A diagnostic fault code identifies a problem the vehicle’s system has detected, but it does not always identify the exact component that has failed. For example, two cars may show the same boost pressure fault, yet one could have a leaking boost hose while the other has a faulty boost control solenoid or a turbocharger problem. The code may be the same, but the underlying causes are different. That is why proper diagnosis involves live data, physical inspections, wiring checks and testing before replacing any parts. A scan tool helps identify where to investigate; proper diagnosis determines what actually needs repair. Dial us today for proper diagnosis and repair via 0708455455 or 0712455455

Excessively clean engine oil during an oil change can be a red flag, something many mechanics overlook.
A good oil change isn't just about draining the old oil and replacing it. The condition of the drained oil can tell you a lot about the quality of oil you've been using and the health of your engine.
For oil service, visit @PrecisionAutoKE along Muringa Road, Kilimani.

Air conditioning service has evolved beyond simply adding refrigerant and hoping for the best. Modern AC refill systems allow for more precise refrigerant charging, improved servicing efficiency, and better control over the process.
At Precision Automotive, we believe in embracing technology that improves service quality and helps us deliver reliable results. Proper AC servicing involves checking refrigerant levels, inspecting for leaks, and ensuring the system operates within the manufacturer’s specifications. Dial 0708455455 for any of your car air conditioning needs.
Have you noticed excessive vibration inside your car, a clunk when shifting from Park to Drive, or the engine moving more than usual? Worn engine mounts could be the cause. Engine mounts secure the engine to the vehicle’s chassis while absorbing vibrations produced during operation. When they deteriorate, you may experience increased cabin vibration, knocking sounds during acceleration or gear changes, and excessive engine movement. The problem goes beyond comfort. Depending on the vehicle, damaged mounts can put additional stress on exhaust connections, hoses, wiring, and other drivetrain components. Ignoring the symptoms may lead to more expensive repairs.
The important thing is to diagnose the problem correctly. Not every vibration or clunk is caused by engine mounts, so a proper inspection is necessary before replacing any components.

An underwash removes mud, dirt and contaminants that trap moisture underneath your car, while Gravitex provides a protective coating against rust, moisture and stone chips on properly prepared surfaces. Skipping this maintenance can allow corrosion to develop, eventually damaging the chassis, brake lines and suspension mounting points, leading to costly repairs. Prevention is always better than waiting for rust to become a serious problem. At Precision Automotive, we advise on the need to protect your vehicle from underneath. Your car is an investment and an investment that needs at most care. Visit us today for rust treatments and repairs or dial 0708455455.

Saturday came with a beautiful surprise! A fan walked in with a drawing of @Brianclkd and me, inspired by a recent podcast we did together, where he had spotted us. Honestly, moments like these remind you that sometimes, what you do leaves a bigger impression on someone than you may ever realise. In appreciation of his talent and thoughtfulness, we made sure he got to enjoy an afternoon at the BMW meet-up in Karen. A simple way of appreciating someone who took the time to create something meaningful for us.
Personally, being an art lover, I have a soft spot for creativity. Art is more than just putting pencil to paper; it is about the time, imagination, skill and passion someone invests in bringing an idea to life. One thing I believe in is that we should learn to appreciate people’s talents while they are still growing and sharing them with the world. Whether someone draws, sings, creates content, takes photographs or builds something with their hands, a little appreciation can go a long way. You never know how much encouragement someone needs to keep going. Sometimes, simply recognising their effort is enough to inspire them to do even more.
To our fan, thank you for the thoughtful gift. You reminded us that the connection between people goes beyond a podcast or a screen. And from one art lover to a creative mind, keep creating!
Let’s normalise appreciating talent, supporting creativity and giving people their flowers while they can still smell them.
Timing Belt vs Timing Chain, Which One Is Better? Both perform the same job of synchronising the engine’s crankshaft and camshaft, but they differ in construction and maintenance. A timing belt is made of reinforced rubber and usually requires replacement at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals, while a timing chain is made of metal and generally lasts longer. However, chains can stretch, wear and develop tensioner or guide problems over time. Warning signs may include unusual rattling, starting difficulties or engine performance issues, although some faults show no obvious symptoms. If either fails, the engine can suffer serious damage, depending on its design. The bottom line? Neither is automatically better; proper maintenance and following your engine’s specific service requirements are what matter most.
We are skimming these brake discs, but why? Brake skimming restores a smooth braking surface, helping reduce vibrations and promote even brake pad contact. However, not every disc can be skimmed! If it’s cracked, severely damaged, or below the manufacturer’s minimum thickness, replacement is the safer option. The goal? Better braking performance, safer driving, and avoiding unnecessary replacement costs.Would you skim or replace your brake discs? Let’s hear your thoughts!
Leaking Radiator with Pressure Build Up that leads to Rising Engine Temperature! A leaking radiator can cause coolant loss, making it difficult for the engine to regulate its temperature. When pressure builds up excessively in the cooling system, it may indicate a faulty radiator cap, a thermostat issue, or even a blown head gasket. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to severe engine damage. If your temperature gauge starts rising, stop safely, switch off the engine, and let it cool. Never open the radiator cap while the engine is hot.
Remember: Early diagnosis can save you from costly engine repairs. Prevention is always cheaper than a rebuild!
Here is when to know the steering pump starts failing! A faulty power steering pump can cause stiff steering, whining noises, fluid leaks, and difficulty turning, especially at low speeds. Ignoring these signs can compromise steering assistance and affect your control of the vehicle.
Our advice is to have your steering system inspected early. Remember, stiff steering can also result from low fluid levels, leaks, or a faulty steering rack. Don’t wait until a small problem becomes an expensive repair! Our location is Magadi rd Karen or dial a booking via 0708455455.

