Most common problems:

Oil leaks

W12 engines, due to their complex design, can develop oil leaks from various seals and gaskets, which can be challenging to diagnose and fix.

Cooling system issues

The high power output of the engine can lead to overheating problems if the cooling system is not maintained properly.

Timing chain wear

The W12 engine's timing chain can experience wear over time, leading to potential engine performance issues or damage if not addressed.

Turbocharger failure

The Continental’s W12 engine is turbocharged, and these components can fail due to high stress and heat, leading to reduced performance or engine damage.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the W12 can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, leading to rough idling and reduced performance.

Electrical problems

The complexity of the engine management system can lead to electrical issues, which can affect the engine’s performance and reliability.

Fuel injector issues

High-performance engines like the W12 can experience fuel injector problems, leading to misfires, poor fuel economy, and reduced power.

Vacuum leaks

The multitude of vacuum lines in a W12 engine can develop leaks, leading to performance issues and erratic idling.
