Problems:

Oil leaks

Porsche engines, including those in the Panamera, are known for developing oil leaks, often from the valve covers or oil pan gasket.

Coolant leaks

The coolant system can develop leaks, especially around the coolant pipes and water pump, which can cause overheating issues.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils in Porsche engines can fail, leading to misfires and rough running conditions.

Timing chain tensioner issues

Problems with the timing chain tensioner can lead to noise and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Carbon build-up

Direct fuel injection engines like the one in the Panamera can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

High-pressure fuel pump failure

The high-pressure fuel pump can fail, leading to reduced engine performance and potential stalling.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A failing crankshaft position sensor can cause intermittent stalling, no-start conditions, and erratic engine behavior.

Turbocharger problems (if applicable)

For turbocharged models, issues with the turbocharger such as oil leaks, bearing failure, or wastegate malfunction can occur.
