Common in high-performance engines due to higher pressures and temperatures.

High-performance turbochargers can suffer from wear and tear, leading to decreased efficiency or failure.

Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) engines are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, affecting performance.

High-performance engines generate more heat, which can overtax the cooling system, leading to overheating.

High-stress engines can experience accelerated wear on timing chains, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.

High-performance engines with DFI systems can have fuel injector problems, affecting fuel delivery and engine performance.

High-performance engines may experience EGR valve failures due to increased exhaust gas temperatures.

High-output engines can suffer from piston or connecting rod failures due to extreme operating conditions.

High-performance engines often require stronger ignition systems, and ignition coils can fail under stress.

The transmission in a high-performance vehicle like the AMG GT can suffer from issues due to the high power output, especially if not properly maintained.

V-shaped engines, such as the one in the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, can sometimes develop oil leaks at the valve cover gaskets or oil pan gaskets.

The M256 engine uses a timing chain, which can stretch or wear over time, leading to poor engine performance or even engine damage if not addressed.

Turbocharged engines, like the M256, can experience issues such as turbo lag, oil contamination, or turbo failure due to high operating temperatures and pressures.

Direct fuel injection engines are prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.

High-performance engines, like those in the AMG GT, can generate a lot of heat. Issues with the cooling system, such as radiator leaks or water pump failures, can lead to overheating.

The M256 engine may experience ignition coil failures, causing misfires, rough idling, or poor acceleration.

Direct fuel injection systems can suffer from clogged or faulty fuel injectors, leading to rough running, poor fuel economy, and increased emissions.

High-performance vehicles often experience faster wear of engine mounts, leading to increased engine vibrations and noise.

Modern engines rely on various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensors) that can fail and cause performance issues or trigger the check engine light.
