Most common problems:

Oil leaks

High-performance engines like the Twin-turbo W12 can be prone to oil leaks due to the high pressure and temperature they operate at.

Turbocharger failure

Twin-turbo setups often experience turbocharger issues such as bearing failure or compressor wheel damage due to high boost pressures.

Cooling system problems

The complexity of W-shaped engines can cause coolant flow issues, leading to overheating if not properly maintained.

Timing chain issues

The W12 engine's timing chain can stretch or wear out over time, leading to poor engine performance or even catastrophic failure.

Catalytic converter failure

High-performance engines can run rich, which can lead to premature catalytic converter failure.

Fuel system problems

The high power output requires a robust fuel system, and components like fuel pumps or injectors may fail under the strain.

Misfiring

With 12 cylinders, the engine has a lot of components that need to work in harmony, and issues like faulty spark plugs or ignition coils can cause misfiring.

Complex maintenance

The W-shaped configuration and twin-turbo setup make this engine complex and labor-intensive to service, leading to higher maintenance costs and potential for human error.
