Problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, including those in the 2005 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, can develop oil leaks over time, often from valve cover gaskets or oil pan gaskets.

Timing chain issues

V8 engines can experience timing chain stretch or failure, which can lead to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Misfires

Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors can cause misfires in the V8 engine, leading to rough idling and poor acceleration.

Cooling system problems

The cooling system in the 2005 G-Class may develop leaks or component failures, such as water pumps, thermostats, or radiators, leading to overheating issues.

Mass air flow sensor failure

The MAF sensor in the G-Class can fail or become dirty, causing incorrect air-fuel mixture readings and reduced engine performance.

Vacuum leaks

The complex vacuum system in V8 engines can develop leaks, leading to poor engine performance and potential stalling issues.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause starting issues, misfires, and stalling in the V8 engine.

Fuel pump problems

The fuel pump may fail or become weak over time, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance issues.
