What happens when an engine sensor fails?

The symptoms depend on which sensor is affected. Engine sensors provide important information to the engine control unit, helping manage functions such as fuel injection, ignition and engine timing.

For example, a faulty crankshaft sensor can affect the engine’s ability to determine crankshaft speed and position, which may lead to starting or running issues.

The right diagnosis starts with identifying the sensor involved.

Did Winter Affect Your Battery’s Cranking Performance?

Cold winter temperatures can affect battery cranking performance, especially if your battery was already showing signs of weakness.

With spring here, it’s a good time to check your battery and make sure it’s still delivering the starting performance your vehicle needs.

City driving: Frequent stop-start braking can increase wear.
Highway driving: Fewer braking events, but regular inspections are still important.
Gravel roads: Dust and loose material can affect brake components.

Know your driving environment and keep your brakes properly maintained.

Clean Air for a Healthy Engine.

Your engine needs a steady supply of clean air to operate properly. The engine air filter helps maintain airflow while keeping dust and other contaminants away from engine components.

A dirty or clogged filter can affect airflow and engine efficiency, making regular inspection and replacement an important part of vehicle maintenance.

Keep your engine breathing clean.

MYTH: You need to warm up your engine for 10 minutes every morning to make it last longer.

FACT: Modern engines don’t need long warm-ups. Oil starts circulating within seconds.

Start the engine, wait around 30 - 60 seconds, then drive gently. Avoid hard acceleration until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

Excessive idling can:
• Waste fuel
• Increase wear from incomplete combustion
• Contribute to carbon deposits

In very cold conditions, a short warm-up can help, but extended idling isn’t recommended.

Drive smoothly. Service regularly. Let modern engineering do the rest.

Small Coolant Leaks. Big Consequences.
A small coolant leak might not seem urgent, but if left unchecked, it can lead to expensive engine repairs.

Keep an eye out for:
Pressure loss: reducing cooling system performance
Overheating: low coolant means less effective heat removal
Cavitation: trapped air or low coolant can contribute to component erosion
Reduced cooling efficiency: making it harder to maintain the correct engine temperature

Regularly inspect hoses, clamps, the radiator, water pump and expansion tank for leaks or damage. Fixing a small leak early is far better than dealing with an overheated engine later.

Would This Belt Pass Your Inspection?

Your serpentine belt works hard every time you drive, but wear can go unnoticed until it fails.

Keep an eye out for:
• Cracks in the rubber
• A shiny, glazed surface
• Missing or damaged ribs

These are common indicators that a serpentine belt may be nearing the end of its service life. Regular inspections are a simple way to reduce the risk of unexpected roadside breakdowns.

Your vehicle may be telling you something if it starts vibrating between 80 and 120 km/h.

Common causes may include tyre or wheel-related issues, suspension wear or other mechanical components. Rather than assuming the cause, a professional inspection can help identify the source and support informed maintenance decisions.

Providing practical advice and dependable support helps keep customers moving with confidence.

Driven by Trust. Powered by Excellence.
