Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, like the M177, often develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or timing cover gaskets due to high operating temperatures.

Carbon build-up

Direct fuel injection engines are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can lead to reduced performance and misfires.

Turbocharger issues

Turbocharged engines, such as the one in the AMG GT, can experience turbo failure due to oil contamination, excessive heat, or bearing wear.

Cooling system problems

High-performance engines generate a lot of heat, and cooling system components (radiators, water pumps, and thermostats) may fail prematurely.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain in the M177 engine can stretch over time, leading to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injector failures

Direct fuel injection systems can suffer from clogged or failing fuel injectors, leading to poor fuel economy and misfires.

Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) issues

EGR valves can become clogged or fail, leading to increased emissions and reduced engine efficiency.

Ignition coil failures

V8 engines have multiple ignition coils, and failure of one or more can cause misfiring and rough running.

Pcv system failure

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system can become clogged, leading to increased oil consumption and potential engine damage.

Cylinder deactivation problems

Some modern V8 engines include cylinder deactivation technology, which can malfunction and cause rough running or reduced performance.
