Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks over time, leading to decreased braking performance and potential brake failure.

Brake master cylinder failure

The master cylinder in a hydraulic brake system can wear out, causing a spongy brake pedal or complete loss of braking power.

Abs module issues

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) can malfunction, leading to warning lights on the dashboard and reduced braking efficiency.

Warped brake rotors

Over time, brake rotors can warp due to excessive heat, causing vibration and noise during braking.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads wear out with use, leading to reduced braking effectiveness and the need for replacement.

Oil consumption

The V-shaped LM7 engine may experience higher oil consumption, requiring more frequent oil checks and top-offs.

Coolant leaks

The LM7 engine can develop coolant leaks from the water pump, radiator, or hoses, leading to overheating.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The intake manifold gasket can fail, causing coolant leaks and poor engine performance.

Knock sensor issues

The LM7 engine's knock sensors can fail, leading to reduced engine performance and increased fuel consumption.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling, misfires, and poor fuel economy.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to engine timing issues and potential engine damage.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The iron construction of the engine can lead to exhaust manifold cracks, causing exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.
