If your car is losing power, overheating, misfiring, making unusual noises or showing an engine warning light, getting the fault properly diagnosed early can save a lot of trouble later. This guide brings together the key things Stoke-on-Trent drivers should know.

Starting with diagnostics

Modern engines are heavily controlled by electronics, and a fault code isn't always the same as a complete diagnosis. DB Autos combines diagnostic testing with hands-on mechanical inspection.

Common engine problems

These include misfires, overheating, oil and coolant leaks, timing belt and chain problems, head-gasket and cylinder-head faults, unusual noises, loss of power and poor starting.

When repair becomes replacement

Sometimes the question becomes whether repairing the existing engine is economically sensible, depending on the vehicle's age, value, mileage and the extent of the damage.
