Archive for June 2021Does Your Car Have A Recall Item?Posted June 27, 2021 8:48 AMRecalls are pretty serious for Winnetka residents and don't happen all that often. But sometimes cars have less serious problems that Winnetka residents still might want to know about. For these less serious cases, the vehicle manufacturer issues what is known as a Technical Service Bulletin – or TSB. These bulletins tell Winnetka service centers (including A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis) how to repair a problem that occurs frequently or is especially difficult. No matter how well they're made, vehicles are bound to have problems with their design or manufacturing. Think of all the moving parts. When the government thinks a problem is really serious, they require the vehicle manufacturer to issue recall notices to Winnetka residents and to fix the affected vehicles free of charge. The they try to contact all Winnetka residents who own that type of car so they can have it taken care of at their Winnetka service center. To find out if your car has any recall issues, give us a call: A.G.

Rotten Egg Smell (Sulfur Smell Causes)Posted June 6, 2021 10:46 AMThe pungent smell of rotten eggs can send people running for the hills. So when that odor is inside your vehicle, yikes! Yolks! The good news is that a trained service technician can search the source of that smell and stanch the stench… that comes from another words that begins with S. Sulfur. Fuel contains small amounts of hydrogen sulfide, but they're enough to stink up a vehicle when it's not properly burned. You may know that the smell of rotten eggs can often be a sign of a catalytic converter that isn't working the way it should. That could be due to age, damage or an abundance of oil that's clogging it up. If a sensor in charge of managing the fuel has failed, the engine can run with too rich of a fuel mixture. That can overload the catalytic converter and allow some of the byproducts to escape without interruption from the chemical reaction that is supposed to prevent them from going out the tailpipe. There's another possibility, but it's usually only in stick shift vehicles. That's leaking, old transmission fluid. Catalytic converter repairs are best left to a professional. Technicians at your vehicle service facility have equipment and training that can help them pinpoint the cause of this funky fragrance. Once the cause is found, repairs made and/or parts replaced, the smell should go away fairly rapidly. A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis | ||
