The 2.0 d (Mercedes OM654) engine was fitted to the Mercedes-Benz GLB (X247) (2019–now). In the EU that is 69.2 % of all new cars of this generation.
Versions: 2.0 150 hp, 2.0 190 hp, 2.0 116 hp.
The most expensive known risk is exhaust-side roller rocker arms wear (ticking, rough idle): it usually appears at 60,000–250,000 km and costs €1,500–3,000 to fix.
✓ The faults of this engine were checked against sources (10/2026). Each item has at least two independent sources or an official recall or parts-maker technical note.
Signs: AdBlue or emissions warning with a countdown in km; if ignored, the engine will not restart; NOx sensor codes, sometimes limp mode
Fix: Read the codes at once; check for Mercedes SCR software updates, then test and replace the faulty NOx sensor, pump / heater or dosing valve
Signs: DPF warning, frequent or interrupted regenerations, reduced power
Fix: Drive longer runs or run a forced regeneration; check the pressure sensor and EGR first; clean or replace the filter if ash-loaded; use MB 229.52 / 229.71 oil
Signs: Rough idle, power loss, EGR fault codes (P0400 range), regenerations do not finish
Fix: Check EGR position and flow in live data; clean or replace the valve, and the cooler if it is blocked or leaking
Signs: Dull ticking or plopping noise from the top of the engine, rough idle
Fix: Inspect rockers and cam lobes; replace all roller rockers and lash adjusters, and the camshaft housing if the cams are marked
Signs: Slipping, high bite point
Fix: Replace clutch kit
Signs: Rattle at idle, vibration pulling away
Fix: Replace with clutch
Signs: Jerks in traffic, delayed engagement
Fix: Software update; fluid change; mechatronic
Typical routine maintenance cost for 100,000 km: €2,450–5,900. Sum of the services and wear parts in the plan above (about 15,000 km a year, independent workshop), without faults.
