Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Oil leaks are common in older engines and can be caused by degraded gaskets, seals, or oil pan, leading to reduced oil levels and potential engine damage.

Camshaft adjuster malfunction

In V8 engines like the one in the 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, camshaft adjuster issues can lead to poor performance and increased fuel consumption.

Ignition coil failure

V8 engines with multiple cylinders can experience ignition coil failures, resulting in misfires, rough idling, and reduced power.

Timing chain tensioner problems

The timing chain tensioners can wear out, causing rattling noises and potentially leading to timing issues if not addressed.

Cooling system issues

Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause the engine to overheat, leading to severe engine damage if not resolved.

Mass air flow (maf) sensor failure

A faulty MAF sensor can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixtures, causing rough running and reduced fuel efficiency.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

This sensor can fail or become erratic, causing stalling, starting difficulties, or a complete engine shutdown.
