Chronology
Predecessor Mercedes-Benz M121 engine
Successor Mercedes-Benz M102 engine

The M115 engine family was a straight-4 automobile engine from Mercedes-Benz that was produced during the 1970s. This engine was a successor from the M121 and was replaced by the M102 engine. This engine is modified from the M121 by adding a five-bearing crankshaft. [2] The same engine was produced in several versions with differing volume, compression, and horse power according to its application.

Designed to replace the VG series, the all-aluminium 4-valve per cylinder DOHC design debuted with Nissan's EGI/ECCS sequential multi-point fuel injection (MPFI) system. Changes from the VG engine include switching to a timing chain from a timing belt, and relocating the water pump from the outside of the engine to inside the timing cover where the pump is driven by the timing chain. Later versions featured various improvements, such as variable valve timing, and NEO-Di designated VQ engines replace MPFI with direct fuel injection.
