Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil leaks

Older engines, especially from the 1990s, can develop oil leaks due to worn gaskets or seals.

Cooling system issues

V12 engines generate a lot of heat, and components like radiators, water pumps, and hoses may fail over time, causing overheating.

Ignition problems

The complexity of a V12 engine can lead to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, and wiring, resulting in misfires or starting problems.

Fuel system problems

Fuel injectors and fuel pumps can wear out, leading to poor fuel delivery and performance issues.
