Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems may develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, which can lead to reduced braking efficiency and increased stopping distances.
Brake fade
During continuous heavy braking, the brake components may overheat, leading to reduced braking performance until they cool down.
Engine misfire
The V-shaped engine configuration with 8 cylinders can experience misfires due to ignition coil failure, spark plug issues, or fuel delivery problems.
Oil consumption
The L87 engine may encounter excessive oil consumption, potentially due to piston ring wear or valve seal issues, leading to the need for frequent oil top-ups.
Active fuel management (afm) issues
The engine's AFM system, which deactivates certain cylinders to improve fuel efficiency, might malfunction, causing rough engine performance or noise.
Dynamic brake support (dbs) failure
Although standard, the DBS system can sometimes malfunction, resulting in reduced support during emergency braking situations.
Engine overheating
An aluminum engine block can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not functioning properly, which could lead to engine damage if not addressed.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection (DI) engines like the L87 can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves over time, leading to performance issues and reduced fuel efficiency.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain in the engine may stretch or wear, leading to potential timing issues and engine noise.
Transmission problems
The model may experience transmission issues such as slipping, harsh shifting, or delayed gear engagement, which can affect drivability.
