Mercedes-Benz W177 W118 M260 Camshaft - Used Original Parts

Diagnosis and Common Symptoms

From a technician's perspective, camshaft failure in the M260 engine presents a clear diagnostic pattern. The primary indicator is a persistent Check Engine Light, often accompanied by driveability issues. You will observe a noticeably rough idle, engine hesitation under load, and a significant loss of power as the valve timing deviates from its specified parameters. An audible ticking or light knocking sound from the upper engine, particularly on cold starts, is a mechanical giveaway of lobe wear or phaser issues.

Diagnostic scans will typically reveal fault codes related to timing correlation and camshaft position. Be alert for:

• P0016 / P0017: Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation
• P0341 / P0366: Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
• P0300 - P0304: Misfire codes, resulting from incorrect valve events.
• P0011 / P0014: Camshaft Position Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance

Failure to address these symptoms can lead to cascading engine damage.
