Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, such as the one in the 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, are prone to oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets over time.

Ignition coil failure

The M-B V8 engines often experience issues with ignition coils, leading to misfires and rough running conditions.

Cooling system problems

The G-Class cooling system can develop leaks in the radiator and hoses, which can lead to overheating issues.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain and related components can wear out, causing noise and potential engine performance issues.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors in these engines may become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum hoses can deteriorate, causing leaks that result in rough idle and poor acceleration.

Mass air flow sensor failure

MAF sensors can fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture and impacting engine performance.

Throttle body issues

The throttle body can become dirty or fail, causing poor throttle response and engine stalling.
