Hi all!
Just a query on behalf of a friend interested in a 460 series G wagen. He is most likely in need of a 5 door version + an automatic (if that makes a difference to engine availability), and would like to know which engine is considered the best in terms of reliability/serviceability/maintenance/torque. From Wikipedia there is apparently everything from a 2.3 I4 to a 3.0 I5 and everything in between! 4WD is preferable, and occasional off road use as he lives in deepest darkest Surrey!
Many Thanks,
Tim

For the 460 series the auto with a diesel can be best described as slow
A petrol auto 280 series would be better if sticking to a 460 series

A 463 series would be a much better choice imho, but more money.

Have a read on here, (buying advice) plenty of info without having to join

Cheers, will have a read, 280 petrol seems like a good bet, much appreciated!
