A1 Diagnostics can diagnose and fix power loss problems on your vehicle.

There are several reasons why a car may be losing power while driving. Whatever the cause we can diagnose the problem and get your vehicle back in tip top condition leaving our independent garage under full power.

Lets look at common causes why a vehicle can be losing power, these include:

Fuel-related issues: Insufficient fuel supply or a clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, resulting in reduced power output.

Ignition system problems: Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or a malfunctioning ignition system can lead to weak or irregular spark production, causing power loss.

Air intake issues: If the air filter is dirty or clogged, it can restrict the amount of air reaching the engine, affecting combustion and reducing power.

Exhaust system blockage: A blocked or damaged exhaust system, such as a clogged catalytic converter, can lead to back pressure, limiting the engine’s ability to expel exhaust gases and reducing performance.

Engine mechanical problems: Various issues within the engine, such as a worn-out timing belt, low compression in the cylinders, or a malfunctioning sensor, can result in power loss.

Transmission problems: A failing or slipping transmission can prevent the engine power from effectively reaching the wheels, leading to reduced power output.

Electrical system malfunctions: Problems with the electrical system, such as a failing alternator or battery, can impact the performance of various components, including the engine, resulting in power loss.

Overheating: If the engine is overheating due to cooling system failures or low coolant levels, it can lead to power loss as the engine’s performance is compromised.

Mechanical issues: Other mechanical problems, such as a malfunctioning turbocharger, worn-out belts, or a faulty sensor, can also contribute to power loss.

In any case, it is recommended to have a qualified mechanic diagnose and address the issue to determine the specific cause of power loss in your car.
