Check Engine Light Back On After a Recent Repair
What the customer reported
The vehicle owner reported the vehicle was showing the same issues it had before the most recent repair, and the check engine light was illuminated again.
What we found and did
During testing, the technician found new issues not related to any previous repairs: a rattle noise from the timing chains and gears, and a leaking oil filter/adapter gasket. The oil filter was also found loose, and the oil change was overdue by 23k+ miles per CarFax. At our Lake Wales shop, the team performed the oil filter housing/adapter service along with a full synthetic oil change to vehicle specs. A timing chain with cam phasers was recommended because of the rattle noise, but that work was not performed on this visit, and further testing may be needed for a complete answer.
