Whenever your vehicle’s dashboard starts to flicker – it is never a good sign. Whether it is that your car needs fuel, a safety belt not fastened, a door open or the check engine light – it requires your immediate attention. The difference between all the other lights and the check engine light, is that the check engine light can’t be solved quickly.
Do not delay getting your engine checked, as this might lead to your possible problem worsening.
This is where Chandler Motor Company in Bristol comes into the equation with our world class diagnostic equipment for Citroën, Renault and Peugeot vehicles.
Here’s more on what the check engine light signals and why it is very important to correct the issue quickly.
Gas Cap
This is one of the common issues that can cause the check engine light to go off. This happens when the gas cap has become undone or is not closing the way it should. This will cause your vehicle to show you a warning from the vehicle, making it vital to lock the gas cap into place before driving again.
It is the first place you should be checking to see if that is the problem or not.
Engine Combustion
This is an issue that will concentrate on the engine’s functioning. If it is not acting as it is should, the check engine light will come on. Reasons for this can comprise possible defective connections that are generating issues when it comes engine performance whilst the vehicle is running
Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter is significant when it comes to separating safe and unsafe gasses.
If the gas types are not split, it could cause damage to the vehicle. It is also a health hazard if you aren’t careful about taking care of the problem. It is for this reason that you should allow a specialist to look at it for you.
Spark Plugs
The issue could possibly be caused by your vehicle’s spark plugs. If one of the spark plugs stops working, the check engine light will go on. This can be a warning that other spark plugs will also stop working and should be paid attention to.
Air/Fuel Mixture
The mixture of air/fuel has to be perfect for the vehicle to run correctly and safely.
If there are discrepancies in the mixture or the components do not work accurately, it could result in circumstances where things break down.
