Brake booster failure
The brake booster assists in applying the brakes. A failure can make the brake pedal hard to press and reduce braking power.
Brake pad and rotor wear
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking performance.
Engine misfires
The V-shaped, 8-cylinder engine may experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Oil leaks
The WRN L18 engine can develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals.
Coolant leaks
Coolant leaks can occur from the radiator, hoses, or water pump, leading to engine overheating.
Fuel pump failure
The fuel pump may fail, causing engine performance issues or preventing the engine from starting.
Intake manifold gasket failure
This can lead to coolant or air leaks, affecting engine performance and causing overheating or rough idling.
