Your German car’s engine is a precision machine. It was designed to run perfectly under even difficult circumstances, but that doesn’t mean that it will never experience damage or need repair. Jim’s German Auto is here to help you to recognize when your car’s engine needs a closer look.
The Engine Is Stalling a Lot or Running Rough
One really obvious sign that your German car’s engine is having trouble is that the engine isn’t running the same as usual. You might notice that it feels or sounds rough. You could even be experiencing issues like stalling, which can be a huge indication that something is wrong.
There’s No Power When You Hit the Gas
When you hit the gas pedal, you expect that your German car is going to surge ahead. If there’s engine trouble, though, you might not get nearly the enthusiastic response that you expect out of your car’s engine. That’s disappointing, for sure, but it also means that you need to get your car’s engine checked.
You’re Hearing Strange Noises
Some types of engine problems might mean that you start to hear some odd noises. The car’s engine might rattle or sputter or you might hear a lot of engine knocking. No matter what the sounds are, they’re ultimately a sign that there’s a big problem in the car’s engine that needs to be addressed.
You’re Seeing Excessive Exhaust Smoke
Normally you’re not going to see a lot of exhaust smoke. You might see some exhaust, especially when it’s cold outside, but actual smoke should be pretty rare. But if your German car is having engine trouble, you might start to see exhaust smoke a lot more than is typical.
You’ve Spotted Fluid Leaks
One of the hallmarks of engine problems can also be that you’re seeing fluid leaking underneath the car’s engine compartment. Some of the fluids you might see could be engine coolant or oil. If there’s a lot of fluid leaking, you can’t afford to ignore the possibility that there are big problems in your car’s engine.
