Problems:
Oil leaks
The complexity of a W-shaped 12-cylinder engine can lead to potential oil leaks from various gaskets and seals.
Turbocharger issues
The twin-turbocharged system may experience failures such as turbo lag, reduced boost pressure, or complete failure of the turbochargers.
Overheating
The dense configuration of a W12 engine can cause overheating issues, especially under high performance or inadequate cooling system maintenance.
Timing chain problems
The intricate timing chain system in a W12 engine can stretch over time, leading to poor engine performance or even catastrophic engine damage if it breaks.
Fuel system issues
The high-performance nature of this engine requires a precise fuel delivery system, which can develop issues such as clogged injectors or fuel pump failures.
Emission control problems
As a LEV II (Low Emission Vehicle) engine, it relies heavily on catalytic converters and other emission control devices that can fail and cause performance and legal issues.
Ignition system failures
The complexity of a W12 engine and the high number of cylinders can lead to increased likelihood of spark plug or ignition coil failures.
Coolant leaks
With the intricate design of the W12 engine, there are more points of potential failure in the cooling system, leading to leaks and overheating.
High maintenance costs
Due to the engine's complexity and performance characteristics, regular maintenance and repairs can be more costly compared to simpler engines.
