Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Jaguar XJS V12 is notorious for oil leaks, often from the valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, and front or rear main seals.

Overheating

The V12 engine can suffer from overheating due to issues with the cooling system, such as a clogged radiator, failing water pump, or thermostat problems.

Ignition system failure

The ignition system, including the distributor cap, rotor, and ignition coils, can be problematic, leading to misfires or starting issues.

Fuel system issues

Problems with the fuel injectors, fuel pump, or fuel pressure regulator can cause poor engine performance or stalling.

Vacuum leaks

The complex vacuum system in the V12 engine can develop leaks, leading to rough idling and poor acceleration.

Timing chain tensioner failure

The timing chain tensioners may wear out, causing timing issues and potentially leading to severe engine damage if not addressed.

Sensor failures

Various sensors, such as the oxygen sensors and coolant temperature sensors, can fail and affect engine performance and fuel economy.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifolds can crack over time, leading to exhaust leaks and potential performance issues.
