Mercedes-Benz E430 Problems

One or More Instrument Cluster Display May Fail

Average Mileage: 94,500 mi (58,000 mi - 150,000 mi)

Instrument cluster displays tend to fail, especially the clock and gear indicators. Our technicians tell us the instrument cluster will require replacement to correct this issue.

Crank no Start due to Failed Crankshaft Position Sensor

Average Mileage: 140,675 mi (120,000 mi - 183,000 mi)

The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance.

The Differential may develop Leaks from the seals or cover
Model Years Affected: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
Average Mileage: 125,448 mi (89,000 mi - 157,345 mi)

Leaks may develop from the differential cover and/or seals on high mileage or older vehicles. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit if these leaks are addressed.

Squeak in steering column due to rubber boot or seal
Affected: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
Average Mileage: 104,000 mi (60,000 mi - 152,000 mi)

A squeak from the steering column is often related to a rubber boot in the column or a seal in the power steering rack.

Erratic HVAC blower motor operation
Model Years Affected: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002

A malfunctioning HVAC blower motor regulator can cause the blower motor to operate below the requested speed or not at all. Updated regulators are available; the blower motor and cover need to be replaced at the same time to upgrade the system.
