The gasket on the timing chain tensioner is a frequent source of oil leaks. This can lead to decreased oil pressure for the tensioner, causing chain rattle.
- Rear Subframe CorrosionSerious
Like the W204, the rear subframe can corrode badly enough to fail an MOT and require full replacement.
- Airmatic Air Suspension LeaksSerious
Higher-spec cars with air suspension can sag or throw warnings once bags and compressors age.
