Most common problems:

Brake fluid leak

Brake fluid leaks can occur in the Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) system, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

Overheating

In-line configurations can sometimes suffer from cooling issues, especially under heavy load or in hot climates, leading to engine overheating.

Misfiring

A 4-cylinder engine might experience misfiring due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Timing chain issues

Mercedes-Benz engines, including the one in the 2017 SLC-Class, might have issues with the timing chain, causing rough running or engine damage if not addressed.

Turbocharger problems

If equipped with a turbocharger, the engine might experience issues with the turbo, such as oil leaks or bearing wear.

Fuel system problems

Fuel pump or fuel filter issues can lead to poor engine performance or stalling.

Oil leaks

Common in many vehicles, oil leaks can occur around the valve cover gasket or oil pan gasket, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.

Transmission issues

Although not directly related to the engine, Mercedes-Benz vehicles can sometimes have transmission issues, such as rough shifting or failure, which can affect overall performance.

Electronic control unit (ecu) problems

Issues with the ECU can lead to various engine performance problems, including poor fuel economy and reduced power.
