Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in V-shaped engines, especially in older models like the 2006 E-Class, due to deteriorating gaskets and seals

Timing chain issues

V8 engines, including those in the 2006 Mercedes E-Class, can experience timing chain stretch or failure, leading to poor engine performance and potential internal damage

Cooling system failures

Older Mercedes models may suffer from radiator, water pump, or thermostat failures, causing engine overheating

Vacuum leaks

V8 engines have complex vacuum systems that can develop leaks, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency

Spark plug and ignition coil problems

Over time, these components can wear out or fail, leading to misfires and rough engine operation

Mass air flow (maf) sensor failure

This sensor can become dirty or fail, resulting in poor engine performance and fuel economy

Fuel injector issues

Clogged or failing fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency

Crankshaft position sensor failure

This sensor can fail over time, causing the engine to stall or not start at all
