Check engine light came on. Mercedes dealership stated that the cam solenoid failed, which caused oil to leak to other components of the engine that needed to be replaced including engine wiring harness, control unit, solenoid, position sensor, oxygen sensor, lambda probe and injectors. Car was just at dealership at the end of March/April due to misfire and check engine light. No mention of damage or leakage. Premature failure on part.
My vehicle has a cam seal leak that leaked oil into the wiring harness and wiring harness and other components need to be replaced -- the bill is $10,800 --- this cam seal was a recall issue for the c class and from what I read seems to be the same or similar issue --- not an ordinary wear and tear issue - this is should be a recall issue and mercedes should fix -- the check engine light came in and they said engine would not have started and I would have been stranded -- it is currently being fixed at the dealer at my expense.
