Check engine light on. Test results: Positive Crankcase Ventilation Regulator Valve Performance CODE : P052E
Car check engine light came on with only 62,000 miles. Diagnosed as code P052E, the issue is the positive crankcase ventilation valve being faulty. Regular oil changes and maintenance was done. I see multiple complaints with this issue, why is this not recalled? It is very expensive to have fixed.
My engine light keeps coming on and off on my 2017 C300 4matic coupe. I got the problem diagnosed in March 2023. Benz said I had a faulty solenoid valve and that I would need to replace the crank case ventilation assembly. That is $3000. My friend has a C300 sedan and they replaced his under the extended warranty that came out on August 2023 for the crankcase. I have the same exact issue but they said my VIN doesn’t populate so they cannot do anything. This is the 2nd faulty crank case in my car, it was replaced by warranty in 2019. I don’t drive that much I have 47K miles on the car. They refuse to cover the faulty part.

The contact owns a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact had received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 21V032000 (Seat Belts). The vehicle was taken to a local dealer and the recall repair was performed; however, upon retrieving the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated upon starting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and remained in the dealer possession. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.
Check engine light came on. Error code indicates a PCV crankcase ventilation valve has malfunctioned. Code is P052E. This is a notorious problem with Mercedes, BMW and other European cars. It should also be considered part of the emissions system. Contacting the MB dealers, I cannot get a clear definition whether it is covered by extended warranties or any warranty whatsoever. They are vague as to "maybe, but not sure". I feel that there should be a recall to fix the defective parts involved with this error code.
P502e code crankcase ventilation failure
P052E PCV Regulator Valve Performance
My vehicle started shaking and the check engine light came on. It's a PCV valve
I took my vehicle to the mechanic due to the check engine light been on. The diagnostic came back to be that "The valve for crankcase ventilation has a malfunction. The actuator is blocked." As per mechanic this has to be replace but cost around $ 2,000 plus.
P520E code which is caused by a crankcase ventilation issue. The fix costs upwards of $2000. It seems to be a common issue with Mercedes vehicles with 4 cylinder turbos and should be a recall on this system.
Piston one issue. I bought this car from an auction and according to the record on the car the previous owner had problem with piston one and low compression in that piston. After performing some research it looks like Mercedes’ Benz c300 m274 is riddles with this issue. It’s all over the internet and I don’t know why Mercedes is not taking responsibity for this. This car has less than 70000 miles and the engine is locked from the cylinder. Thank you

I recently had to repair a part of my engine with the code P052E. It specifically was "The Valve for Crankcase Ventilation. It stated it was malfunctioned and that the actuator is blocked. It could have caused my engine to fail and my car to stop at any moment putting myself and others at risk. There is a large amounts of consumers with the same vehicle that complained about the same issue. It was inspected by the Mercedes Benz dealership. The only warning was that my check engine light was on.
