ENGINE DIAGNOSTICSAn engine warning light, unusual noise or loss of power can indicate a developing issue. Early diagnosis can help prevent more extensive damage.
A warning light can indicate faults requiring proper diagnostics.
Irregular running may indicate ignition, fuel or airflow problems.
These symptoms can signal issues that should be inspected promptly.
See what should be checked, when inspection becomes urgent and which basic observations can help identify a developing engine problem.
| Service item | What we inspect | When to check | Safe check before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01Engine oil | Check oil level, oil condition and signs of leaks or contamination. | During scheduled servicing or immediately when oil warnings appear. | With the engine cool, look for fresh oil spots beneath the parked vehicle. |
| 02Cooling system | Inspect coolant condition, hoses and signs of overheating or leakage. | During servicing or whenever the temperature rises unexpectedly. | Check the temperature gauge and look for visible coolant beneath the vehicle. |
| 03Engine noises | Investigate knocking, ticking, rattling and other unusual mechanical sounds. | As soon as a new or worsening noise develops. | Record the sound and note whether it occurs at startup, while idling or when accelerating. |
| 04Warning lights | Read fault codes and identify the cause of engine warning indicators. | Immediately when an engine or oil warning light remains on. | Photograph the dashboard symbol and note whether it stays on or flashes. |
| 05Exhaust smoke | Assess unusual smoke, burning smells and possible oil or coolant issues. | Whenever smoke changes colour or becomes more noticeable. | From a safe distance, note the smoke colour and whether it appears at startup or continuously. |
| 06Performance changes | Diagnose rough idling, misfires, reduced power and difficult starting. | As soon as normal engine performance changes. | Note when the issue occurs and whether it worsens while accelerating or idling. |
Never remove a hot radiator cap or continue driving if the engine overheats, the oil warning light appears or heavy smoke comes from the vehicle.
