Problems:
Oil leaks
The V-shaped engine configuration in the 2004 Mercedes-Benz C-Class can be prone to oil leaks, particularly from valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.
Timing chain issues
Over time, the timing chain in this model can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Cooling system failures
The cooling system, including the radiator and water pump, can develop issues that may lead to overheating, especially in older models.
Mass air flow sensor failure
The MAF sensor in the 2004 C-Class can fail, causing rough idling, poor acceleration, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Spark plug and ignition coil problems
Misfires and rough running can occur due to worn spark plugs or failing ignition coils in the V6 engine.
Camshaft adjuster solenoid issues
These solenoids can fail, leading to issues with the variable valve timing system, which impacts engine performance.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
This can cause the engine to stall or not start at all, and is a common issue in older models.
Egr valve problems
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can get clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Fuel pump failure
The fuel pump may fail over time, causing the engine to sputter or not start.
