Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

Worn brake pads

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

Brake rotor issues

Brake rotors can become warped or damaged, causing vibrations or reduced braking power.

Brake master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can fail, leading to a loss of hydraulic pressure and braking capability.

Abs (anti-lock braking system) problems

The ABS sensors or control modules can malfunction, causing the ABS system to fail or operate incorrectly.

Engine misfires

The L43 engine can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Intake manifold gasket leaks

The intake manifold gasket can fail, leading to coolant or air leaks and engine performance issues.

Fuel pump failure

The fuel pump can fail, resulting in poor engine performance or the engine not starting.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain can stretch or wear out, causing timing problems and potential engine damage.

Egr valve problems

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
