My car is a 2010 imported short-axle E200. So far, it has traveled 170,000 kilometers. In the first eight years of use, there were no problems other than routine maintenance. After nine years, problems began to appear one after another. First, the oil filter base leaked oil. Not long after the replacement, the front boom of the thermostat was replaced, and the battery was replaced for 150,000 kilometers. After 50,000 kilometers of original Pirelli tires were worn out, the first set of Chaoyang tires was used for 100,000 kilometers. Currently, the second set has been used for 20,000 kilometers. The condition was very good. There was a start delay in early October, and the fault light was turned on again. I felt that the camshaft problem was still unavoidable. I replaced the sensor first, and the light was turned on again a week later. I decided to replace the camshaft sprocket. I immediately searched for the forum posts to find out the accessories to be replaced. I saw the big post of tzy852286 and felt that it would be very beneficial to motorists. So I contacted tzy852286 and purchased all the replacement accessories with his assistance. The price is really very affordable. I started looking for a garage to replace parts. During this period, I encountered many people who were unwilling to bring their own parts and only earn working hours. Finally, I finally found a garage near the Auto Parts City that was willing to bring their own parts to replace and replace the camshaft chain wheel. It is recommended that you find a garage with replacement experience to avoid problems. The replacement time is about 6-7 hours. Currently, you have traveled more than 600 kilometers without any problems. I would like to thank tzy852286 again for your great help.