The Mitsubishi 4M40 is a 2.8 litre, four-cylinder turbo diesel engine known for its solid pulling power, mechanical simplicity on many versions, and suitability for demanding driving conditions. Found in vehicles such as the Mitsubishi Pajero, it has earned a reputation among enthusiasts who value torque for off road driving, a relatively straightforward fuel injection system, and an engine that can serve reliably when properly maintained. Its low speed pulling ability makes it useful on steep climbs, rough terrain, and when carrying heavy loads. However, like any diesel engine, it needs proper cooling system maintenance, clean fuel, regular servicing, and attention to its cylinder head to avoid costly problems, especially overheating. The 4M40 isn’t just about power rather it’s about having an engine built for practical work and adventure when looked after properly.
Would you trust the 4M40 for your next off road adventure, or would you choose another diesel engine? Drop your other engine suggestions. For all engine imports: 0701455455.
Predictive maintenance is when a car can warn you before something fails. Especially in these new age cars. Predictive maintenance uses operating data, sensor readings and changes in performance to help identify possible problems before they develop into a breakdown. Depending on the vehicle and system, this may involve monitoring battery condition, temperatures, fluid performance or other operating parameters. It can help identify trends that would otherwise go unnoticed, but it is not a guarantee that every failure will be predicted. Some components can fail unexpectedly, and not all vehicles have advanced predictive features. Regular inspections and proper maintenance remain important even when a vehicle provides health monitoring information.
The bright orange conduit under the hood protects the high-voltage (HV) cables carrying 200V+ between the hybrid battery, inverter, and electric motor. Why it fails? Heat cycling, engine vibration, road debris/chemicals, and friction against mounting brackets wear down the insulation over time. Why replacement is necessary? Damaged wiring creates severe electric shock hazards, risks frying expensive hybrid electronics, triggers fault codes that shut down the electric drive system, and compromises safety.
There’s always a special kind of excitement when unboxing a brand new engine. You already know that once it’s fitted and properly calibrated, the client is about to experience a whole new feel behind the wheel. Better performance, smoother running, and a drive that reminds you why you fell in love with that car in the first place. We’re not just replacing engines; we’re giving these machines a fresh start and getting them ready to hit the road with renewed life. New engine, new energy, new driving experience. Stay tuned as we bring this machine back to life. Import with us via 0701455455.

Why modern gearboxes can behave differently when cold.Some automatic and dual clutch transmissions behave differently when cold because fluid viscosity, hydraulic pressure and clutch control strategies change with temperature. A slight difference in shift behaviour may be normal for a particular model, but harsh engagement, slipping, delayed selection or repeated warning messages should not be ignored. The technician needs to consider the gearbox design, fluid specification, temperature, fault codes and service history before reaching a conclusion. Simply changing the fluid or condemning the gearbox without proper assessment may not solve the problem. What matters is understanding why the behaviour is occurring.
Why repeated short trips can affect modern diesel vehicles. Many modern diesel vehicles use a diesel particulate filter to capture soot from the exhaust. Under suitable conditions, the vehicle performs regeneration, a process that raises exhaust temperatures to burn off accumulated soot. Repeated short journeys may prevent some vehicles from completing regeneration consistently, depending on driving conditions and the manufacturer’s strategy. Over time, this can contribute to filter restriction or warning messages. If a warning appears repeatedly, the underlying cause should be investigated rather than forcing regeneration without checking the system. Sensors, engine performance and the condition of the filter all matter. For all your diesel engine repairs visit us along Magadi rd or dial a booking via 0708455455.
