Experiencing signs that you may need an engine overhaul?

Engine overhaul refers to the replacement of the parts of the engine  and to rebuild the engine for eliminating the occurring problems.  This helps to improve the performance of your engine and extend its life. Engine overhaul cost depends on a few factors, including the extensiveness of overhaul chosen.

There are a few symptoms which will warn you beforehand that may need an engine overhaul. It is advisable to book an appointment to have your car checked, as these symptoms might lead to intensive damage to your car engine if left unchecked for an extended period of time. The symptoms are as follows:

  • Thumping: The most common symptom a car engine shows when it needs an engine overhaul is the continuous and increasing knocking sound coming from your engine.
  • Misfiring: This symptom occurs because of the loss in compression of the car. The engine starts to miss the combustion cycle. It could also turn out to be caused by your fuel injectors needing cleaning.
  • Excessive fuel consumption: The engine, when in need of an overhaul, starts to consume an excessive amount of fuel.
  • Extreme smoke: Excessive smoke produced by your car engine is another warning sign.
  • Oil sludge: Another common symptom is sludge when you examine your oil stick.

Top Versus Major Overhaul

There are mainly two terms used for the engine overhaul namely, top overhaul and major overhaul. The extensive of work done is the main difference between the two, and correspondingly affects engine overhaul cost. A top overhaul is the repair and replacement of just the parts on top of an engine - namely the cylinders, the valve gear or the piston and its rings. With a major overhaul, however, the engine is completely dissembled and reconstructed, with damaged parts replaced.

After my free servicing period for my car, I thought it was time to look out for better priced alternatives. I gave ECV Car Service Singapore a call and tried out their service. It was a hassle free experience and good value. - Kenneth Chin, Buona Vista

I had a tire leak caused by a puncture after driving over some construction debris. ECV Car Service Singapore could fix this up for me so I don't need to spend on a new tire. Friendly workshop! - Mr K.T. Liew, Redhill

My car aircon was not functioning and I was not sure what the cause was. I initially brought my car to the dealer workshop and was told the compressor is down. But the price quoted for the compressor replacement was so high. I then gave ECV Car Service Singapore a call, and the price turned out to be much lower, and quality of service good. Thumbs up! - Joel Tan, Bukit Batok
