Popular services linked to a Engine Inspection:

Fuel Hose Replacement

In order to get your fuel from your gas tank to your engine, it travels through a dedicated fuel hose. These hoses are a special make up and are designed to withstand the toxic nature of petrol or diesel. Over time, due to heat, wear and tear, or age, these hoses break down slowly.

Coolant Reservoir Replacement

The coolant reservoir holds excess coolant and in the event that the cooling system starts to run a little low it can draw more coolant. It draws coolant out of the system if it gets too hot and then feeds this back to the cooling system. This stops the system from running dry and also giving you a clear indication of how much coolant is in the system.

Mass Airflow Sensor Replacement

The mass airflow sensor checks the amount of airflow that’s coming into the engine. It then sends this information to the ECU which will use this info to adjust the fuel mixture that is injected via the fuel injectors.

Oil Filter Housing Replacement

Your oil filter is critical to your engine’s maintenance. It needs something to screw into and somewhere to get the oil from. This is where the oil filter housing comes into play. The oil filter housing has the simple existence of holding the oil filter and feed lines. Most cars will never need to worry about the housing, the oil filter is obviously the most serviced item of the assembly. However, if there’s a problem with the oil filter housing, it needs to be fixed.
