Our answers
Your car’s engine is a complex piece of machinery containing a number of moving parts. Most of these components are metal, some of which need to rub against each other. For example, pistons move up and down inside cylinders, rubbing against the interior wall.
Engine oil lubricates this process, making it more ‘slippery’. Despite this, friction still occurs, creating microparticles of metal and dirt, which are carried away by the oil.
During this lubrication and cleaning process, oil is slowly burned off. Over time this means your oil level drops and needs to be replaced or topped up.
An MOT test generally takes 45-60 minutes to complete. Some Eurorepar Car Service Centres offer waiting appointments; if you plan to wait with us while we carry out the MOT test, just let us know. We’ll do our best to keep you updated with the progress of your vehicle.
Yes. Eurorepar Car Service centres are equipped with the right tools and expertise to repair all major makes and models. So whatever brand you drive, we’re here to help. Find your local Centre and get in touch.
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.
Yes. When you book your car in for a service at a Eurorepar Car Service Centre, just let us know that your car is still under warranty.
