Problems:

Oil leaks

Many older Mercedes-Benz engines, including the inline-6 in the 1991 300 model, are prone to oil leaks from various seals and gaskets.

Head gasket failure

The head gasket in these engines can fail, leading to coolant and oil mixing, which can cause overheating and serious engine damage.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain and its tensioners can wear out, leading to noisy operation and, in severe cases, timing chain failure which can cause extensive engine damage.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or failing fuel injectors can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and rough idling.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum leaks can cause a variety of issues including rough idling, stalling, and poor acceleration.

Cooling system issues

Older models can develop leaks in the radiator, water pump, or hoses, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

Worn spark plugs

Worn or fouled spark plugs are common in older engines and can cause misfires, poor acceleration, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Mass air flow (maf) sensor failure

A failing MAF sensor can cause poor performance, stalling, and poor fuel economy.
