Your INFINITI’s engine is the most expensive part of your vehicle, and it’s incredibly complex. For these two reasons alone, if you have engine problems, it’s essential to visit your INFINITI dealer so that experts can repair it. While there are many different problems an engine can have, these are a few examples that it’s time to see us for a repair.
The Engine Won’t Start
If you turn the key in the ignition and nothing happens, you have an engine problem. The three main culprits are your battery, alternator, or starter. The battery provides the electricity sent to the starter to crank your engine. A dead battery may just be a sign of age, but it could also be a sign of a problem with the alternator.
Your alternator provides the power to keep your car’s electrical systems working and recharge your battery. If your alternator starts to fail, it won’t be able to recharge your battery completely. This means the battery power will start to run out of power. The starter could be worn or damaged, which will prevent the battery power from cranking your engine. Our highly trained technicians will find the source of the problem.
Clogged Radiator
Your car’s radiator is essential for controlling the temperature in your engine. The heat from combustion and hundreds of fast-moving parts makes your engine a very hot place. A liquid coolant circulates through your engine to absorb this heat and take it to the radiator. In the radiator, the heat from the coolant is exchanged for cool air from outside.
Coolant slowly degrades as it works. It absorbs dirt, debris, and other contamination. This contamination makes the coolant thicker and more sludgy. When this coolant reaches the radiator, some of the contamination will be deposited in the bottom of the radiator. These deposits can block your radiator and cause your engine to overheat in time. We can repair or replace your radiator.
Faulty Sensors
There are numerous sensors throughout your car. Each of these sensors is attached to a vital component to monitor it for any sign of problems. These sensors can detect minute changes in the component they’re attached to. If a sensor detects a problem, it will relay this to your car’s computer, and one of the lights on your dash will light up.
Unfortunately, sensors can malfunction, which can lead to your computer making a wrong decision. The oxygen sensor, for example, can malfunction. This sensor monitors the amount of unburnt oxygen in the exhaust. Your car’s computer uses this information to adjust the fuel-air mix in your engine. With incorrect information, you can use more fuel, and your engine power will be reduced.
These are some problems that can seriously damage your engine if they’re not repaired. Contact us online or call us ASAP at DARCARS INFINITI of Greenwich if you have any trouble with your engine.
