CLS in the shop
Had an 02 sensor replaced and another one failed not five miles after I left the shop. Having that replaced today and discovered another problem: There is oil inside the engine wiring harness due to cam position sensors that are letting the oil get by in the connector. That was from one of the shop guys. Having that fixed too.....all in it's going to run me about 1700 or so for parts and labor.
Any input welcome.

Had to have all 4 cam sensors replaced, thankfully none got into the ECU, oil did get into the wiring harness but wasn't as bad as they've seen in the past.......visit cost was 1300 and that included another 02 sensor. Hope this info helps anyone else in this situation.

Upcoming work:
Brake flush
Replace spark plugs
AND
Reseal the engine timing cover, right front engine cover due to very minor leak.......
Could that be why my car has been running a little hotter? Only about 9-12 degree's hotter, but I def notice it on the temp gauges......

Similar problem
I have a 2014 CLS63 AWD with 30k miles and Renntech tune. Unfortunately I had a misfire issue a few days ago. When I took the car in the mechanic found a fouled out spark plug. I could have replace only 1x but I decided to do them all at once. 3 days later and almost six hundred bucks short my car CEL came on again. I checked the code myself this time and it reads P2099 which is O2 sensor. I’m wondering if this may be caused due to resonator delete / possible exhaust leak. However, I don’t know why this would just now be an issue after almost a year since the delete.
