Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, especially with 12 cylinders, have more gaskets and seals which can lead to oil leaks.

Cooling system issues

High-performance engines like the MAYBACH 57's can generate excessive heat, stressing the cooling system.

Ignition coil failure

With more cylinders, the likelihood of ignition coil issues increases, affecting performance and drivability.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor fuel economy and engine misfires.

Timing chain wear

Larger engines with complex timing mechanisms can experience timing chain wear or failure.

Exhaust system corrosion

High-performance engines often run hotter, which can cause faster degradation of exhaust system components.

Turbocharger failure

If equipped, the turbocharger may suffer from oil contamination, leading to reduced performance and costly repairs.

Vacuum leaks

Complex engines have more vacuum lines that can leak, leading to poor engine performance and rough idling.
