Check Engine Light

Check Engine Light On? Expert Diagnostics for Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen, and Volvo

If your check engine light comes on, don’t ignore it—especially if you drive a Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, or Volvo. This warning often signals underlying issues that require immediate attention to avoid costly repairs.

Common Causes for the Check Engine Light:

1. Oxygen Sensor Failure – Reduces fuel efficiency and can damage your catalytic converter.

2. Loose or Damaged Gas Cap – Triggers emissions warnings; usually an easy fix.

3. Catalytic Converter Issues – Affects emissions and performance; often linked to engine misfires.

4. Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) Faults/Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (MAP sensor)– Leads to poor fuel-air mix, causing rough running, hesitation, smoke out the tailpipe.

5. Ignition Coil or Spark Plug Failure – Causes misfires and rough idling, common in high-performance European engines.

6. EGR Valve Problems – Results in higher emissions and reduced acceleration.

7. Engine Control Unit (ECU) Faults – Leads to erratic performance, no start, poor starting.

8. Transmission Issues – Triggers shifting problems and gear slippage.

9. Fuel Injector Failure – Causes misfires and poor fuel economy. Can cause engine damage.

10. Turbocharger/Supercharger Malfunctions – Results in power loss and black smoke.
