Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines like the M178 can be prone to oil leaks due to the complex sealing surfaces between the cylinder heads and block.
Carbon buildup
Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) engines often experience carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can affect performance.
Turbocharger issues
The turbocharger (TC) in the AMG GT can suffer from wear and tear, leading to reduced performance or failure.
Timing chain wear
High-performance engines like the M178 are susceptible to timing chain stretch or wear, which can cause misalignment and performance issues.
Cooling system problems
The high output of the M178 engine can strain the cooling system, leading to potential overheating issues.
Fuel injector failures
The DFI system relies on high-performance fuel injectors, which can become clogged or fail over time.
Exhaust system failures
The AMG GT's high-performance exhaust system can suffer from cracks or leaks due to extreme temperatures and stress.
Engine mount wear
The powerful V8 engine can cause rapid wear of engine mounts, leading to increased vibrations and noise.
