When your engine needs repair
Noise, vibration, loss of power, high oil consumption or a Check Engine light are reasons to diagnose the car before the problem becomes serious.
- Engine runs unevenly or stalls
- Unusual noise, knocking or vibration has appeared
- The vehicle has lost power or fuel consumption increased
- Oil leak, overheating or smoke from the exhaust
We diagnose, repair and replace petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars, SUVs and vans.
Before work begins, we assess the engine, agree the parts and cost, and help source a new or used engine when needed.
What Engine Repair Includes
We offer complete engine overhauls for your vehicle. We handle issues such as replacing pistons, crankshafts, cylinder blocks, gearboxes, or clutches.
Car Engine Replacement
Over the years, engine performance and environmental standards decline, oil leaks start, and the engine may knock or seize.
Such cases require radical measures, such as an engine overhaul or replacement. We have replaced over 50 engines across various car brands and possess extensive experience in this field.
Gearbox Replacement
Passenger car gearbox replacement is our primary specialization. We install both new and used transmissions.
Because of this expertise, replacing a manual or automatic transmission at our auto service is fast, reliable, and high quality, while keeping service and parts prices affordable.
Clutch Replacement
Expert and quick clutch replacement in Tallinn. We will source, purchase, and install a new or used clutch, either completely or in parts.
We perform clutch cable replacement and adjustment, fork replacement, and master or slave cylinder replacement. We work with modern professional equipment using the hands of experienced technicians.
Crankshaft Replacement
The crankshaft is a structural element of the engine that acts as an axis. It transmits torque from the engine to the transmission while enduring heavy loads.
Over time, components of the crankshaft wear out—including bearings and oil seals—leading to an increase in allowable tolerances between specific units. We have been successfully solving these issues for over 13 years.
Oil Pump and Chain Replacement
We can replace both the timing chain and the oil pump itself. In the engine lubrication system, oil is pumped under pressure.
This pressure is provided by the oil pump—a compact and simply designed device without which the engine would not run for even five minutes.
Piston Ring Replacement
The engine itself will indicate when it needs piston ring replacement rather than other repairs. Symptoms of this failure are quite obvious, making them hard to miss.
Blue or black smoke coming from the exhaust pipe indicates that wear has reached a critical stage. Our specialists can replace the piston rings whenever necessary.
Engine Fault Finding / Inspection
Inspection and fault finding involve examining and measuring the specifications of parts subject to repair or replacement. This process identifies specific damaged components and pinpoints why the failure occurred.
Following this inspection, we can locate and replace parts to properly repair your engine.
ABS Module Repair
The anti-lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking during braking to maintain vehicle steerability. It enhances braking efficiency by shortening stopping distances. Sometimes, the system breaks down or malfunctions.
If the ABS warning light on your dashboard illuminates, you need an ABS module repair. Pinna Auto specialists will replace or repair your ABS unit.
Decarbonization
Decarbonization is the removal of carbon deposits from piston grooves so the piston rings regain mobility and the engine stops consuming excessive oil, as well as cleaning carbon from the piston, valves, and combustion chamber walls. There are many methods and products for decarbonization.
Decarbonization can be performed through the oil system, fuel system, or spark plug holes. These methods differ in cleaning efficiency and labor required. The most effective way is to disassemble the engine and wash all components individually.
