Why does my EuroVan’s check engine light come on when I start it?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your EuroVan firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Volkswagen EuroVan making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Volkswagen EuroVan engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Volkswagen EuroVan engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still 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 add water to my Volkswagen EuroVan radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your EuroVan radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What can cause a EuroVan engine to suddenly stop?

Your EuroVan car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
