Problems:
Dynamic brake support (dbs) issues
Problems with the DBS system can include failure to activate during emergency braking, false activation, or software glitches that may require an update or reconfiguration.
Excessive engine noise
A V-shaped engine with 6 cylinders, like the V35A-FTS, can sometimes produce excessive noise due to worn-out components, improper lubrication, or exhaust system issues.
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines are prone to oil leaks, which can stem from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals and gaskets wearing out over time.
Turbocharger problems
The V35A-FTS engine (often turbocharged) may experience issues like turbo lag, reduced power output, or turbo failure due to wear and tear or insufficient maintenance.
Cooling system failures
Complex V-shaped engines can suffer from cooling system issues such as radiator leaks, thermostat failures, or water pump malfunctions, leading to overheating.
Fuel system issues
Engines with both port and direct fuel injection systems might encounter fuel delivery problems, injector clogging, or high-pressure fuel pump failures.
Ignition system malfunctions
Problems such as misfires, poor starting, or rough idling can occur due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or wiring issues.
Timing chain/belt problems
Timing components in V-shaped engines can wear out, leading to stretched chains or belts, which can cause poor engine performance or even engine damage.
Emission control system failures
Issues with the catalytic converter, EGR valve, or oxygen sensors can lead to increased emissions and potential failure to meet regulatory standards.
Sensor and electronic issues
Modern engines like the V35A-FTS rely heavily on electronic sensors and control units, which can fail or produce erroneous readings, affecting overall engine performance.
