The V12 engine in the 2006 S-Class can have problems with the timing chain and tensioners, which can lead to noisy operation or even engine damage if not addressed.

Cooling system failures

The high-performance V12 engine generates a lot of heat, making the cooling system susceptible to failures such as radiator leaks, thermostat malfunctions, and water pump failures.

Fuel injector problems
