The cylinder head controls the exchange of gases through the intake and exhaust ducts. A faulty cylinder head may lead to oil leaks, smoke, low coolant levels, and poor engine performance. You may see the given slideshow to know more about the symptoms indicating a faulty cylinder head in your Mercedes.

1. G

2. A cylinder head is a
closed end of a cylinder
that is located in your
Mercedes car's internal
combustion engine.

3. It is found on the top
portion of the engine
block, above the pistons
in the combustion
chamber.

4. The cylinder head
accommodates the key
components for
mechanical control of the
gas exchange such as the
intake and exhaust ducts
for charge exchange
process and valves.

5. The cylinder head is one
of the more complex
components of an engine
whose function includes
sealing the combustion
chamber as well as
absorbing the
combustion power.

6. It is also responsible for
supplying the moving
components of the valve
train.

7. Here are some of the
main symptoms of a
faulty cylinder head in
your Mercedes.

8. Oil leaks

9. The cylinder head
consists of oil and when
there is a crack, you may
find oil leaking out.

10. Consequently, this will
make the oil light turn on
and you need to check
the engine & look to see
if there is oil around the
cylinder head.

11. Smoke

12. A sure sign of a cracked
cylinder head is exhaust
gases leaking into the
cylinder head, which
causes smoke in the
engine.

13. If you have this problem
in your Mercedes, it is
likely a severe crack and
should be repaired as
soon as possible.

14. Low coolant
levels

15. Each cylinder is
surrounded by coolant.
In the case of crack, you
may notice coolant at
the seam of the cylinder
head, in addition to oil.

16. Due to coolant leaks, the
cylinder heads are at the
forefront of the thermal
stress. As a result, the
metal parts will warp
and crack.

17. Poor engine
performance

18. Poor engine performance
is the first indication of a
crack in a cylinder head.
When this is the case,
you will notice the
engine isn’t running as it
should because of low
compression.

19. In Mercedes cars,
compression is essential
for combustion engines
to burn fuel efficiently.

21. There are also other symptoms of a faulty cylinder head in your Mercedes such
as:
Bubbles in the radiator Too much steam in the
exhaust
Moisture under the oil filler cap
Burnt spark plugsEngine misfires
