Complete Specifications
Known Issues for This Vehicle
Turbocharger failure
Turbochargers in high-performance engines like the M139 can fail due to the high stress and heat they endure, leading to decreased performance and potential engine damage.
Oil leaks
High-performance engines are prone to oil leaks, which can occur from gaskets, seals, or oil pan. These leaks can lead to significant engine damage if not addressed.
Timing chain issues
The timing chain in the M139 engine can wear out or become misaligned, causing poor engine performance or even engine failure if it breaks.
Fuel injector problems
Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) systems can suffer from clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors, leading to rough idling, misfires, or poor fuel economy.
Cooling system failures
High-performance engines generate a lot of heat, which can overwhelm the cooling system, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.
Sensor failures
Modern engines rely on various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensors) for optimal performance. Failure of these sensors can cause the engine to run inefficiently or trigger the check engine light.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the M139 can develop carbon deposits on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
Transmission problems
The GLA-Class, equipped with a high-performance engine, may experience transmission issues such as rough shifting or transmission failure due to the increased power and torque.
Software and ecu issues
Modern engines rely heavily on electronic control units (ECUs). Software glitches or ECU failures can lead to various engine performance issues.
Exhaust system problems
High-performance engines can cause excessive wear on exhaust components, leading to exhaust leaks, increased emissions, or noise issues.
