Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older Mercedes-Benz engines, particularly around valve covers and oil pan gaskets.

Engine misfire

Often caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors in V6 engines.

Overheating

Could be due to a failing thermostat, water pump, or radiator issues.

Timing chain issues

Wear and elongation over time can cause poor engine performance or engine failure.

Vacuum leaks

Can lead to rough idling and poor acceleration, often from degraded hoses or gaskets.

Mass air flow (maf) sensor failure

Can cause engine to run rich or lean, affecting performance and fuel economy.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

May cause stalling, no start condition, or erratic engine behavior.
