V-shaped engines like the M177 can be prone to oil leaks from the valve covers and other seals due to their complex design
Timing chain issues
The M177 engine has been known to experience premature timing chain wear, which can lead to serious engine damage if not addressed
Carbon build-up
Direct fuel injection engines, including the M177, can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel economy
Turbocharger failure
Turbocharged engines, like the M177, can experience turbocharger failures due to high operating temperatures and pressures
Coolant leaks
The complex cooling systems in modern engines, including the M177, can develop leaks at various points, such as the water pump or radiator
Electrical issues
Advanced electronic systems in modern vehicles, like the 2021 E-Class, can suffer from electrical problems that affect engine performance and drivability
Fuel injector problems
Direct fuel injection systems can experience issues with fuel injectors becoming clogged or failing, leading to poor engine performance
