Common Hybrid Car Faults We Address in North London
Hybrid cars, while fuel-efficient, can encounter specific problems. Here are some of the common faults we see in our North London service center:
1. Hybrid Battery Degradation and Failure
Over time, the high-voltage battery in your hybrid car can degrade, leading to reduced fuel efficiency and electric driving range.1 You might notice your engine running more often or the battery not holding a charge as long as it used to.3 In more severe cases, the battery can fail completely. We offer comprehensive battery testing, reconditioning, and replacement services to restore your hybrid’s performance.3
2. 12V Battery Drain
Like traditional cars, hybrids have a 12V battery that powers essential systems. This battery can sometimes drain, especially if the car is not driven regularly or is used for frequent short trips, which is common in North London.5 We can diagnose and replace your 12V battery to ensure your hybrid starts reliably.6
3. Catalytic Converter Theft
Unfortunately, hybrid cars, particularly older models, are often targeted for catalytic converter theft due to the valuable metals they contain.1 This is a concern for car owners across London, including North London. We can advise on and install preventative measures to help protect your vehicle from this type of crime.
4. Engine Light and Related Issues
Even though hybrids have an electric motor, they still rely on a petrol or diesel engine. The “check engine” light can illuminate for various reasons, from minor sensor issues to more significant engine problems.8 Our skilled technicians can diagnose the cause of the engine light and perform the necessary repairs to keep your hybrid running smoothly in North London’s traffic.
5. Decreased Fuel Efficiency
One of the main reasons for choosing a hybrid is its fuel efficiency. If you notice a sudden or gradual decrease in your MPG, it could indicate a problem with the hybrid system, such as battery degradation or issues with the regenerative braking.2 We can assess your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and identify the underlying cause.
6. Regenerative Braking Problems
Hybrid cars use regenerative braking to capture energy during deceleration. If this system malfunctions, you might notice a change in braking feel or a decrease in the amount of energy being recovered.9 Our technicians can inspect and repair your regenerative braking system to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
7. Hybrid System Warning Lights
Various warning lights can appear on your dashboard indicating a problem with the hybrid system. These lights should not be ignored, as they often signal a fault that requires professional attention.1 We have the expertise to diagnose and resolve any hybrid system warning lights you may encounter in North London.
8. Cooling System Issues
The cooling system in a hybrid car is crucial for maintaining the correct operating temperature of both the engine and the high-voltage battery.9 Overheating can lead to significant damage. We offer comprehensive cooling system checks and repairs to ensure your hybrid remains reliable, especially during warmer months in North London.
9. Transmission Problems
Some hybrid vehicles use a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which can sometimes experience issues like slipping or unusual noises.9 Our technicians are experienced in diagnosing and repairing hybrid transmission problems to ensure smooth and efficient driving.
10. Oxygen Sensor and Emissions Issues
Like traditional vehicles, hybrid cars have oxygen sensors that play a vital role in regulating emissions and fuel efficiency.2 A faulty oxygen sensor can trigger the engine light and affect performance. We can diagnose and replace faulty oxygen sensors to keep your hybrid compliant with London’s emission standards.
