Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V12 engines, like in the Ferrari 456 GT, often experience oil leaks due to the complexity and number of seals and gaskets.

Cooling system failures

The high-performance nature of the Ferrari V12 engine can put extra stress on the cooling system, leading to potential overheating issues.

Fuel injector problems

V12 engines have multiple fuel injectors which can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain can stretch or wear out over time, causing potential timing issues and engine misfires.

Ignition coil failures

With 12 cylinders, the ignition system is more complex and can experience coil failures, leading to misfires and rough running.

Valve train wear

High-revving V12 engines can experience increased wear on the valve train components, such as camshafts and lifters.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifolds can crack due to the intense heat cycles and stress from the powerful V12 engine.

Electrical problems

The intricate electrical system required to manage a V12 engine can have issues, such as sensor failures and wiring problems.
