The Diagnosis Is…

Don’t hold your breath or live with uncertainty.   If you’ve got a 'Check Engine' light on your dash, staring at you the natural knee-jerk reaction is to wonder what it means.  You, of course, wonder how much it will cost you to fix.  Then you may think can I fix it myself…if only you knew what it meant!

The Check Engine light on your car is both useful and infuriating at the same time.  You know something is wrong (that’s a good thing, right?), but you don’t know what it is exactly.  The light could be an indication that there is a serious problem like a major engine issue, or it could be something as simple as just tightening your gas cap.

Just get it diagnosed, already!  If you want it done professionally, completely, and accurately trust the mechanics at The German Car Shoppe of Littleton, CO.  Whether your vehicle is German made or not the right choice for automobile diagnosis in the greater Denver area is The German Car Shoppe.  You may make an appointment by calling (303) 798-2287.

What is a Dual Clutch Transmission?

A dual-clutch transmission is an important approach to an automatic transmission.  Think of it as a manual transmission controlled by a computer, but instead of one clutch, it has two.  While one clutch controls the even gears, and the other controls the odd gears.  What’s the purpose?  Dual-clutch transmissions are designed to shift between gears faster and be more fuel-efficiently.

Historically speaking, when automakers first began developing automated manual transmissions for modern drivers, the systems had a single clutch.  These transmissions had individual gears for each ratio, just like a manual transmission.  The shifting process, though, was automated, as with a conventional automatic transmission.

When your German-made or domestic model car needs transmission repair or replacement the best place to trust in the Denver area is The German Car Shoppe of Littleton.  No matter what transmission challenges your vehicle may be experiencing, The German Car Shoppe is the answer.  They are located at 5115 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.  Call (303) 798-2287.

Something to Know about your Diesel-Powered Vehicle.

It’s called the common-rail fuel injection system.  As it pertains to diesel engines, it features a high-pressure fuel rail which feeds the solenoid valves.  This is in opposition to the low-pressure pump feeding unit injectors.  Late model common rail diesels now feature piezoelectric injectors for greater precision. 

High pressure injection delivers power and fuel consumption benefits over earlier lower pressure fuel injection, by injecting fuel as a larger number of smaller droplets, giving a much higher ratio of surface area to volume. This combines atmospheric oxygen with vaporized fuel delivering more complete combustion.

Sounds complicated…doesn’t it?  What is more intricate is keeping your finely tuned German vehicle on the road by having the tools and expertise to repair fuel injection systems.  Here at The German Car Shoppe in Littleton we have just what it takes to keep your car running smoothly on the roads around Denver.  Make an appointment today at (303) 798-2287.
