Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the A 190 engine.

Engine A 190, used in the Brabus A 2.2 (114kW) from 1999–2004, commonly faces issues like oil leaks, timing chain wear, and sensor failures. Diagnose oil leaks by inspecting valve cover gaskets and oil pan seals; replace as needed. Timing chain noise or rough idling suggests chain tensioner or guide wear—address promptly to avoid engine damage. Faulty sensors (e.g., MAF or oxygen sensors) cause poor performance; use a diagnostic scanner to identify and replace them. Prevent problems with regular oil changes using manufacturer-recommended oil and timely maintenance. Keeping the cooling system in good condition also helps prevent overheating-related engine issues.
