I have a 2004 E200 Kompressor, with full service history. I experienced two major engine failures on the vehicle. On 88901 (400km after a major service) the timing chain strectched. Approximately 35 000 km later (124 500km), catalytic converter replaced, followed by low compression on cylinder no 2, turning out to be a broken piston. My understanding from various mercedes benz dealers: "they have never heard of this before". Please advise regarding the cause for one out of 4 pistons to fail. Kind regards Nolan dominick

According to what you say, broke the timing chain, it may be that you have bent a valve in that cylinder, it is advisable to disassemble the cylinder head , To make sure of that

SOURCE: Dome or Dish Pistons for Mazda FE3N 2L

The dome pistons will provide higher compression than the dished. the domed ones should have an eyebrow cut out for the valves. I believe you would be happiest going with the domes. you might run into spark knock with the increased compression

your O2 sensor up stream is gone and the engine is sucking air probably your pcv valve hose and is sucking oil straight into head and out D tail pipe! you have some good looking over to do on this by the sounds of it but do you notice oil missing a lot or do you bother to check and I would do a compression check on it before I spend any more cash on it!!! so start with compression test! see specks on line for suggested test pounds 145 pound per cylinder???net

SOURCE: 03 kia rio-24000 km.will valves hit piston if belt breaks?

yep valves will hit piston if timing belt brake.timing belt keep your valves and piston timed.when intake valves and exhaust valve open.piston is on down stroke.the timing belt keep pistons and valves from colliding.your timing belt change is due at 60000 miles.but in some cases belt need to be inspect at 30000 miles.to be on the safe side.

Try leaving the dress up cover over the coil packs off. It may be engine heat. Also check alternator voltage is not over 14.6 volt when engine running at fast idle. You are not alone with this problem.

i do feel you are being given a bit of the stuff that comes from bulls here,the odd bit of plastic entering the cylinders would only melt then burn away ,i had trucks **** the air filter in before now and only had to remove the inlet manifold to get teh last few bits out .No i would take it to another garage and get them to have a look ,i think it could be the erg valve and /or something in the inlet manifold blocking the air flow .
