Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

The DBS system might fail to activate or deactivate properly, potentially due to sensor issues or software glitches.

High maintenance costs

The W-shaped engine configuration with 12 cylinders can be complex and expensive to maintain, requiring specialized knowledge and parts.

Emission control issues

Adhering to LEV 3/Tier 3 emission standards can sometimes lead to problems with the emission control system, such as clogged filters or malfunctioning sensors.

Cooling system problems

High-performance engines like the 635 hp W-shaped engine can generate a lot of heat, leading to potential cooling system failures if not properly maintained.

Turbocharger failures

High-performance engines often use turbochargers, which can be prone to failure due to high temperatures and pressures.

Fuel system problems

High-performance engines require precise fuel delivery, and issues like clogged injectors or failing fuel pumps can occur.

Oil consumption

High power output engines may consume more oil, leading to potential issues if not monitored and maintained properly.

Electrical system issues

Modern vehicles with advanced features like DBS often have complex electrical systems that can develop faults, leading to various malfunctions.

Timing chain/belt wear

High-performance engines put more stress on the timing chain or belt, potentially leading to premature wear and failure.

Engine overheating

With a high-performance engine, there's always a risk of overheating, especially if the cooling system is not adequately maintained.
