Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older Porsche Panamera models, oil leaks can occur from various seals and gaskets deteriorating over time.

Coolant leaks

The coolant system may develop leaks, particularly from the coolant pipes or the water pump, leading to overheating issues.

Engine misfires

Ignition coil failure or spark plug issues can cause the engine to misfire, impacting performance and fuel efficiency.

Timing chain issues

Problems with the timing chain tensioner can lead to a noisy engine or even severe engine damage if not addressed.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the one in the Panamera can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel economy, rough idling, and decreased engine performance.
