Engine & Transmission Inspection Before Buying in Dubai
The engine and transmission are the most expensive parts of a used car, and a fault in either usually wipes out any saving you negotiated.
Engine inspection
We inspect the engine cold and running, listen for abnormal noises, and audit the wiring harness and engine mounts.
- Leaks: oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid.
- Signs the engine was opened or previously repaired.
- Engine wiring harness, insulation and connectors.
- Drive belt, engine mounts and cooling system.
Transmission inspection
We test gearbox behaviour through the shift range and read its stored faults on the scanner.
- Shift smoothness, delay and vibration.
- Transmission fluid condition and any leaks.
- Transmission control unit fault codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you open the engine during the inspection?
