Is the Check Engine light on, are you hearing strange sounds, or is there smoke coming from the exhaust on a Mercedes with an M156 (6.3) engine? These may be signs of critical faults - shaft wear, coolant leakage, or timing belt problems. Contact MB Master - a specialized Mercedes-AMG service in Kyiv. We perform precise diagnostics, replacement of camshafts, hydraulic compensators, cylinder head bolts, sprockets, and preventive maintenance.
What is the most common technical problem with the Mercedes M156 engine?
1. Oil leak from turbine
2. Camshaft wear
3. Fuel pump failure
4. Intercooler damage
Prevention and recommendations
1 Use only fuel not lower than AI-95
2 Change 0W-40 oil every 7-8 thousand km
3 Check oil and coolant levels regularly
4 Don't ignore extraneous sounds or vibrations - seek diagnostics
5 At a mileage of 100+ thousand km - it is recommended to check the condition of the timing belt
6 For active driving - cooling and inspection of the cylinder heads at least once every 50 thousand km
The naturally aspirated V8 Mercedes M156 engine with a capacity of 6.3 liters was produced from 2006 to 2015 and was installed on the charged AMG models:
This engine is a completely AMG development – the company’s first “independent” engine. The aluminum V8 block, timing chain, DOHC system and the absence of a turbine – everything is aimed at linear power delivery and a characteristic sound. However, the engine is not without problems.
1. Wear of camshafts
Problem: The most well-known and widespread malfunction. Due to design features – a wedge of the plunger pair in hydraulic compensators – the load on the shafts increases, which leads to their wear.
How to fix: We perform comprehensive diagnostics and replacement of worn shafts, and also update hydraulic compensators.
2. Valve spring compression
Problem: In some cases, due to improper operation of the mechanism, the valves “fly out” and can damage the piston.
How to fix: It is recommended to replace the valve guides, crackers and check the cylinder-piston group at a service center.
3. Problems with head bolts
Problem: Before 2011, the cylinder head bolts were made of low-quality alloy, which led to corrosion and antifreeze leakage.
How to fix: We replace the main bolts with original updated ones with high corrosion resistance.
4. Rapid wear of camshaft sprockets
Problem: All engines before 2015 have this disease – the sprockets wear out prematurely.
How to fix: We have the necessary equipment for precise replacement of sprockets without removing the engine.
