Most common problems:

Oil leaks

High-performance engines like the W12 in the Bentley Continental often experience oil leaks due to the complexity of the engine design and the high pressures involved.

Turbocharger failure

The twin-turbocharged setup can sometimes lead to turbocharger wear or failure, especially if the engine isn't properly maintained.

Cooling system issues

The W-shaped 12-cylinder engine generates a lot of heat, which can put a strain on the cooling system, leading to potential overheating problems.

Fuel system problems

High-performance engines can experience issues with fuel injectors or fuel pumps, which can affect engine performance and efficiency.

Ignition system wear

Given the high horsepower and complexity, the ignition system components (spark plugs, coils) may wear out faster than in standard engines.

Timing chain/tensioner wear

The timing chain and its tensioners can experience wear over time, leading to potential issues with engine timing and performance.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like the one in the Bentley Continental, are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves over time, which can affect engine performance.
