Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V12 engines, particularly in older models, are prone to developing oil leaks due to the complexity and the numerous seals and gaskets that can wear out over time.

Cooling system failures

The V12 engine generates a significant amount of heat, and the cooling system may struggle to keep up, especially if it is not regularly maintained.

Ignition coil issues

V12 engines have more ignition coils, and more coils mean a higher chance of one failing, leading to misfires or poor performance.

Timing chain problems

The timing chain in V12 engines can stretch or wear over time, leading to timing issues and potentially serious engine damage if not addressed.

Carbon buildup

Due to the design and operation of V12 engines, carbon deposits can build up on the intake valves and other internal components, affecting performance.

Fuel injector failure

With more cylinders, there are more fuel injectors that can potentially fail, leading to issues such as rough idling, poor fuel economy, and loss of power.

Sensor malfunctions

The complexity of a V12 engine means it has numerous sensors that can fail or give incorrect readings, leading to various engine performance issues.

Expensive maintenance

V12 engines are generally more expensive to maintain due to their complexity and the cost of parts and labor.
