Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, including those in the 2006 MERCEDES-BENZ E-Class, are prone to oil leaks from valve cover gaskets and timing cover seals due to their complex design.

Engine misfires

The 8-cylinder configuration can experience misfires due to faulty ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel injectors.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain in these engines can stretch or the tensioners can fail, leading to poor engine performance and potential engine damage.

Cooling system problems

The cooling system may develop issues such as radiator or water pump failure, which can lead to overheating and engine damage.

Mass air flow sensor failure

This model is known to have issues with the mass air flow sensor, which can cause poor acceleration and rough idling.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can lead to starting problems and intermittent stalling.
