Your car communicates with you — and not just with warning lights.
Watch out for these serious signs:
- Unusual noises – Grinding, knocking, or whining sounds
- Fluid leaks – Oil, coolant, or brake fluid under your car
- Smoke from bonnet – Overheating or electrical issues
- Brake issues – Soft pedals, delayed braking
- Burning smell – Could mean worn-out clutch or wiring problems
These warning signs may seem minor, but they can point to major underlying issues. Ignoring a small leak or sound today could lead to a full engine breakdown tomorrow.
In Malaysia’s climate, overheating is a common issue — especially during traffic jams. If you see steam from your bonnet, stop driving immediately and let the engine cool.
Brake problems, on the other hand, are extremely dangerous. If your pedal feels soft or you notice delayed stopping, get to a workshop right away. Safety should never be compromised.
Unusual smells like burnt rubber or plastic could signal issues with your wiring, clutch system, or engine oil leak. Don’t take chances — act fast.
The earlier you detect problems, the cheaper and easier the repair will be. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
