Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, like the one in the 2016 Hyundai Equus, may develop oil leaks at the valve cover gaskets, rear main seal, and oil pan gasket due to the configuration and age.
Carbon buildup
The Direct Injection (GDI) system in the DOHC GDI TAU engine can lead to carbon buildup on intake valves over time, causing rough idling, misfires, and reduced performance.
Timing chain issues
The DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) setup can experience timing chain stretch or failure, leading to potential engine misfires or severe engine damage if not properly maintained.
Cooling system problems
V8 engines can generate significant heat, and the cooling system components (like the water pump, radiator, and thermostat) may be prone to failure, leading to overheating issues.
Ignition coil failure
With eight cylinders, the ignition coils in the Hyundai Equus may wear out or fail, causing misfires, poor fuel economy, and engine hesitation.
Fuel injector problems
GDI engines can experience issues with fuel injectors becoming clogged or failing, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance issues.
