Engine diagnostics is a multi-sensor problem. Vibration, sound, pressure, temperature, fuel trims and live sensor data all have to be read together before a fault can be identified with any confidence.
Reading a fault code is the first five minutes of the job, not the whole job. A P0171 code tells you the engine is running lean — it does not tell you whether that is a vacuum leak, a failing mass airflow sensor, a tired fuel pump or an exhaust leak upstream of the oxygen sensor. We test to confirm before we quote.
Our workshop runs current-generation scan tools covering European, Japanese, Korean, American and Australian vehicles, plus oscilloscopes and pressure testing gear for the faults a scan tool alone will never find.
Come and see us if
- The check engine, ABS or SRS warning light is on
- The engine is running rough, hesitating or stalling
- Fuel economy has dropped noticeably
- The car has failed an emissions or eSafety inspection
- Another workshop has replaced parts and not fixed it
