Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders, leading to decreased braking performance and potential brake failure.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components due to heavy use can cause brake fade, where the brakes become less effective.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads wear down over time and need regular replacement to maintain effective braking.

Electronic fuel injection issues

The electronic fuel injection system can have problems such as clogged fuel injectors, faulty sensors, or issues with the electronic control unit (ECU).

Engine overheating

Common in older vehicles, overheating can be caused by issues such as a failing water pump, radiator problems, or a malfunctioning thermostat.

Oil leaks

Engine oil leaks can occur from the valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, or rear main seal, leading to low oil levels and potential engine damage.

Timing chain/belt problems

The timing chain or belt can wear out or become misaligned, leading to engine performance issues or severe engine damage if it fails.

Ignition system issues

Problems with the ignition coil, distributor, or spark plugs can cause misfires, poor engine performance, and difficulty starting the engine.

Exhaust manifold leaks

Exhaust manifold leaks can cause a ticking noise and may result in decreased engine performance and increased emissions.

Fuel pump failure

A failing fuel pump can lead to poor fuel delivery to the engine, resulting in stalling, difficulty starting, or poor performance.
