At Reynolds of Selby in North Yorkshire, we offer expert engine diagnostics services to identify and resolve any issues with your vehicle’s engine performance and efficiency. Modern engines rely on complex systems and sensors that work together to deliver optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. When an issue arises, it can be challenging to identify the cause without professional diagnostics. Our experienced technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to access and analyse your car’s on-board systems, accurately identifying faults and providing reliable solutions to keep your engine running smoothly.

The Importance of Engine Diagnostics

The engine is the heart of your vehicle, and maintaining its performance is essential for reliability, fuel efficiency, and safety. Over time, components in the engine can wear, sensors may malfunction, and warning lights may appear on your dashboard, signalling potential problems. Ignoring these signs can lead to more severe damage and costly repairs. Our comprehensive engine diagnostics service allows us to quickly and accurately identify issues, ensuring you receive timely repairs that prevent further complications and keep your vehicle operating at its best.

When Should You Consider an Engine Diagnostics Service?

Several signs may indicate the need for engine diagnostics:

• Warning Lights: Dashboard lights, such as the check engine light, ABS light, or airbag warning, indicate an underlying issue that needs immediate attention.
• Poor Fuel Efficiency: A drop in fuel economy may result from engine misfires, sensor issues, or other performance-related faults.
• Rough Idling or Stalling: If your engine struggles to maintain a steady idle or stalls unexpectedly, a diagnostic check can pinpoint the cause.
• Unusual Noises: Knocking, tapping, or rattling sounds from the engine can signal worn components or timing issues.
• Loss of Power or Acceleration: Reduced engine power, sluggish acceleration, or poor throttle response often point to fuel, ignition, or airflow issues that need diagnostics.

Our Engine Diagnostics Process

At Reynolds of Selby, we provide a thorough and precise engine diagnostics service using state-of-the-art equipment and expertise to deliver reliable solutions.

1. Full Vehicle System Scan

Our diagnostic process begins with a full scan of your vehicle’s on-board computer systems. We connect to the car’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) and retrieve any error codes stored in the system. These codes give us initial insights into the specific faults affecting the engine, such as misfires, sensor malfunctions, or fuel system issues.

2. Component Testing and Analysis

After retrieving diagnostic codes, we conduct a series of tests to verify the affected components and pinpoint the exact issue. We inspect critical engine components like the fuel injectors, spark plugs, ignition coils, airflow sensors, and throttle body to ensure they are working correctly. This allows us to identify problems that may not immediately trigger a warning light but could impact engine performance.

3. Sensor and Electrical System Checks

Modern engines rely on sensors to monitor everything from fuel and air mixture to temperature and emissions. Faulty sensors can cause inaccurate readings, leading to poor performance, increased emissions, and fuel inefficiency. Our diagnostics service includes checking sensors and the electrical system to ensure all signals are correct, and components are functioning as expected.

4. Fuel System and Emissions Testing

To ensure optimal engine efficiency, we examine the fuel system for any issues related to fuel delivery, such as clogged fuel injectors or faulty fuel pumps. We also perform emissions testing to check for elevated emissions, ensuring your vehicle meets environmental standards and identifying issues like faulty oxygen sensors or catalytic converters.

5. Air Intake and Exhaust System Inspection

Efficient airflow is critical for engine performance. Our diagnostics include a detailed inspection of the air intake and exhaust systems, checking for clogs, leaks, or malfunctioning parts that can cause poor fuel combustion, reduced power, and increased emissions.

6. Comprehensive Report and Recommended Repairs

Once diagnostics are complete, we provide you with a detailed report that explains any identified issues, along with recommended repairs or maintenance. Our technicians will discuss options with you, ensuring you fully understand the findings and the necessary steps to restore your engine’s performance.
