Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Mercedes-Benz M276 engine is known to occasionally have oil leaks, particularly around the valve cover gaskets and the oil cooler seals. This can lead to oil loss and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Timing chain issues

Some owners have reported issues with the timing chain, including premature wear and tensioner problems. This can cause noise and, in severe cases, could lead to engine damage if the timing is thrown off.

Turbocharger problems

Given that the engine is turbocharged (TC), there can be issues with the turbocharger over time, such as bearing wear, oil leaks, or loss of boost pressure, which can affect performance.

Carbon build-up

The direct fuel injection (DFI) technology can lead to carbon build-up on the intake valves over time, potentially resulting in reduced engine performance and efficiency.

Cooling system failures

Problems with the cooling system, such as radiator leaks or water pump failures, can occur. These issues can lead to overheating and serious engine damage if not promptly fixed.

Faulty camshaft adjusters

The M276 engine has been known to have issues with camshaft adjusters, which can cause rough idling, poor fuel economy, and a check engine light.
