Is Your Car Showing Signs of Engine Trouble?
Engine problems can begin with a small warning sign and develop into a costly breakdown if ignored. Bring your vehicle to B&R Auto Joburg if you notice:
- An engine warning light
- Engine overheating
- Oil or coolant leaking beneath the vehicle
- Unusual knocking, tapping or rattling sounds
- Loss of engine power
- Rough idling or frequent stalling
- Excessive exhaust smoke
- Increased oil or coolant consumption
- Difficulty starting the engine
- Poor fuel consumption
- A burning smell from the engine compartment
These symptoms can have several possible causes. A proper inspection helps avoid replacing parts unnecessarily and allows the underlying fault to be repaired.
Engine Diagnostic and Fault-Finding
Modern engines rely on mechanical, electrical and electronic systems working together. A dashboard warning light or loss of power does not always identify the failed component.
Our mechanics use advanced Bosch diagnostic equipment together with physical inspections and mechanical testing to identify engine faults accurately. Depending on the symptoms, we may inspect the vehicle’s sensors, ignition system, cooling system, fuel delivery, oil pressure and other related components.
Once the problem has been identified, we will explain the findings and provide a quotation for the recommended repairs.
Engine Problems We Diagnose and Repair
Engine Overheating
An overheating engine may be caused by low coolant, a coolant leak, a faulty thermostat, cooling fan problems, water-pump failure or another cooling-system fault.
Continuing to drive an overheating vehicle can cause serious engine damage. Stop somewhere safe and switch off the engine if the temperature warning light appears or the temperature gauge moves into the red zone.
Oil and Coolant Leaks
Oil and coolant leaks should be investigated before fluid levels become dangerously low. Leaks may develop around seals, gaskets, hoses and other engine components.
We inspect the source of the leak and recommend the correct repair instead of simply topping up the lost fluid.
Unusual Engine Noises
Knocking, tapping, rattling, grinding or squealing noises may indicate worn components, low oil pressure, belt problems or other mechanical faults.
The sooner an unusual noise is inspected, the better the chance of preventing additional damage.
Engine Misfires and Rough Running
A misfiring engine may shake, idle unevenly, hesitate during acceleration or illuminate the engine warning light. Possible causes include faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, injectors, sensors or mechanical engine problems.
Correct diagnosis is important because several different faults can produce similar symptoms.
Loss of Power
Loss of power can be associated with the engine, fuel system, ignition system, air intake, exhaust, turbocharger or electronic controls.
Our technicians inspect the relevant systems to determine why the vehicle is underperforming.
Engine Overhauls and Major Repairs
When an engine has suffered internal wear or substantial damage, more extensive repairs may be necessary. B&R Auto Joburg provides engine overhauls and major engine repairs where appropriate.
The engine will first be assessed to determine the extent of the damage and whether an overhaul is a sensible repair option.
Petrol and Diesel Engine Repairs
We diagnose and repair engine problems affecting petrol and diesel vehicles. Each engine type has its own fuel, ignition or injection systems, but both require correct lubrication, cooling and maintenance to operate reliably.
Our workshop works on a broad range of passenger vehicles, SUVs, bakkies and commercial vehicles.
