Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function correctly. Leaks can cause a loss of braking power and pose a safety risk.

Brake pad wear

Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking performance.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder is a key component in a hydraulic brake system. Failure can lead to a loss of braking power.

Engine misfires

The Chevrolet Express with an L20 engine, having 8 cylinders, may experience misfires due to various reasons such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

E85 compatibility issues

Using E85 fuel can sometimes lead to issues like fuel system corrosion or clogged fuel injectors if not properly maintained.

Cooling system problems

The iron block engine can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not maintained, leading to potential engine damage.

Oil consumption

High-mileage engines may consume more oil, leading to potential engine damage if not monitored and maintained.

Sensor failures

Older models can experience failures in various sensors such as O2 sensors, MAF sensors, and crankshaft position sensors, leading to engine performance issues.
