Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Often caused by worn gaskets or seals, which are common in older engines like the 2003 MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class.

Coolant leaks

These can occur due to deteriorated hoses, a failing water pump, or a compromised radiator, leading to overheating.

Misfires

Caused by issues such as faulty spark plugs, bad ignition coils, or fuel delivery problems.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or the tensioner may fail, leading to poor engine performance or even engine damage.

Mass air flow sensor failure

This can lead to poor fuel economy, rough idling, and performance issues.

Electronic throttle control problems

Can result in poor acceleration or sudden loss of power.

Fuel pump failure

This can cause the engine to stall or fail to start.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

This can lead to starting problems or the engine stalling unexpectedly.
