Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
Issues with the DBS system can lead to reduced braking efficiency and safety concerns.
Engine misfire
This can be caused by ignition system failures, fuel system issues, or sensor malfunctions specific to the M256 engine.
Oil leaks
Common in V-shaped engines, oil leaks can occur around seals, gaskets, or the oil pan.
Cooling system problems
Issues such as radiator leaks, faulty water pumps, or thermostat failures can cause the engine to overheat.
Turbocharger failure
Turbocharger problems can result in power loss, increased emissions, and unusual noises.
Timing chain issues
Timing chain stretch or failure can lead to engine misalignment and potential engine damage.
Direct fuel injection (dfi) system faults
Problems with the DFI system can cause poor fuel economy, rough idling, and increased emissions.
Electronic control unit (ecu) problems
The ECU may develop faults that affect engine performance, fuel efficiency, or emissions.
Dfi carbon buildup
Carbon deposits can accumulate on intake valves and other parts, leading to reduced engine performance and efficiency.
Sensor failures
Faulty sensors (such as MAF, O2, or camshaft position sensors) can cause various engine performance issues and trigger the check engine light.
MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class 2020
