The Engine Management light and what it means if comes on

Illuminates when the ignition is switched on.

It should extinguish as soon as the engine starts.

If it illuminates with the engine running, it indicates a malfunction with the engine management system. Have this checked as soon as possible. The car would need to be plugged into a diagnostics machine to check for engine faults.

With the light illuminated, the vehicle is still safe to drive as long as no other faults are apparent with the engine.

Have the vehicle checked by DD Autoserve as soon as possible to avoid any damage being caused. We use the latest Snap on Diagnostics machine to check faults.

We can carry out any diagnostic checks or repairs that may be required, whether it is just bulbs that need replacing or the engine is running ‘lumpy’ speak to us at DD Autoserve Ltd

What Is a CamBelt?

A timing belt, timing chain or cambelt is a part of an internal combustion engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft so that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. I is also critical to preventing the piston from striking the valves. A cambelt is usually a toothed belt with teeth on the inside surface. A Cambelt is also often known a s a timing belt.

It is vital that a Cambelt is changed before it breaks as this can cause catastrophic damage to an engine.

When should I change my Cambelt?
