Can You Still Drive with a Faulty Camshaft in a Mercedes-Benz?

[Carmen]

Mercedes-Benz camshaft failure can be driven in the short term, but if not replaced for a long time, it will gradually worsen, leading to stalling on the road and inability to start, significant timing adjustment errors, timing disorder, timing chain breakage, resulting in piston-valve collision and engine failure. The causes of camshaft failure are: 1. Insufficient material strength of the feed chain, excessive wear; 2. Insufficient oil pressure and oil filter return valve. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E260L as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large-sized car category, with body dimensions of: length 5078mm, width 1860mm, height 1484mm, wheelbase 3079mm, and fuel tank capacity of 66l.
