With our commitment to honesty, value, and communication, we are dedicated to diagnosing and resolving any issues your vehicle may face. Let’s delve into the common causes of a check engine light in various European makes and how our expert team can assist.
The check engine light is part of your vehicle’s on board diagnostics system (OBD-II), designed to monitor the engine and other systems’ performance. When a fault is detected, this light will turn on to alert the driver.
There are several generic issues that could cause the check engine light to come on across all vehicle makes, including:
Volkswagen vehicles may display the check engine light due to EVAP system issues, which prevent fuel vapors from leaking into the atmosphere. Sensor failures and vacuum leaks are also common.
Audi’s check engine light may indicate problems with the engine’s timing system or the need for regular maintenance checks to prevent more significant issues.
In Volvo cars, the light often points to faults within the emissions control system, including the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system, which helps reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.
Subaru vehicles might trigger the check engine light due to sensor malfunctions within the all-wheel-drive system or engine cylinder misfires.
For Porsche owners, this light can indicate high-performance engine demands not being met, including issues with fuel mixture or ignition system problems.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles might show the check engine light for a variety of reasons, including DPF clogs in diesel engines or sensor malfunctions in emission reduction systems like AdBlue.
