►If you have a Mercedes M272 or M273 engine and you've noticed a strong odor of burning oil while driving or after coming to a stop, there's a strong chance that the cam plugs on the back of your engine have failed. When the seals on these plugs fail, they drip oil onto the hot exhaust, causing a strong burning oil smell. The issue is common with all M272 and M273 vehicles, like the E350, C350, C280, and GLK350. Luckily, replacing your Mercedes camshaft plugs is a relatively simple fix and a great DIY project for any mildly experienced wrench.

In this video, FCP Euro Mercedes Expert Danny Kruger shows you how to check for cam plug leaks and walks you through cam plug replacement on an M272 engine in a W203 C350.
