Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, including those in the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, can develop oil leaks from valve covers, oil pan gaskets, and other seals over time due to engine heat and wear.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain and its components may wear out or fail, leading to engine performance problems or even severe engine damage if not addressed.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, common in Mercedes-Benz, can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, affecting performance and efficiency.

Coolant leaks

Issues with the water pump, radiator, or coolant hoses can lead to coolant leaks, causing overheating and potential engine damage.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils can fail, leading to misfires, poor engine performance, and reduced fuel economy.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to rough idling, poor acceleration, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Turbocharger issues

If the V8 engine is turbocharged, problems with the turbochargers, such as oil leaks or bearing failures, can occur, leading to reduced performance and increased exhaust smoke.

Mass air flow sensor failure

The mass air flow sensor can fail, causing incorrect air-fuel mixture readings, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel economy.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A failing crankshaft position sensor can cause intermittent stalling, no-start conditions, and poor engine performance.
