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

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Topaz testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why is my Mercury Topaz making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mercury Topaz. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
