Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, including those in the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, are known for developing oil leaks, which can stem from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain in V8 engines may stretch or wear out, potentially causing rough running, a rattling noise, or even engine failure if not addressed.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like many found in the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.

Coil pack failures

The ignition coil packs in V8 engines can fail, causing misfires, rough idling, and a decrease in engine performance.

Cooling system problems

The complexity of V8 engines often leads to issues with the cooling system, such as thermostat failures, water pump leaks, or radiator problems, which can cause the engine to overheat.

Turbocharger issues (if applicable)

If the V8 engine in the CLS-Class is equipped with turbochargers, they can experience failures due to oil starvation, carbon buildup, or general wear and tear, leading to reduced power and efficiency.

Fuel injector problems

V8 engines can have issues with fuel injectors becoming clogged or failing, which can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and rough running conditions.

Sensor malfunctions

Various sensors, such as the mass airflow sensor or oxygen sensors, can fail or become inaccurate, leading to poor engine performance and triggering the check engine light.
