What Is Engine Diagnostics?

Engine diagnostics is a critical process that involves reading your vehicle’s onboard computer system to identify potential issues within the engine and other key components. Our advanced diagnostic equipment can pinpoint problems related to fuel injectors, air flow, engine temperature, and more; this helps us save you time and money by addressing issues before they become serious.

Common Symptoms of Engine Problems

Is your car showing any of these signs? If so, it’s time to book an engine diagnostic check with our specialists in Frome:

Warning lights: If your check engine light is on, it’s important to get it checked as soon as possible to avoid possible engine damage and potentially costly repairs, warning lights on your dashboard can also fail an MOT.

Decreased fuel efficiency: A sudden drop in MPG could indicate engine trouble.

Rough idling or stalling: Your engine should run smoothly. If it’s not, there may be a problem.

Unusual noises or excessive smoke from the engine or exhaust: Knocking or tapping sounds can signal deeper engine issues, and smoke from your exhaust can indicate potential turbocharger failure and can lead to engine failure.

How Does an Engine Diagnostic Test Work?

An engine diagnostic test connects to your vehicle’s onboard computer system to scan for error codes or faults. At Treads Vehicle Services, our expert technicians use modern diagnostic software to interpret these codes, isolate faults and identify the root cause of the issue. Once we know what’s wrong, we can recommend the necessary repairs to get your car back to optimal performance.
