Engine Health Check — MEL A2

Comprehensive engine diagnostic scans in Wellington Selected. OBD-II fault code reading, live data capture, and a clear action report tailored for New Zealand vehicles.

What the MEL A2 engine health check covers

Our MEL A2 protocol focuses on engine systems that most affect drivability, emissions and long-term reliability for cars in Wellington Selected and across New Zealand:

  • OBD-II fault code read & interpretation (stored/pending/continuous)
  • Live data scan: fuel trims, ignition timing, sensor voltages
  • Compression & misfire analysis via live diagnostics
  • Emissions-related components and readiness checks
  • Battery/charging system quick test and starter load checks

After the scan you receive a plain-English report with recommended next steps and estimated effort/cost ranges.
