Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Engine components and seals can wear over time, leading to oil leaks which can affect performance and cause damage if not addressed.

Cooling system failures

The complex W-shaped configuration may lead to cooling inefficiencies, potentially causing overheating and engine damage.

Timing chain issues

The 12-cylinder engine's timing chain can stretch or wear, resulting in poor engine timing and performance issues.

Fuel injector problems

The LEV II emissions system can be sensitive, leading to clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors which affect fuel efficiency and engine performance.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, which can reduce performance and fuel efficiency.

Turbocharger failure

High-performance engines like the one in the Bentley Continental are equipped with turbochargers that can fail due to heat and wear, leading to reduced power and engine performance.

Electrical issues

The complexity of the engine's electronics in modern luxury cars can lead to various electrical problems, including issues with sensors and the engine control unit (ECU).

Exhaust system problems

The emissions control system, including catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, can fail over time, leading to poor emissions performance and potential engine issues.
