The vehicle came for service with a mileage around 80,000 km. The vehicle was experiencing decreased performance, reduced braking efficiency, rough idling, and decreased fuel efficiency. First, we conducted a thorough inspection using 25-point checklist.
The root cause of decreased performance was identified as the lifespan of the spark plugs. Symptoms of bad spark plugs include misfires, rough idling, engine hesitation, decreased acceleration, and increased fuel consumption. If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to further damage to the engine and other components. When inspecting spark plugs, mechanics look for signs such as the color of the electrode, gap between electrodes, and burn marks. A worn-out spark plug may have a wider gap, irregular electrode wear, or deposits indicating poor combustion.
There are various types of spark plugs available in the market, with the most common being standard copper-core plugs and iridium plugs. Iridium spark plugs have a longer lifespan and provide better performance compared to standard copper-core plugs. While specific recommendations vary depending on the vehicle and manufacturer, a general guideline suggests user should replace their copper spark plugs every 30,000km and 100,000km for iridium spark plugs.
Our expert mechanics performed the necessary maintenance tasks, including engine oil service, brake pad replacement, iridium spark plug replacement, and air filter replacement, ensuring that the vehicle operated optimally and safely.
Regular maintenances are essential for ensuring optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and overall vehicle reliability. By staying proactive with maintenance tasks, car owners can avoid costly repairs and enjoy a smoother driving experience.
