If there is something that is very scary in a car, it is unexpected breakdowns. And even more so those that involve an expensive and difficult repair. The good news is that they are easy to avoid with a series of tips. First of all, failure in the heart of the vehicle is one of the worst nightmares. Commonly known as ‘engine seizure’, this failure occurs when some of the metal surfaces or parts of the engine become blocked or even fused together due to excessive overheating caused by friction. If this occurs, it may cause a fatal damage to our vehicle. Thus, at Midas they are committed to preventive maintenance and recommend monitoring the temperature indicator, as well as checking the oil and coolant levels to change them when appropriate.
timing belt It is one of the worst breakdowns that can happen to our vehicle, since it is not only that the belt has broken, but it affects other elements of the engine, so we are talking about a quite serious problem. The problem with the timing belt is that you cannot know exactly when it will break. For this reason, Midas recommends changing the timing belt based on what the manufacturer recommends for each model and engine, according to the kilometers or times indicated.

A breakdown in the gearbox is even the turning point to consider changing your car when you know the high cost of its repair. It is a delicate element of the vehicle’s transmission, so replacing or changing this component is not economical at all. ‘Scratching’ (an uncomfortable sound produced by a sudden gear change), not fully disengaging the clutch, using non-recommended oil or not replacing it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations are the main causes of this failure.
The head gasket is also an essential element for the proper functioning of an engine, as it is responsible for ensuring that the cylinders have compression. If this component does not perform its function well, it is most likely that a failure will occur in the head gasket due to overheating. Replacing this part is a complex and expensive task because it requires a large intervention in the engine, so it will have to be carried out by trained technicians.
Finally, a failure in the engine control module can scare even the bravest driver because we are talking about one of the most important systems of the vehicle, since its correct operation depends on it. It is difficult to determine why the control unit breaks down, since there are many indicators that can warn of a failure, but the scare can be enormous if it has to be replaced instead of repaired because it is a very expensive repair.
