Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V-Shaped engines like the one in the 2012 Maserati Quattroporte are prone to oil leaks, particularly around the valve cover gaskets and oil pan.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain in the BMAXV04.7LEV engine can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine performance or failure.

Cooling system failures

The cooling system in V8 engines can develop leaks or have issues with the water pump, leading to overheating.

Ignition coil failure

The V8 engine may experience ignition coil failures, causing misfires and reduced engine performance.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, leading to reduced efficiency and engine knocking.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing poor fuel delivery and engine misfires.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

The sensor can fail, leading to issues with engine starting and running smoothly.

Exhaust manifold cracks

V8 engines often experience cracks in the exhaust manifold, which can lead to exhaust leaks and decreased performance.
