Problems:
Oil leaks
Oil leaks can be common in high-performance engines due to the increased pressure and heat. Regular inspections and maintenance can help mitigate this issue.
Turbocharger failure
The B4204TSH engine is likely equipped with a turbocharger, which can fail due to wear and tear, poor lubrication, or foreign object damage. Regular maintenance and timely oil changes are crucial.
Engine overheating
High brake horsepower engines can generate a lot of heat, which may lead to overheating if the cooling system is not adequately maintained.
Misfiring
This could be due to issues with the ignition system, fuel injectors, or spark plugs, which are crucial in a high-performance engine.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines are prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.
Electrical issues
As a TZEV and eAWD vehicle, electrical components play a significant role. Problems with wiring, sensors, or the battery can lead to engine performance issues.
Timing chain/belt wear
Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, leading to potential engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.
