V8 engines are less fuel-efficient, leading to higher fuel consumption.
Cooling system problems
The complexity of V8 engines can lead to overheating issues due to coolant leaks or radiator problems.
Engine mount failure
The larger vibrations from a V8 engine can lead to faster wear of engine mounts.
Valve train issues
V8 engines may experience problems with the valve train components, such as lifters and rocker arms.
Turbocharger problems
If equipped, the turbochargers in Mercedes V8 engines can fail or have reduced efficiency over time.
