Plastic Expansion Tank:
The plastic coolant expansion tank can become brittle and crack over time, requiring replacement.
Coil On Plug Failure:
Ignition coil-on-plug units can fail, leading to misfires and rough running.
Water Pump Leaks:
Water pump seals can degrade, leading to coolant leaks.
Hesitation On Acceleration Xkr:
