Most common problems:

Oil leaks

High-performance engines like the Ferrari F 133 A are prone to oil leaks due to high pressures and temperatures.

Cooling system issues

V-shaped engines can experience uneven cooling, leading to potential overheating problems, especially in high-performance models.

Fuel system problems

High-performance engines require precise fuel delivery, and any issues with the fuel system can affect performance and efficiency.

Timing belt/chain wear

The timing belt or chain in high-performance engines can wear out faster due to the increased stress and RPMs, leading to potential timing issues.

Electrical issues

High-performance vehicles often have complex electrical systems that can suffer from faults, leading to engine performance issues.

Sensor failures

Performance engines like those in a Ferrari 550 Maranello rely on multiple sensors that can fail or provide inaccurate readings, affecting engine management.

Exhaust system problems

High-performance exhaust systems can develop leaks or other issues due to the extreme temperatures and pressures they are subjected to.

Valve train wear

The high-revving nature of a 12-cylinder Ferrari engine can lead to increased wear on the valve train components.

Ignition system problems

High-performance engines need a robust ignition system, and any faults here can cause misfires or poor performance.

Engine mount wear

The powerful engine can cause more strain on the engine mounts, leading to increased wear and potential failure.
