Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V12 engines, including those in the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, can sometimes develop oil leaks due to the complexity and number of gaskets and seals.

Cooling system issues

The V12 engine generates a significant amount of heat, and the cooling system can sometimes struggle to keep the engine at an optimal temperature, leading to potential overheating issues.

Timing chain problems

Over time, the timing chain in these engines can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine performance or even engine failure if not addressed.

Ignition coil failure

With 12 cylinders, the ignition system has more components that can potentially fail, such as ignition coils, leading to misfires and rough running.

Fuel injector problems

Given the high number of fuel injectors, there is a higher chance of one or more failing, which can cause poor fuel economy and engine performance issues.

Complexity of repairs

The V12 engine's complexity means that repairs and maintenance are often more challenging and expensive compared to engines with fewer cylinders.
