Most common problems:

Dbs malfunction

Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) may sometimes fail to activate during an emergency, leading to longer stopping distances.

Turbocharger issues

The M177 engine's turbochargers can sometimes fail, causing reduced power output and potential engine damage.

Oil leaks

The V-shaped engine configuration, especially in the M177 model, is prone to oil leaks due to gasket failures.

Fuel injector problems

Direct fuel injection systems can suffer from clogged or leaking injectors, leading to poor performance and increased emissions.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain in the M177 engine can stretch or wear out, causing timing issues and potential engine damage.

Cooling system failures

The high performance of the M177 engine can strain the cooling system, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

Cylinder misfire

Problems with the ignition system or fuel delivery can cause misfires in one or more of the eight cylinders.

Carbon buildup

Direct fuel injection can lead to carbon buildup on intake valves, reducing engine efficiency and performance.

Software glitches

The advanced engine management software can sometimes experience glitches, affecting engine performance and reliability.
