Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, especially in older models, are prone to developing oil leaks due to gasket failure or worn seals.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain tensioners and guides in some Mercedes-Benz V8 engines can wear out, leading to potential engine timing problems.

Camshaft adjuster solenoid failure

This component, crucial for variable valve timing, can fail and cause rough idling or poor performance.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like some V8s, can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, leading to reduced performance.

Coolant leaks

The V8 engines may develop coolant leaks from aging hoses, water pumps, or radiators.

Spark plug wear

High-performance V8 engines can wear out spark plugs more quickly, leading to misfires and reduced efficiency.

Transmission issues

The G-Class can experience transmission problems that affect engine performance, such as delayed shifting or transmission failure.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty fuel injectors can cause rough idling, poor fuel economy, and engine misfires in V8 engines.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

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