Problems:

Engine misfire
Misfires can occur due to issues with the ignition system, fuel injectors, or a faulty spark plug, which can lead to reduced engine performance and efficiency.
Turbocharger failure
The turbocharger in the M260 engine may develop problems such as oil leaks, bearing wear, or compressor wheel damage, resulting in reduced power and increased emissions.
Fuel injector issues
Direct fuel injection systems can sometimes suffer from clogged or leaking injectors, which can lead to poor fuel economy, rough idling, and increased emissions.
Timing chain problems
The timing chain may stretch or wear over time, potentially causing engine misfires, poor performance, and even engine damage if not addressed.
Oil leaks
Common in many engines, oil leaks can occur from various seals and gaskets, including the valve cover gasket, causing oil loss and potential engine damage if not corrected.
Cooling system failures
Problems with the water pump, radiator, or thermostat can lead to overheating, which can cause significant engine damage if not promptly addressed.
Sensor failures
Various sensors, such as the mass airflow sensor (MAF) or oxygen sensors, may fail and cause the engine to run inefficiently or trigger the check engine light.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can lead to decreased performance, rough idling, and increased fuel consumption.
Transmission issues
Though not directly related to the engine, issues with the transmission can affect overall vehicle performance, including rough shifting or transmission slipping.
Software updates
Modern engines often require software updates to the engine control unit (ECU) to resolve various running issues or to improve performance and efficiency.

Engine misfire
Could be due to issues with the direct fuel injection system, spark plugs, or ignition coils.
Turbocharger failure
The M133 engine is turbocharged; failure can lead to reduced power and performance.
Oil leaks
Commonly found in the valve cover gasket or oil pan, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.
Coolant leaks
Could be due to issues with the water pump or radiator, leading to engine overheating.
Timing chain tensioner issues
May cause rattling noises and could lead to severe engine damage if the timing chain slips.
Fuel injector problems
Dirty or faulty injectors can cause poor fuel economy and engine performance.
Carbon buildup
Direct fuel injection engines are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can affect performance and efficiency.
Electronic throttle control issues
Can lead to poor throttle response and reduced engine performance.
