Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, including the V8 in the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, often suffer from oil leaks due to the design complexity and gasket failures.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or the tensioners can fail, leading to poor engine performance and potentially severe engine damage if not addressed.

Coolant leaks

The M273 engine used in this model is prone to coolant leaks, especially from the thermostat housing and other plastic components.

Misfires

Ignition coils and spark plugs can wear out, leading to engine misfires, which are common in high-mileage V8 engines.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling, poor fuel economy, and performance issues.

Camshaft adjuster solenoid failure

The solenoids that control the camshaft timing can fail, resulting in poor engine performance and check engine light warnings.

Vacuum leaks

The complex vacuum system in V8 engines can develop leaks, leading to rough idling and engine performance issues.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A common issue in older Mercedes-Benz models, this can cause the engine to stall or fail to start.
