Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, particularly in older models, can suffer from oil leaks due to worn gaskets and seals.

Timing chain issues

Timing chain tensioners on Mercedes-Benz V8 engines can wear out, leading to potential engine timing problems.

Misfiring

Ignition coil or spark plug failures can cause misfiring, which is a common issue in V8 engines.

Cooling system problems

V8 engines generate a lot of heat, and issues with the radiator or water pump can lead to overheating.

Mass air flow sensor failure

The mass air flow sensor can fail, leading to poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause starting issues and engine stalling.

Fuel injector problems

V8 engines can experience fuel injector clogging or failure, leading to poor engine performance and rough idling.
