Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to decreased braking performance.
Brake fade
Prolonged use of brakes, especially under heavy loads, can cause overheating and reduced braking effectiveness.
Worn brake pads
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain proper braking performance.
Warped brake rotors
Excessive heat can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.
Air in brake lines
Air bubbles in the hydraulic lines can result in a spongy brake pedal and decreased braking performance.
Abs malfunction
Issues with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can lead to reduced control during emergency braking.
Contaminated brake fluid
Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture, leading to reduced effectiveness and potential corrosion in the braking system.
Faulty brake booster
A malfunctioning brake booster can result in increased pedal effort and reduced braking power.
Worn engine components
High mileage or poor maintenance can lead to worn engine parts, affecting performance and reliability.
Fuel system issues
Problems with fuel injectors, fuel pump, or fuel filters can lead to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Coolant leaks
Leaks in the cooling system can cause the engine to overheat, leading to potential engine damage.
Turbocharger problems
If equipped, issues with the turbocharger can lead to reduced engine power and efficiency.
Exhaust system issues
Problems with the exhaust system, such as leaks or a clogged catalytic converter, can impact engine performance and emissions.
Electrical problems
Issues with the engine's electrical system, including sensors and wiring, can lead to performance problems and difficulty starting the engine.
Oil leaks
Leaks in the engine oil system can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage due to insufficient lubrication.
Timing chain/belt issues
Problems with the timing chain or belt can lead to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.
