Problems:
Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
DBS systems can occasionally fail to engage properly, leading to reduced braking efficiency in emergency situations.
Timing chain wear
In-Line engines with variable valve timing, like the LTG, can experience timing chain wear, causing performance issues or engine damage.
Fuel injector issues
Direct Injection engines are prone to fuel injector problems, leading to poor fuel economy and reduced engine performance.
Carbon buildup
Direct Injection engines (especially those running on E85) can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, causing rough idling and reduced power.
Turbocharger failure
The LTG engine is turbocharged, which can lead to potential turbocharger failure if not properly maintained, resulting in power loss and increased emissions.
High-pressure fuel pump problems
Engines with direct injection often have high-pressure fuel pump issues, causing starting problems and poor performance.
Cooling system failures
The LTG engine's cooling system can be prone to leaks or failures, potentially leading to overheating and significant engine damage.
