Oil leaks

Common in V-shaped engines, oil leaks can result from worn gaskets or seals, leading to oil dripping and potential engine damage.

Turbocharger issues

The Maserati Levante's turbocharged engine may experience issues like turbo lag, bearing failure, or boost leaks, affecting performance and efficiency.

Cooling system problems

Overheating can occur due to a failing water pump, radiator issues, or thermostat problems, leading to potential engine damage.

Timing chain/belt problems

V8 engines like the M161A may have timing chain or belt issues, causing poor engine timing and potential catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.

Sensor failures

Faulty sensors, such as the mass air flow (MAF) sensor or oxygen sensors, can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture and reduced engine efficiency.

Exhaust system problems

Issues with the exhaust system, such as a clogged catalytic converter or exhaust leaks, can affect engine performance and emissions.

Fuel system issues

Problems with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or fuel injectors can lead to fuel delivery issues, causing poor engine performance and starting problems.

Electrical problems

The Maserati Levante may experience electrical issues related to wiring or the engine control unit (ECU), affecting engine management and performance.

Turbocharger wastegate failure

A failure in the wastegate can cause overboost or underboost conditions, leading to performance issues and potential engine damage.
