Your car’s engine is a complex piece of machinery, and keeping it in good working condition is vital. Ignoring potential warning signs can lead to more expensive repairs and inconvenient breakdowns. At Jimmy’s Top Tech Auto, we provide expert engine repair in the greater Austin, TX area. Here are five signs of engine trouble that you shouldn’t ignore. Check Engine Light Illuminates The check engine light on your dashboard is often the first sign that something is wrong with your engine. While it can sometimes indicate minor issues like a loose gas cap, it could also signal more serious problems. If this light comes on, it’s important to have a diagnostic check performed to uncover the root cause. Unusual Noises from the Engine Strange sounds coming from under the hood are a common symptom of engine trouble. A knocking noise may suggest worn-out bearings, while a hissing sound might indicate a vacuum leak or cooling system problem. Grinding or squealing noises could be linked to a failing alternator. These sounds don’t typically resolve on their own and should prompt a visit to the mechanic. Reduced Performance When your car starts to feel sluggish or struggles to accelerate, it’s often a sign of engine trouble. This could be caused by a variety of issues, including ignition system malfunctions. Reduced engine performance not only makes driving less enjoyable, but could also lead to worsening problems if left unaddressed. Discolored/Excessive Exhaust Smoke Changes in your car’s exhaust emissions can provide valuable clues about engine health. Blue smoke typically indicates that oil is burning, often due to worn piston rings or valve seals. White smoke might be a sign of coolant leaking into the combustion chamber, while black smoke is commonly caused by an engine running too rich. Excessive exhaust smoke, regardless of the color, should always be inspected promptly. Fluid Leaks Under the Car Seeing fluid pooling under your car is a clear warning that something is wrong. Engine oil leaks are often caused by worn seals, while coolant leaks can lead to overheating if not addressed quickly. Fuel leaks are dangerous due to the risk of fire. Regularly checking your car for leaks and fixing them as soon as possible is essential for maintaining engine integrity.

Your car's transmission fluid is vital for keeping the transmission system lubricated, cool, and functioning smoothly. But as the miles add up, transmission fluid can become contaminated, leading to serious issues. At Jimmy’s Top Tech Auto, we can expertly address issues with your car’s transmission fluid. Here’s a look at four warning signs that your transmission fluid may be contaminated. Discolored Transmission Fluid Healthy transmission fluid is typically a bright red color. If the fluid appears dark brown, black, or has a burnt odor, this indicates contamination. Over time, transmission fluid can become dirty from metal shavings or other debris, which causes it to lose its effectiveness. Discolored transmission fluid should be brought to the mechanic’s attention ASAP. Sluggish Gear Shifts Contaminated transmission fluid often makes it harder for the transmission to engage properly, resulting in sluggish or delayed shifts. You might notice the engine revs higher than normal before shifting gears, or the car may hesitate to change gears altogether. With contaminated transmission fluid, issues can arise such as poor lubrication and a lack of the hydraulic pressure necessary for smooth shifting. Strange Noises Transmission systems should run smoothly and quietly. If you hear grinding, whining, or clunking noises as gears shift, contaminated fluid could be the culprit. Dirty fluid may no longer reduce friction effectively, causing excess wear on the transmission's components and leading to unusual sounds. Overheating Transmission Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in keeping the transmission cool. If it’s contaminated, the system is more prone to overheating, which can result in substantial problems, and increases the risk of transmission failure. You may notice a burning smell, which is a warning sign that the fluid has degraded or that the transmission is overheating.
