What we focus on with the petrol Mercedes-Benz G-Class
- Timing chain or belt. We listen for chain rattle on start-up and check belt service history, because a skipped interval here is one of the most expensive engine faults to put right.
- Cold-start behaviour. A genuine cold start reveals knocks, smoke and rough running that a warmed-up engine hides.
- Turbocharger health. On turbo engines we watch boost behaviour, smoke on load and any whine or shaft play that hints at a tiring turbo.
- Cooling system. Water pump, thermostat and coolant condition are inspected for leaks and overheating risk.
- Oil consumption. We check oil level and condition and ask the right questions about top-ups, since heavy consumption points to worn rings or seals.
