Service

While fuel-injector cleaning is often recommended by shops and dealer service centers, it probably isn’t necessary unless it’s correcting a running problem.

Since an engine can suffer severe damage if it’s run too hot, you should be concerned if there are indications the engine is overheating.

Here’s some reasons why your car window may not be rolling up and ways to fix it.

Diesel engines don’t have spark plugs; instead, they use the super-heated air created by their high compression ratios to ignite the diesel fuel as it’s injected into the cylinder.

Perhaps the most direct way to find out if a car is still under warranty is to contact a dealer for that make of car or the manufacturer itself. But there are other ways.

Once your car’s warranty expires, the cost of all repairs comes out of the pockets of owners, and nervousness about that prospect has made buying an extended warranty a popular option.

While it’s likely seldom done, some vehicles’ maintenance schedules do include an interval for changing the differential fluid, though perhaps only under “severe service” conditions.

Limp Mode allows your car to be driven a limited distance at reduced speed when something is wrong and may cause severe damage or stop the vehicle from running.

A ticking noise from your car is most likely related to the engine, but it could also be coming from something else.

While the possibilities for why your car might seem sluggish can make it difficult to track down the problem, a good place to start is with illuminated warning lights on the instrument panel.
