FAQ

1. What are common M274 intake camshaft wear symptoms?

Typical M274 intake camshaft wear symptoms can include ticking noise from the top of the engine, rough idle, loss of power and VVT-related fault codes detected during diagnosis. These issues may be associated with Mercedes M274 camshaft failure when combined with oil quality problems or extended service intervals.

2. When should the M274 intake camshaft be replaced?

The intake camshaft should be considered for replacement when abnormal wear on lobes is visible, there is excessive play, or when diagnostic procedures confirm M274 intake camshaft failure related to timing or valve lift. Replacement is also recommended if ticking noise from the camshaft area persists after verifying lubrication, chain and tensioner condition.

3. What’s the difference between OEM and aftermarket M274 intake camshafts?

Our aftermarket intake camshaft 2740500401 is manufactured to match OEM specifications in terms of materials, dimensions and performance. The primary difference is pricing—aftermarket options offer significant cost savings (typically 30-50% less) whilst maintaining quality standards through ISO-certified manufacturing processes.

4. Is the camshaft compatible with the original VVT system?

Yes, this VVT compatible camshaft is engineered specifically for the M274 intake side and can be used with the original cam phaser and timing components, provided they are in good working condition. Correct installation and timing procedures must be followed according to workshop guidelines.
