Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

The DBS system might not engage correctly, leading to a lack of additional braking force during emergency stops.

Turbocharger failure

Turbochargers can fail due to oil starvation, foreign object damage, or excessive heat, leading to a loss of power.

Engine overheating

This can be caused by issues with the cooling system, such as a faulty thermostat, radiator, or water pump.

Misfiring cylinders

Problems with the ignition system, fuel injectors, or spark plugs can cause one or more cylinders to misfire.

Oil consumption

Turbocharged engines, like the DIB Turbo, can sometimes consume more oil than naturally aspirated engines.

Timing chain/belt issues

If the timing chain or belt becomes worn or breaks, it can lead to severe engine damage.

Fuel system problems

Issues with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance or stalling.

Sensor failures

Modern engines rely on numerous sensors (oxygen, MAF, MAP, etc.) that can fail and cause various engine performance issues.

Exhaust system issues

Problems with the catalytic converter, muffler, or exhaust pipes can lead to reduced engine efficiency and increased emissions.

Engine knocking

This can occur due to poor fuel quality, incorrect ignition timing, or carbon buildup in the engine.
