The engine light is on

What to do if a warning light comes on, and when to write to us.

Can you keep driving?

If the car still has power and the engine sounds normal, drive to a workshop with care. If the light flashes or the engine runs rough, stop somewhere safe.

A few checks

Fuel cap on tight, fluids looking normal, no strong smells. Note when the light came on, for example after filling up or on a cold start.

What to send us

We plug in a scanner, explain the fault and agree the next step. Start with diagnostics or write to us.

Want us to check the car?

Send make, model and what you notice on Instagram. We reply before you come to Merchtem.
