Why does the check engine light come on when I start my D100?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your D100 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my Dodge D100 making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Dodge D100. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Dodge D100 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I put water in my Dodge D100 radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your D100 radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

What can cause a D100 engine to suddenly stop?
