Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid, and any leaks can lead to a loss of braking power.
Brake fade
Overheating of the brake components can cause reduced braking efficiency, known as brake fade.
Warped brake rotors
Due to heavy use or excessive heat, the brake rotors can warp, leading to vibrations during braking.
Electronic fuel injection problems
Issues with the EFI system can cause poor engine performance, rough idling, or difficulty starting.
Fuel pump failure
A failing fuel pump can result in engine stalling, poor acceleration, or no-start conditions.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
Leaking gaskets can cause vacuum leaks, resulting in rough running or misfires.
Spark plug issues
Worn or fouled spark plugs can lead to misfires, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch, leading to poor engine performance or engine damage if it fails completely.
Exhaust manifold cracks
Cracks in the exhaust manifold can cause exhaust leaks, leading to increased engine noise and potential performance issues.
Coolant leaks
Leaks in the cooling system can lead to engine overheating if not addressed.
Alternator failure
A failing alternator can cause electrical issues, including battery drain and malfunctioning electrical components.
Transmission issues
Automatic transmissions in older vehicles can develop problems such as slipping, hard shifts, or failure to engage.
