2015 GLA 45 AMG - Cam Cradle Re-Seal?

I took my car (X156 - M133 engine) to the shop and they told me the engine was leaking.



they recommend a cam cradle re-seal. Is this normal or has anybody had this issue before? they mentioned if not taken care it would be worse with the time...

Not sure what the shop means by "leaking"? What did the shop say was leaking? If it's oil, that's definitely a big problem. You might also want to post your question in the forum section that's specifically for the GLA 45 AMG. You can find it by scrolling down the main forum page.

they mentioned the engine at the fuel injectors looked like it had some leaks… at that is why they recommend what I mentioned.

i am pretty new and novice with this so that is why I am trying to get some feedback if it is a common problem or some other can give their input. Thank you

You still haven't specified what the shop said is leaking. You need to be more specific as to what is leaking. If it's the fuel injectors, is it leaking fuel? Do you smell gasoline? Is your gas mileage going down? You're probably better of posting your questions in the section of the forum that's specifically for the GLA 45AMG. The participants in that section of the forum also own the GLA 45AMG. They can probably better advise you.
