While the list of things that can go wrong in an engine is a pretty extensive one, there are some problems that crop up more often than others. Below are 3 examples that we see all the time at Louden Motorcar Services:
Your timing belt usually needs to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles and that’s a pretty robust part, when you think about it. The belt itself helps to synchronize your crankshaft and camshaft for proper combustion, but when it starts to go out, symptoms like ticking noises, engine misfires, and oil leaks tend to crop up as a warning that it’s time to get to the shop as soon as you can!
Your water pump is a vital component of your vehicle, cycling water and specialized coolant between the radiator and the engine. When trouble arises, you’ll usually see coolant leaks, experience temperature rises, but you may also hear squealing as heat and friction get a stronger foothold in an already-hot engine.
Your catalytic converter helps to reduce emissions and also to maximize the mileage you’re getting on your fuel. When trouble starts, you may notice a decrease in mileage and often you’re going to notice the smell. Rattling and poor acceleration are other signs that may come up and if you notice any of these, it’s a good idea to get into the shop for a checkup right away!

The first concrete sign that your engine is fast approaching failure is a combination of poor performance and intermittent or frequent startup issues. You’ll have quite a few visits from your ‘check engine’ light along the way to warn you, but in most cases the performance dips and startup hassles will make it very clear – Your vehicle needs attention NOW and every day you wait means more damage to your vehicle and potential failure of your engine.
When you are dealing with engine problems, the fuel injection system, emissions system, and the ignition system are all going to get a closer look. The good news is that these systems will be getting lots of attention if you’re keeping up with your vehicle’s regular preventative maintenance, but when your engine’s performance starts becoming compromised then these 3 systems are usually the first things that will be inspected.
The most common cause of car engine failure is almost always your oil – either not enough of it or oil that’s dirty and thus inefficient. Your engine has a lot of moving parts, after all, and once lubrication is compromised then friction, heat, and accelerated wear and tear can quickly become a potentially expensive issue.
