The timing chain can stretch or wear out over time, leading to poor engine performance or even engine failure if not addressed.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum leaks can cause rough idling, stalling, and poor fuel economy, which are common issues in older Mercedes-Benz models.
Cooling system failures
Components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat may fail, leading to overheating problems.
Fuel injector issues
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing a loss of power and poor fuel economy.

Older vehicles often suffer from electrical issues, such as failing sensors, ignition components, or wiring harness problems.
Head gasket failure
The head gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks, overheating, and potential engine damage.
