Engine repair and service

The engine is the main and one of the most complex assemblies in a car. It works under heavy load every day, so a fault in it can seriously affect the whole vehicle. Sooner or later the moment comes when a car needs engine work.

That can mean a selective repair – valve adjustment, for instance – or a full rebuild that involves inspecting and overhauling every assembly and part and replacing what is worn.

How do you know the engine has a fault?

Signs that your engine needs an overhaul include a loss of power, with the engine no longer reaching the revs it should. While driving you feel shaking or jerking that was not there before, and you hear knocking, grinding or unusual noise. The exhaust smoke changes colour (white most likely means a coolant leak, blue points to oil, black to fuelling problems). Oil consumption rises, there are leaks of fluid (oil, coolant) or fuel, and puddles appear under the car far too often.

If several of these signs appear together, an engine overhaul is likely to be needed. You can book this service in Warsaw at our RemZone workshop. All our technicians have extensive hands-on experience, and rebuild and set-up work is carried out on modern equipment. That lets us complete the job quickly and at a competitive price.

How is an engine rebuild carried out?

An engine overhaul is done step by step and includes:

• Fault diagnosis. This is the first stage, where the current condition of the engine is established and the scope of the work is assessed.
• Engine disassembly. After the diagnostic work the unit is stripped down. This gives access to the internal components so their condition and the need for replacement can be judged.
• Repair or full replacement of parts. The decision depends on the extent of the faults found. Components such as pistons, rings, shafts and bearings can usually be repaired. The head gasket is the part most often replaced. Valve stem seals – consumables that wear quickly – may also be replaced during the service.
• Engine reassembly. After the repair work the engine is rebuilt and refitted, and all seals and connections are checked along the way.
• A test drive is carried out to confirm the engine works correctly and to catch any small issues.

How maintenance affects how often the engine needs repair

To avoid frequent engine repairs the car must be serviced properly and regularly. That means changing the oil and filters, checking the cooling system, running regular diagnostics on the engine and other systems, and using good-quality fuel.

If you are looking for somewhere that does car repair in Warsaw properly, you have found it. This is our RemZone workshop, where every job is done quickly and at a sensible price. The cost is calculated individually in each case.
