@davesautocenter: Mercedes AMG Nothing but a slight noise on start up. Customer says it runs hot sometimes, some boost codes. What would you check out first to discover why a dealer said it needs engine? Does it really? #carrepair #mercedesbenz #autoshop

I'd start with compression and leak down test. then check for boost leaks probably failed turbo stuck wastegate or failed bearings in turbo

I used to work at a Benz dealership and the 4 cylinder engines have a fine mesh filter on the thermostat that would get clogged up all the time.

I'd start by taking a close look at the cooling system. are the fans coming on. is there cottonwood in the cooling fins.

As far as the dealer, we already know why they said a new motor.

I’d rule out the wheel speed sensor as a reason to replace the engine 😂

I would try a block test and see if there’s foreign contaminants with the coolant

Dealers don’t want to waste time trying to find the root of the problem my buddy is a shop manager for Audi. He said if they have an engine making

Eli Brown :
Yeah I had to do a compression and leak down first as well. If that didn’t show any problems, I might do your famous Hydro carbon test in the coolant

My guess is the turbo is being starved on start up. That's probably why that only happens initially

I would buy another AMG and start swapping parts until I found the problem then return the new one saying it clashes with my Gucci wallet.

Check intercooler tubing for leaks / boot blown off. Low boost and no cooled charge air incoming.

40 years ago, my boss had a brand new car, it overheated.
They put in a new engine, it continued overheat. It was an electrical problem with the fans.

I’d bet it’s turbo/exhaust related. If that exhaust flap is getting stuck could be causing extra heat. Does it overheat all the time? Possibly H/G

The dealership sells guy a broken car fine. A: Replace entire turbocharger or B: Replace part in the turbocharger

First thing to always do is verify the complaint. It would helpful to record a test drive session with your diagnostic software so you can review it.
