Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines in this model are known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain tensioners and guides can wear out, leading to possible timing chain slack and noisy operation.

Coolant leaks

The water pump and radiator can develop leaks over time, which may lead to engine overheating if not addressed.

Excessive oil consumption

Some V8 engines have been reported to consume more oil than expected, requiring more frequent oil top-ups.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like those in the CLS-Class, can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, affecting performance.

Misfires

Ignition coil and spark plug issues are common, leading to engine misfires and rough running.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Turbocharger issues (if applicable)

For models equipped with turbochargers, issues such as turbo failure or boost leaks can occur.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A faulty sensor can cause stalling, poor acceleration, and difficulty starting the engine.

Engine mounts wear

Engine mounts can wear out, causing excessive engine vibration and noise.
