So, you’re thinking about getting your BMW’s engine fixed? But what’s the difference between a reconditioned and remanufactured engine? And how do you know if your car even needs an engine checkup?
The Breakdown – Reconditioned Vs. Remanufactured
Do you want to know the differences between a rebuilt, reconditioned, and remanufacturing engine? Take a look.
Reconditioned
Reconditioning is very similar to remanufacturing in terms of product recovery. Both involve replacing damaged or worn components. Still, the big difference is that in remanufacturing, the process is so careful that the product is as good as new and still comes with a warranty. Reconditioned products, on the other hand, cannot use the product’s original warranty.
Remanufactured
Remanufacturing takes old, used, or broken products, making them brand new or even better. The complex and stringent remanufacturing process is in line with specific technical specifications, including engineering, quality, and testing standards. The process yields fully warranted products that meet or exceed OEM specifications.
4 Signs Your Car Needs Engine Checkup
Do you want to when you need to visit the mechanic? The following signs of engine problems should hint that you must make an appointment with your local auto repair shop ASAP.
1. Excessive Exhaust Smoke
One of the first things many people notice if their car’s engine is in trouble is a large amount of exhaust smoke. Depending on the color of the smoke, you can sometimes diagnose the issue at hand. Blue smoke represents burning oil. White smoke indicates burning coolant and black smoke means too much gasoline is used.
2. Check Engine Light
Always get to the repair shop when the check engine light turns on. The sooner you diagnose the issue, the less likely it will result in a big problem.
3. Stalling
If your car suddenly powers off while driving, you must get to an auto shop ASAP. This is a hazardous problem as it prevents you from being able to control your vehicle correctly.
4. Knocking Noise
A knocking noise under the hood can signify worn engine bearings. Repairing these is a bit more extensive, but not doing so will result in much bigger trouble.
