Diagnosis:

Use an OBD-II scanner to check for misfire codes such as P0300 series, which indicate ignition coil issues.

Inspect coils visually for cracks, corrosion, o r carbon tracking.

Swap ignition coils between cylinders to see if the misfire follows a specific coil.

Perform a spark test to check coil output.

Replacement:

Ignition coils on the S-Class are generally accessible but require care to avoid damaging connectors.

Always replace faulty coils with OEM o r high-quality aftermarket parts to ensure reliability.

Consider replacing all coils simultaneously if one fails, as others may soon follow, especially in harsh conditions like Pakistan’s heat and dust.

Have the work done by a qualified mechanic familiar with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, especially for newer models with advanced ignition systems.

Finding a reputable service center in Pakistan that specializes in Mercedes-Benz is recommended to ensure proper diagnostics and repairs.
