Known issues and risks
Listed from most frequently reported, each with its source.
SCR/AdBlue system and NOx sensor faults
Often reported
The complex SCR (AdBlue dosing) system and related NOx sensors can cause errors or faults in the 2.0 diesel version: dosing errors, out-of-tolerance sensors, or urea injector nozzle failures can trigger dashboard warning lights, power restrictions, or require intervention.
Exhaust Emissions
DPF clogging and incomplete regenerations
Often reported
In the 2.0 diesel OM654 engine of the 300 d (269 HP) version, DPF clogging can occur, especially with city driving and short distances. Passive regenerations often fail, and forced regeneration or professional cleaning may be required.
Exhaust Emissions
EGR valve and actuator cracking/clogging
Often reported
In the 2.0 OM654 engine, the EGR valve and actuators can accumulate soot and carbon; this can lead to faults, the engine warning light coming on, and performance loss. In some cases, mechanical actuators fail or stick, requiring deep cleaning or replacement.
Exhaust Emissions
Injection system / high-pressure component issues
Often reported
In the 2.0 OM654 engine, issues with the injection system, including piezo injectors and the high-pressure network, have been reported. Symptoms include rough running and power loss; intervention may be required on the pump or injectors. These components are sensitive to fuel quality.
