Consumer Description
HELLO, THIS IS A FLAW IN THE MERCEDES M271 ENGINE. AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILAGE THE CAMSHAFT AND TIMING CHAIN HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING IN MOST MERCEDES C250 CARS. THE DEALER IS ASKING $4400 FOR THE REPAIR, AND MERCEDES DID A RECALL ON IT YEARS AGO THE CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER SOLENOID IS VERY FAULTY AS IT HAPPENS TO MOST C250 VEHICLE OWNERS. EVER SINCE IT HAPPENED TO MY OWN CAR EVERY TIME I START IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. THE CHECK ENGINE STAYS ON EVERY DAY, SOMETIMES IT'LL GO IN LIMP MODE AND I WOULD CAREFULLY TAKE THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY.
