Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) issues
Problems with the DBS system can include failure to activate during emergency braking, false activation, or software glitches that may require an update or reconfiguration.
Excessive engine noise
A V-shaped engine with 6 cylinders, like the V35A-FTS, can sometimes produce excessive noise due to worn-out components, improper lubrication, or exhaust system issues.
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines are prone to oil leaks, which can stem from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals and gaskets wearing out over time.
Turbocharger problems
The V35A-FTS engine (often turbocharged) may experience issues like turbo lag, reduced power output, or turbo failure due to wear and tear or insufficient maintenance.
Cooling system failures
Complex V-shaped engines can suffer from cooling system issues such as radiator leaks, thermostat failures, or water pump malfunctions, leading to overheating.
Fuel system issues
Engines with both port and direct fuel injection systems might encounter fuel delivery problems, injector clogging, or high-pressure fuel pump failures.
Ignition system malfunctions
Problems such as misfires, poor starting, or rough idling can occur due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or wiring issues.
Timing chain/belt problems
Timing components in V-shaped engines can wear out, leading to stretched chains or belts, which can cause poor engine performance or even engine damage.
Emission control system failures
Issues with the catalytic converter, EGR valve, or oxygen sensors can lead to increased emissions and potential failure to meet regulatory standards.
Sensor and electronic issues
Modern engines like the V35A-FTS rely heavily on electronic sensors and control units, which can fail or produce erroneous readings, affecting overall engine performance.

Oil leaks
Common in V-shaped engines due to the complex sealing surfaces, especially in a high-performance engine like the M157.
Turbocharger issues
The M157 engine uses twin-turbochargers, which can suffer from wear and tear, leading to reduced performance or failure.
Timing chain problems
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or the tensioners can fail, leading to engine misfires or more serious damage.
Cooling system issues
High-performance engines generate a lot of heat, so cooling system components like radiators and water pumps may fail prematurely.
Injector problems
Direct fuel injection systems can develop issues with the fuel injectors, leading to poor fuel economy and engine performance.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the M157 can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, which can cause rough idling and reduced performance.
Electrical issues
Complex modern vehicles like the 2019 G-Class may experience various electrical problems, including issues with sensors and control modules.
Transmission problems
Automatic transmissions in high-performance vehicles can suffer from wear and tear, leading to shifting issues or failure.

Problems:

Oil leaks
V-shaped engines can sometimes develop oil leaks due to the complex shape and the number of seals and gaskets involved.
Misfiring cylinders
With 8 cylinders, misfiring can happen due to issues like spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Timing chain issues
Daimler engines, particularly in high-performance models like this, sometimes face timing chain stretch or failure.
Turbocharger problems
High-performance engines often use turbochargers, which can fail or require maintenance due to the high stress they are under.
Cooling system failures
The complexity and power of the engine can put a lot of strain on the cooling system, leading to potential overheating issues.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, impacting performance and fuel efficiency.
Fuel system issues
High-performance engines can have fuel system issues such as clogged injectors or failing fuel pumps.
Sensor failures
Modern engines rely on numerous sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAF sensors) that can fail or give incorrect readings, leading to performance issues.
Exhaust system problems
The high-performance nature of the engine can lead to quicker wear and tear on exhaust components, including catalytic converters and mufflers.
Crankcase ventilation issues
Problems with the crankcase ventilation system can lead to excessive oil consumption and engine sludge.
