Problem
explanation
Turbocharger failure
Turbocharged engines like the B4204TSH can experience issues with the turbocharger, such as bearing wear or turbine damage, which can lead to reduced performance and increased exhaust smoke.
Supercharger issues
The supercharger in the TSH model can suffer from belt wear or pulley failure, causing a drop in engine power and efficiency.
Hybrid system malfunction
The electric motor and battery components of the hybrid system might face issues such as battery degradation or inverter failure, leading to decreased hybrid efficiency and potential drivetrain problems.
Engine misfires
With a high-pressure system and complex turbo/supercharged configuration, the engine might experience misfires due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Cooling system problems
The combination of turbo and supercharging can put extra strain on the cooling system, potentially leading to overheating issues if the radiator, water pump, or thermostat fails.
Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve failure
The EGR system, which reduces emissions, can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
High rpm wear
Operating at high RPMs (up to 7000) can accelerate wear on engine components such as pistons, crankshaft, and bearings, especially if maintenance is neglected.
Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
Although standard, the DBS system can encounter sensor or software issues, affecting braking efficiency and safety.
Oil leaks
High-performance engines are more prone to oil leaks from gaskets and seals due to the increased pressure and temperatures involved.
Transmission issues
The V60’s transmission must handle the combined power of the turbo, supercharged, and hybrid systems, which can lead to accelerated wear or failure of transmission components.
