Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) issues

DBS systems can sometimes fail to activate or engage properly, which can lead to reduced braking efficiency in emergency situations.

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines like the M278 are prone to oil leaks, especially around gaskets and seals due to their complex configuration.

Misfires

The M278 engine, with its direct fuel injection, can experience misfires due to carbon buildup on the intake valves.

Timing chain problems

The timing chain in the M278 engine can stretch or wear out over time, leading to timing issues and potential engine damage.

Turbocharger failures

The M278 is equipped with turbochargers that can fail or suffer from reduced efficiency, leading to decreased performance.

Cooling system failures

Issues in the cooling system, such as radiator or water pump failure, can cause the engine to overheat.

Electrical issues

The complex electronics in the 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS-Class can lead to various electrical problems, affecting engine performance and other systems.

Fuel injector problems

Direct fuel injection systems can experience injector failures or clogging, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
