Is this light on your dashboard on?
We perform diagnostic checks and fault finding on all vehicles with fuel injection systems and electronic ignition systems with EOBD or maufactures protocols, whether the engine is a non start or has running problems.
What is EOBD?
EOBD is an abbreviation of European On-Board Diagnostics.
All petrol cars sold within Europe since 1 Jan 2001, and diesel cars manufactured from 2003, must have on-board diagnostic systems to monitor engine emissions.
These systems were introduced in line with European Directive 98/69/EC to monitor and reduce emissions from cars.
All such cars must also have a standard 16 pin EOBD diagnostic socket that provides access to this system.
The majority of vehicles imported into New Zealand produced after 1 Jan 2001 will have EOBD protocols built in. Vehicles produced before this date will have different protocols which we are also equipped to diagnose.

If your car has the engine check light showing on the dash, either flashing or constant, this is an indication of a fault with the engine management system, there may be a component or wiring fault. The engine computer will set the
basic settings, idle speed, mixture, ignition timing ect, to a base setting as a 'get you home' Sometimes you may not feel the difference in the way the car behaves, however, if left, you will burn more fuel, have less power and can cause further damage to the vehicle.
At Mobile Vehicle Diagnostic Centre we are fully equipped to diagnose and repair the causes of these problems.

Is this light on your dashboard on?
Due to antilock brakes being such a high factor in saving lives and preventing serious injury, all vehicles produced in Europe and for the European market, by law have to be fitted with ABS as standard. In New Zealand you will see a vast percentage of
vehicles with this system fitted.
When the ABS computer detects a fault it will turn on the ABS warning light, like the one above. When this light is on the ABS is switched off and your vehicle will resume to normal braking, this will increase your stopping distance making it harder to avoid
possible dangerous situations. With the ABS light on you will also fail your Warrant Of fitness.
