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 or failure.

Brake pad wear

Over time, brake pads can wear down, causing reduced braking performance and potentially damaging the rotors.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can fail, resulting in a loss of hydraulic pressure and ineffective braking.

Air in brake lines

Air can enter the brake lines, causing a spongy brake pedal and reduced braking effectiveness.

Warped brake rotors

High heat and heavy use can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking performance.

Low brake fluid

Low brake fluid levels can result in decreased braking power and potential brake system failure.

Brake caliper issues

Sticking or malfunctioning brake calipers can cause uneven braking and increased wear on brake components.

Engine overheating

Engine overheating can occur due to issues with the cooling system, such as a faulty thermostat or radiator.

Oil leaks

The K24A4 engine can develop oil leaks from gaskets, seals, or the oil pan, leading to lower oil levels and potential engine damage.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain can wear out over time, causing noise and potential engine timing issues.

Spark plug fouling

Spark plugs can become fouled with carbon deposits, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Dirty or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The valve cover gasket can degrade over time, causing oil leaks and potential contamination of the spark plug wells.
