Safety and diagnosis

Can You Drive Before Repair?

Engine faults can become urgent when they cause overheating, low oil pressure, severe noise, or loss of power.

Stop driving or get urgent inspection if:

The temperature gauge rises rapidly or steam is visible.
An oil-pressure warning, severe knock, or major fluid loss appears.
The engine misfires badly, stalls, or loses power in traffic.
