2014 Mercedes-Benz E350
Mileage103,508Service Date6/12/2025Services Performed- The check engine light has come back on following a recent service in which the spark plugs and ignition coils were replaced. Upon inspection, the vehicle displayed codes indicating a lean fuel mixture on both sides of the engine. Further diagnostic testing, including a smoke test, revealed an air leak related to the crankcase ventilation system. On closer examination, it was determined that the intake manifold gaskets were inadvertently pinched during the previous repair, allowing unmetered air to enter the engine and triggering the warning light. To resolve this issue, the intake manifold gaskets will be replaced under warranty. This will correct the air leak and restore proper engine operation.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
Mileage144,888Service Date6/3/2025Services Performed- Technician could confirm the vibration when braking. Brakes are vibrating from a warped rotor in the front. Not significant enough to cause damage to adjacent components, but the pads and rotors in the front would need to be replaced to correct the condition. Rear brakes are still newer and don't need to be replaced anytime soon.
- Technician found coolant leaking from the radiator cap. Crusted coolant here confirms it's been like this for a while. Need to replace the radiator cap and run the system to ensure the leak in the engine cooling system has stopped. No leaks were found elsewhere. No warning messages for the transmission came up during testing, and trans operation is normal. Continued diagnostics would be needed if the message returns.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E350
Mileage102,959Service Date5/8/2025Services Performed- Found cylinder 6 ignition coil has an intermittent short to ground. Originally believed to be from an internal valve cover leak. Customer approved the labor to remove the air plenum and access the coils. No oil was found on any of the coils. The spark plugs were replaced back in October 2023 but found to be carbon fouled on some of them. Customer approved the replacement of all 6 ignition coils and spark plugs with an induction service in case the carbon fouling is caused from leaking or unevenly distributed fuel from the fuel injectors.
