| Description of the problem | When the vehicle is stationary, it takes four clicks to turn over. After turnover, it idles rough, and makes a rattle noise around 1500 rpm. Mercedes ran a diagnostic and said it was a p034062 code and recommended replacing camshaft adjusters and camshaft adjuster magnet and seals. The cost was $4500. This is a very common problem in these mercedes and i believe their should be a recall as this could cause engine damage while driving or pose a significant safety issue. |
