Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines are prone to oil leaks from the valve covers, oil pan, and timing cover due to the complex gasket arrangements.

Timing chain issues

The 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ GL-Class V6 engines have been known to have timing chain tensioner failures, leading to potential chain slippage and engine damage.

Turbocharger problems

If the vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged V6, issues with the turbocharger such as bearing failures or intercooler leaks can arise.

Carbon buildup

Direct-injection engines can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to misfires, rough idling, and reduced performance.

Cooling system failures

V6 engines, especially in larger vehicles like the GL-Class, can have issues with the cooling system such as water pump failures or radiator leaks, causing overheating.

Injector problems

Fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, leading to poor fuel economy, misfires, and rough running conditions.

Misfires

Ignition coil or spark plug failures can cause misfires, which are common issues in V6 engines and can lead to rough engine performance.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

This sensor can fail, causing starting issues or engine stalling in some 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ GL-Class models.
