Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) not available

The vehicle lacks a dynamic brake support system, which can assist with emergency braking by amplifying braking force.

Engine complexity

The V-shaped, 8-cylinder configuration with direct fuel injection and turbocharging (AM-7, TC) can make the engine more complex and potentially more prone to issues related to fuel delivery, turbocharging, and overall maintenance.

High power output

With an engine brake horsepower (hp) of 469, high-performance engines like this are more susceptible to wear and tear, and components may require more frequent servicing and replacement.

Manufacturer-specific parts

Being manufactured by Daimler, parts and servicing could be more costly and less readily available compared to more common engines.

Advanced technology

The inclusion of direct fuel injection and other advanced technologies may lead to potential issues with fuel injectors, high-pressure fuel pumps, and related components.

Turbocharger wear

Turbocharged engines are prone to issues such as turbo lag, turbo failure, and increased engine temperatures, which can affect overall engine longevity.

Fuel efficiency concerns

High-performance engines like the M178, especially with direct fuel injection, can be less fuel-efficient and more prone to carbon buildup within the engine.

Maintenance frequency

High-performance and complex engines generally require more frequent maintenance intervals, including oil changes, spark plug replacements, and other routine checks.
