Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function correctly. Leaks can lead to reduced braking performance or complete brake failure.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components can lead to brake fade, where the brakes become less effective over time, especially under heavy use.

Worn brake pads

Regular use can cause brake pads to wear down, reducing their effectiveness and potentially damaging the rotors.

Abs malfunction

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can develop issues, leading to warning lights on the dashboard and reduced braking efficiency.

Brake caliper sticking

Sticking calipers can cause uneven braking and increased wear on brake pads and rotors.

Injector problems

Direct injection engines like the LGH can face issues with fuel injectors becoming clogged or failing.

Turbocharger issues

The LGH DURAMAX engine can experience turbocharger problems, such as boost leaks or turbo failure, affecting engine performance.

Dpf clogging

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can become clogged, causing reduced engine performance and increased emissions.

Egr valve failure

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can fail, leading to increased emissions and reduced engine efficiency.

Fuel system contamination

Contaminants in the fuel system can cause various issues, including poor performance and potential damage to fuel injectors and pumps.

Glow plug failure

Diesel engines rely on glow plugs for cold starts. Failed glow plugs can make the engine difficult to start in cold weather.

Cylinder wear

Over time, the cylinders in a V-shaped engine may experience wear, leading to reduced compression and engine performance.

Timing chain issues

Problems with the timing chain can lead to poor engine performance and, in severe cases, engine damage.

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines can develop oil leaks from various seals and gaskets, leading to reduced oil levels and potential engine damage.
