Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, including those in 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, are prone to oil leaks, often due to valve cover gasket or oil pan gasket failures.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain and its components can wear out over time, leading to potential engine misfires or more severe damage if not addressed.

Misfires

Faulty ignition coils or spark plugs can cause misfires in V8 engines, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Cooling system problems

Issues with the water pump, radiator, or thermostat can lead to overheating, which is particularly problematic in V8 engines.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the V8 in the 2012 E-Class can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, impacting performance and efficiency.

Fuel injector failures

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

This sensor is critical for engine timing and can fail, causing the engine to stall or not start.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum hoses and related components can develop leaks, leading to rough idling and poor acceleration.
