Most common problems:

Brake fluid leak

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Leaks can lead to a loss of pressure and brake failure.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components can reduce their effectiveness, especially during prolonged use or under heavy loads.

Worn brake pads

Brake pads wear down over time and need to be replaced to maintain braking efficiency.

Engine misfire

V-shaped engines, like the V8, can experience misfires due to issues like faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Oil leaks

Older V8 engines can develop oil leaks, often from the valve cover gaskets or oil pan gasket.

Overheating

V8 engines can be prone to overheating if there are issues with the cooling system, such as a faulty water pump, radiator, or thermostat.

Fuel system problems

Given that LPG conversion is possible, issues with the fuel system can arise, such as clogged fuel injectors or problems with the LPG system itself.

Timing chain/belt issues

Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out or become misaligned, leading to poor engine performance or failure.

Exhaust manifold leaks

V8 engines can develop cracks or leaks in the exhaust manifold, leading to decreased performance and increased emissions.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum leaks can cause a variety of engine performance issues, including rough idling and poor acceleration.

Faulty oxygen sensors

Oxygen sensors can fail over time, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture readings and reduced fuel efficiency.
