Our answers
Tyre wear and incorrect tyre pressure have a major effect on your fuel consumption. Tyres are designed to be efficient at a precise pressure; if they are not inflated enough, the tyre will be squashed against the road, causing more friction. In turn, this means that fuel conmsumption can go up by as much as 20%. Likewise over-inflating your tyres can be bad for fuel consumption. Make sure to check the correct pressures for your vehicle, which can usually be located in your handbook, or on a sticker inside the car (for example, on the inside of the door).
If the tread on your tyres has worn away, they won’t perform to their best either. As your tyres won’t be able to grip the road as well, you’ll use more energy (and fuel) when accelerating.
The most likely answer is that the shock absorbers have been worn or damaged. If working correctly, the shock absorbers would stop any excessive leaning or dipping. While a certain amount of body roll is normal in any car, if you have specifically noticed a change in the way your car is handling, you should always bring your car in for a technician to take a look.
Without your entire suspension system in good working order, your car is likely to be less efficient and more importantly, your safety could be at risk.
There could be a problem with the catalytic converter or the lambda sensor. The lambda sensor is located in the exhaust system and allows the engine to control the ratio of air and fuel. When this sensor is damaged, the signal to the engine fails. This sends the vehicle into a limp mode, which generally prevents the vehicle from going over 40 mph.
If the catalytic converter is damaged on the other hand, harmful gases are not transformed correctly. Again, a signal is sent to the engine, switching it to limp mode.
In either case, call your local Eurorepar Car Service Centre who will be able to diagnose the issue and suggest a solution.
If the battery warning light is showing on your dashboard, it could be that the battery is failing to charge. It’s possible that the alternator isn’t working correctly or the battery itself may need changing.
In either case, it’s important to have your battery checked by one of our technicians. If the battery fails completely, you won’t be able to start your car.
