Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support malfunction

The DBS system may fail to activate or provide insufficient braking assistance due to sensor or software issues.

Turbocharger failure

The turbocharger (TC) may experience issues such as bearing wear, oil leaks, or boost pressure loss, affecting engine performance.

Direct fuel injection carbon build-up

DFI systems can lead to carbon deposits on intake valves, reducing engine efficiency and causing misfires.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain in the M256 engine may stretch over time, leading to improper engine timing and potential engine damage.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks can occur in various parts of the cooling system, leading to engine overheating and potential damage.

Electrical system issues

Modern vehicles, including the 2021 E-Class, often face electrical problems that can affect engine performance and other vehicle functions.

Oil consumption

The M256 engine might consume oil at a higher rate, requiring frequent top-ups and monitoring.

Fuel pump failure

The fuel pump may fail or underperform, leading to fuel delivery issues and engine stalling or reduced power.

Ignition coil failure

Faulty ignition coils can cause misfires, rough idling, and poor engine performance.
