Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, such as the M276, can develop oil leaks at the valve cover gaskets, timing cover, and oil pan. These leaks can lead to oil loss and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Timing chain issues
The M276 engine may experience timing chain wear or failure, which can cause poor engine performance, noise, and potentially severe engine damage if the chain breaks.
Carbon build-up
Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) engines like the M276 can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, leading to reduced performance, misfires, and poor fuel economy.
Coolant leaks
The M276 engine may develop coolant leaks from the water pump or thermostat housing, leading to overheating and potential engine damage if not repaired.
Misfires
Faulty ignition coils or spark plugs can cause misfires in the M276 engine, leading to rough running, poor performance, and increased emissions.
Turbocharger problems
If the GLS-Class is equipped with a turbocharged version of the M276, issues such as turbocharger failure or boost leaks can arise, leading to reduced power and performance.
