Problems:
Oil leaks
The BMW V8 engines, especially from the late 90s, are known for developing oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and rear main seals.
Cooling system failures
These engines often suffer from coolant leaks due to aging plastic components in the cooling system, such as the radiator, expansion tank, and water pump.
Timing chain issues
Over time, the timing chain and its components can wear out, leading to a rattling noise and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Electrical problems
The 1999 Bentley Arnage, using BMW's engine electronics, can experience issues with sensors, wiring, and the engine control unit (ECU), affecting performance and reliability.
Catalytic converter failures
Given its age, the catalytic converters can get clogged or fail, leading to a decrease in performance and increased emissions.
Intercooler problems
The intercooler can develop leaks or become clogged, reducing its efficiency and affecting engine performance, especially under load.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum hoses and connections can deteriorate over time, leading to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.
