings . It is the first series engine from Daimler-Benz with two overhead camshafts. The V-shaped hanging valves are operated by rocker arms.

Together with the eight-cylinder M 116 V-engine in the 350 series (SL, SLC and SE), which was modernized in 1971 , the M 110 engine in its injection version is also the second Mercedes engine generation with electronic injection technology (Bosch D-Jetronic ); the first Mercedes engine with this injection was the 250CE / 8 from 1969. The previously built injection engines at Mercedes are all mechanically controlled. From 1976 the M 110 was built with the mechanical-hydraulic Bosch K-Jetronic .

Due to the lower moving masses and the better mass balance, the M 110 had become more speed-resistant than its predecessors. The noisy aluminum of the cylinder head and the large number of moving parts such as rocker arms and a guide of the duplex timing chain via a pulley result in strange ticking and clacking noises. The M 110 engines are therefore nicknamed the " Schellenbaum engine".

The structure of the engine with oil sump, cylinder block, cylinder head, camshaft case and valve cover requires a large number of seals.

The motors are more revving and can withstand high speeds over a long period of time. Earlier MB six-cylinder engines were previously criticized for their slowness and reluctance to run at high speeds. This criticism silenced Mercedes-Benz with this engine. In the lower speed range one expects more torque, but in the upper range one is compensated with respectable driving performance. With a specific output of 49.5 kW / l (67.4 PS / l), the 280 E / 8 is over 200 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds.

At first the engine type M 110 was built for the parallel models 280 and 280 S (without the "E") with double register carburetor Solex 4A1 (that means without injection system). These carburettor engines quickly fell into disrepute because of their high consumption. The injectors consistently consume around two to three liters less petrol and, depending on the type, also produce 15 to 21 kW more.

meaning

The engine type M 110 is the last and, with the 136 kW (185 hp) models, also the most powerful model of the in-line six-cylinder design concept launched in 1951 for the Mercedes 220 model with the M 180 engine . With a construction period of more than 30 years, it is one of the most successful and longest lasting of all engine families. In 2007 hundreds of thousands of these engines were still on the roads of the world. With its 2.8 liter capacity, which is sufficient even for heavy cars, with its easy turning due to the cylinder head with double camshafts and with its smooth running as a well-balanced six-cylinder, it still has pleasant usage properties today. However, it is measured by today's standards with a consumption of min. 12 liters per 100 km no longer an economical engine. The exhaust gas values ​​are also only acceptable when operated with a catalytic converter. In many oldtimers and youngtimers in various countries, however, the engine continues to enjoy great popularity due to its reliability and power delivery. However , from the point of view of engine specialists and authorized Mercedes-Benz workshops, operating these engines with economical and very clean LPG systems is not recommended, as the valve seats of this engine series are sufficiently hardened for operation with unleaded petrol, but not for operation with LPG are. However, by using a fuel or gas additive, the valve seat lubrication reduced by gas operation and the higher combustion temperatures at the valves can be compensated for.
