Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines like the V12 in the 2004 Maybach 57 can develop oil leaks, often from valve cover gaskets or oil pan gaskets due to the complex design and multiple seals.
Cooling system issues
High-performance engines generate a lot of heat, which can lead to problems with the cooling system, such as radiator or water pump failures.
Ignition coil failure
With 12 cylinders, the engine has multiple ignition coils that can fail over time, leading to misfires and reduced performance.
Fuel injector problems
V12 engines have many fuel injectors, and any one of them can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling and poor fuel economy.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or the tensioners can fail, leading to improper engine timing and potential engine damage.
Exhaust system failures
The exhaust system in high-performance vehicles can suffer from issues such as cracked manifolds or failing catalytic converters due to the high temperatures and stresses involved.
Sensor malfunctions
Advanced engines like the one in the Maybach 57 rely on numerous sensors that can fail, such as oxygen sensors or mass airflow sensors, leading to performance issues and check engine lights.
