Most common problems:

Overheating

V-shaped engines, especially with 12 cylinders, can have cooling issues due to the compact design and high performance, leading to potential overheating.

Oil leaks

High-performance engines like those in the 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class can be prone to oil leaks from seals and gaskets due to high pressure and temperature.

Misfiring

With a 12-cylinder engine, one or more cylinders might misfire due to ignition coil or spark plug issues, leading to poor performance.

Timing chain/tensioner issues

V-shaped engines with complex timing setups can experience problems with timing chains or tensioners, causing irregular engine timing and potential damage.

Fuel injector problems

High-performance engines often have issues with fuel injectors getting clogged or failing, leading to rough idling or poor acceleration.

Cooling system failures

The intricate cooling system of a V12 engine can fail, leading to inadequate cooling and potential engine damage.

Excessive fuel consumption

Due to the high power output, the engine may consume more fuel than expected, leading to frequent refueling and higher operational costs.

Sensor failures

Advanced engines like the one in the 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class rely heavily on sensors, which can fail and cause various engine management issues.
