Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

DBS may not engage properly, leading to reduced braking assistance during emergency situations.

Engine misfire

Misfires can occur due to issues with spark plugs, fuel injectors, or ignition coils, leading to rough idling and reduced performance.

Oil leaks

Common in V-shaped engines, oil leaks may occur from valve covers, oil pan, or other seals, leading to reduced oil levels and potential engine damage.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger (TC) may fail or underperform due to issues like oil starvation, bearing wear, or contamination, causing reduced engine power and efficiency.

Direct fuel injection (dfi) problems

DFI systems can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, leading to poor fuel economy and reduced engine performance.

Cooling system failures

Problems with the cooling system, such as radiator or water pump failures, can lead to engine overheating and potential engine damage.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain may stretch or wear, causing timing issues, engine noise, and potential engine failure if not addressed.

Electronic issues

Modern engines with complex electronic systems can suffer from software glitches or sensor failures, leading to engine performance issues or warning lights.
