Problems:

Oil leaks

Common in high-performance engines like the M178 due to high pressure and temperature conditions.

Timing chain issues

V-Shaped engines often face wear and tear in timing chains, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.

Turbocharger problems

Turbocharged engines (TC) can suffer from turbo lag, failure, or leaks, impacting performance and efficiency.

Direct fuel injection (dfi) carbon build-up

DFI systems are prone to carbon deposits on intake valves, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Cooling system failures

High-performance engines like the AMG GT's M178 can overheat if the cooling system is not maintained properly.

Engine misfires

Can result from issues with ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel injectors, common in high-output engines.

Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve issues

EGR valves can become clogged in engines with advanced emission control systems, affecting performance.

Crankshaft sensor failure

Can lead to engine stalling or failure to start, a known issue in some Mercedes-Benz models.

Turbocharger wastegate failure

The wastegate can fail, leading to over-boosting or insufficient boosting, common in turbocharged engines.

High oil consumption

Performance engines may consume more oil, requiring frequent checks and top-ups.
