⚙️ Subaru Forester – Transmission Warning Lights & Faulty Solenoids

This Subaru Forester came in displaying multiple warning lights on the dash, including the traction control, check engine, and transmission warning indicators.

After thorough diagnostics, the issue was traced to a failing transmission solenoid within the CVT unit. These solenoids control the flow of hydraulic pressure in the transmission — when they start to fail, it can trigger a range of fault codes and cause harsh shifting or limp mode.

Replacing the affected solenoids and resetting the system restored smooth operation and cleared all warning lights.

🚘 Common symptoms of solenoid failure include:

Warning lights for transmission or traction control

Shuddering or slipping under load

Delayed or harsh gear changes

CVT going into limp mode

If you’re seeing warning lights or noticing transmission issues in your Subaru, it’s best to have it checked early — ignoring the signs can lead to bigger (and more expensive) problems later.

🚙 Range Rover Sport – Rear Window Fault Diagnosis & Repair

This Range Rover Sport (L494) came in with the rear window stuck down, leaving the owner unable to close it.

After carrying out diagnostic testing, we traced the issue back to a faulty rear door module — caused by water ingress and corrosion inside the unit.

The door module was replaced, restoring full window and central locking functionality.

💧 Water intrusion is a common issue in modern vehicles with electronic door modules. Even minor moisture can cause corrosion and intermittent faults over time.

If your Range Rover or any other vehicle is showing electrical issues such as:

Windows not responding

Doors not locking or unlocking

Warning lights appearing intermittently

…it’s best to have it checked early before further damage occurs.

For professional diagnostics and repairs, contact Jacksons Auto Repairs — we handle everything from electrical faults to full system programming.

🛠️ Ford Everest & Ranger 2.0L Diesel – Timing Belt Service Advisory

The 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel engine in Ford Everest and Ranger models uses a “wet” timing belt system that runs inside the engine oil.
Over time, the belt material can degrade and shed debris, which can block the oil pickup and cause severe engine oil starvation or failure.

We recommends replacing this belt every 150,000 km or 6 years — whichever comes first. Vehicles used for towing, off-road driving, or short trips may require earlier replacement due to increased wear.

Preventative replacement ensures:
✅ Continuous oil flow and lubrication
✅ Avoidance of catastrophic engine damage
✅ Long-term reliability of your 2.0L Bi-Turbo engine

Contact Jacksons Auto Repairs to schedule your timing belt inspection or replacement today.

Don't let a leaking water pump destroy your engine.

This VW golf came in as a new customer for a coolant leak.

As you can see from the photo it had been leaking for a while, this highlights why routine servicing is an important part of your vehicle maintenance.
