MB C280
1 Engine Died

Hello everyone,

I have a MB C280. One of the engine died, only 5 are running. I've changed the coil and spark plugs but that didn't fix it. Is there anything else I could've checked?

Thanks.

NO NO..
It is the futalator valve, located next to the third exhaust pipe, slightly to the left semi-trailing brace along the drive shaft.
Hope this helps
