If your car has developed engine issues, it’s time to get an engine diagnostic. And given that a Volkswagen’s engine is a high-performance piece of precision machinery, there’s no one better qualified to diagnose the problem and correct it than your Volkswagen dealer.
Not Sure What’s the Matter? An Engine Diagnostic at Your Volkswagen Dealer Can Help
Symptoms Something Might be Wrong
While some engine issues will come with a convenient Check Engine light on the vehicle’s dashboard, surprisingly, not all engine troubles will generate a check engine light. For example, one subtle sign that your car needs an oil change is a change in the sound of the engine, especially when it’s at idle or just after starting up; similarly, shaking, knocking, vibration, or other issues can be felt without them necessarily triggering a Check Engine light.
Of course, some signs are much less subtle, such as an engine that won’t start, a smell of something burning, or smoke coming from under the hood. Other times the Check Engine light will flash, indicating an urgent need to pull over and turn off your engine as soon as it’s safe to do so. In cases like these, it’s best to get your VW towed to our dealership right away.
What The Problem Might Be
As just a short list of examples, wiring can go bad, poor maintenance or oil impurities can cause physical issues in the engine, vibration can loosen bolts over time, bad spark plugs can cause misfires, and more. If your vehicle is exhibiting engine problems, a thorough inspection and diagnostic process is required to make sure your vehicle is safe to drive.
