2016 E-400 with 160K miles. Was in for service with a check engine light which came with sluggish acceleration and a rough idle. The car went in the same day as these issues, so its not something I drove around with. I had noticed the acceleration had been intermittently slow in the week preceding the engine error being thrown. Service found purging valve was stuck open and replaced it. Along with that there were two secondary faults found in the ECM - camshaft timing and turbo boosting function. SA advised these were one time faults found but could not confirm if these faults were coincidental with the purge valve issue, and therefore indicative of an additional problem, or could have been caused by the purge valve issue and therefore not something to worry about. Anyone have a similar experience or any thoughts? I'm debating whether to trade this in now or just wait and hope nothing develops.

160k.Mi turbo in for service.
You're asking yourself good questions!!
Drive it to the ground or cash in ?
What is the current residual value ??
... I would let them have it.
MB repairs quickly reach over 2000.USD.

Got a quote on a trade in. Made my decision for me, just run it into the ground.
the 3K they’ll give me’s not worth it. To be honest the cars in excellent condition otherwise and if the turbos never become an issue, I can’t see why I can’t get another 50,000 miles out of it.

Show me the P/N of the PURGING VALVE.
Boosting function if not the turbocharger itself ( usually not turbo ), the supporting devices is not expensive but you must DIY it and have some skill.
Camshaft timing issue will be the most expensive one as it is probably the tone wheel of the camshaft gone off the mark and I hope you do not have VVT rattle too....which these combo will be expensive
even for the parts alone.

Are you ready to put in $2000 repair in a $3000 car ?
Normally the answer is no.
It's a decent decision to quit while you're ahead.

P/N? Sorry it’s early and I haven’t had my coffee yet. This one I can’t figure out.
Aha, that is open/close solenoid for fuel vapor from the tank. It is called Y58/1.
This baby solenoid in itself will not cause boost leak, the duo check valve at the intake manifold must fail in open mode first and this fuel vapor solenoid fail in OPEN mode = boost leak to fuel tank.
