Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, including those in the 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, can develop oil leaks from various seals and gaskets, such as the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or rear main seal.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain in the V8 engine may stretch or the tensioners may fail over time, leading to poor engine performance or even severe engine damage if not addressed.

Misfiring

Ignition coil or spark plug failure can cause the engine to misfire, which is common in older V8 engines.

Coolant leaks

The V8 engine may develop coolant leaks from the radiator, water pump, or hoses, which can lead to overheating.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall, run rough, or not start at all.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The intake manifold gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks or a vacuum leak, which can cause rough idling and poor performance.

Electronic throttle control issues

Problems with the electronic throttle control system can lead to unexpected changes in throttle response or reduced engine power.
