All Known Issues

Supercharger Bearing Noise (V8)

SeriousEngine

The Eaton TVS2300 supercharger on V8 models develops bearing wear in the front nose cone assembly from high-RPM operation and heat cycling. A distinctive whine worsens progressively and can eventually lead to rotor contact if bearings fail completely, requiring a full supercharger rebuild.

Est. Repair Cost: £1,500–£5,000
Warning Signs:

Progressive whining noise from supercharger, Metallic grinding at high RPM, Rattle at idle from front of engine, Reduced boost and power output

What to Inspect:
  • Listen for supercharger whine from cold start
  • Check for metallic particles in supercharger oil if accessible
  • Verify power delivery is consistent across the rev range

Seized Active Exhaust Valves

ModerateExhaust & Emissions

Est. Repair Cost: £400–£1,000
Warning Signs:

Exhaust tone doesn’t change when the button is pressed, Rattling from the exhaust mufflers

What to Inspect:
  • Toggle the active exhaust button and listen for a change in tone

Rear Differential Oil Seal Leak

ModerateGearbox & Transmission

The rear differential develops oil leaks from failed pinion seals, which can lead to wear of the diff pinion due to insufficient lubrication. If left untreated for too long, a whining noise develops and a full differential replacement may be required.

Est. Repair Cost: £200–£3,000
Warning Signs:

Oil patches under the rear of the car, Whining noise from rear axle at highway speeds, Vibration felt through rear seats on deceleration

What to Inspect:
  • Inspect the rear differential for oil leaks
  • Listen for whining noise on overrun during test drive
  • Check differential fluid level if accessible
