Check Engine Light Diagnostics in Fort Collins, CO

A check engine light gives you a clue. It doesn’t give you the answer.

When the check engine light comes on in your European vehicle, you want to know why—and what actually needs to be repaired.

At European Motor Cars in Fort Collins, we specialize in diagnosing European vehicles. Our experienced technicians use advanced European diagnostic equipment, technical information, testing and years of hands-on experience to find the cause of the problem, not simply read a code and start replacing parts.

A Fault Code Is Only the Beginning

Your vehicle’s computer may point us in the right direction, but a trouble code doesn’t necessarily tell us which part has failed.

A check engine light can be triggered by problems involving:

• Oxygen and air/fuel sensors
• Ignition coils and misfires
• Mass airflow sensors
• Vacuum and intake leaks
• Fuel delivery
• Emissions systems
• Cooling and engine-management systems
• Electrical and communication faults

That’s where proper diagnosis matters.

We test the system, follow the evidence and determine what is actually causing the warning light before recommending repairs.

European Cars Require European Expertise

Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche, Volkswagen, Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles have sophisticated electronic and engine-management systems. Diagnosing them properly requires the right equipment—and technicians who understand how those systems work together.

That’s what we do every day.

Is Your Check Engine Light On?

Don’t ignore it, and don’t assume the code automatically means you need a particular part.

If the light is steady, schedule a diagnostic appointment so we can determine what your vehicle is trying to tell you.

If the check engine light is flashing, the problem may be more serious. Reduce driving and contact us for guidance.
