Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V12 engines, like the AM25, often develop oil leaks due to the complexity and number of seals and gaskets involved.

Cooling system failures

These engines can overheat due to insufficient cooling, especially in high-performance conditions, leading to potential damage.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear, causing timing issues and potentially severe engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injector problems

The high-performance nature of the engine can lead to clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Ignition coil failures

With 12 cylinders, there are many ignition coils, and failures can lead to misfires and reduced engine performance.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the AM25 are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can affect efficiency and performance.

Sensor failures

Complex engines have numerous sensors that can fail, causing various performance and diagnostic issues.

Gasket failures

The high pressures and temperatures in a V12 can lead to head gasket failures, which can cause coolant and oil mixing.
