Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, like the one in the 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, are prone to oil leaks, especially around the valve cover gaskets and oil pan.

Coolant leaks

The complex cooling system in V12 engines can develop leaks in hoses, radiator, or water pump, causing overheating issues.

Ignition coil failure

The 12-cylinder configuration means more ignition coils that can fail, leading to misfires and decreased performance.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain and its tensioners in a V12 engine can wear out, leading to noise, poor performance, or even engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injector problems

With twelve cylinders, the likelihood of fuel injector issues increases, which can affect engine smoothness and efficiency.

Vacuum leaks

Complex vacuum systems in V12 engines can develop leaks, causing rough idling and poor fuel economy.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks due to the high temperatures generated by the large engine, leading to exhaust leaks and noise.

Sensor failures

The numerous sensors in a high-performance engine like this can fail, causing various running issues and triggering the check engine light.
