A modern car consists of several complex mechanical systems that work together to provide a smooth driving experience. Below, we outline the main systems, their roles, and common symptoms that may indicate the need for inspection or repair.

Key Mechanical Systems in a Car and When to Seek Repairs

The engine is the heart of your vehicle, converting fuel into mechanical energy that drives the car. It consists of several components, including the cylinder block, pistons, camshaft, and crankshaft.

Unusual noises such as knocking or tapping

The transmission system transmits power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the car to change gears smoothly. It includes the gearbox, clutch (manual), or torque converter (automatic).

Grinding or whining noises during gear changes

The braking system is vital for your safety, allowing you to slow down or stop your vehicle effectively. Key components include brake pads, rotors, callipers, and brake fluid.

Squeaking or grinding noises when braking

The suspension system ensures a smooth ride by absorbing shocks and maintaining contact between the tyres and the road. It includes shock absorbers, struts, springs, and control arms.

The steering system allows you to control the direction of your vehicle. It includes the steering wheel, steering column, rack and pinion, and power steering pump.

The cooling system regulates the engine's temperature to prevent overheating. It consists of the radiator, coolant, water pump, thermostat, and cooling fans.

The exhaust system directs harmful gases away from the engine and reduces emissions. It includes the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, muffler, and exhaust pipes.

The fuel system delivers fuel to the engine. It includes the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel injectors, and fuel lines.

The electrical system powers various components in the vehicle, such as lights, the battery, and the alternator.

This system controls the temperature inside your vehicle. It includes the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and blower motor.
