CUSTOMER GUIDANCE NOTES ON RAC VEHICLE INSPECTIONS
If a warning light indicates a system malfunction the engineer will recommend that the problem is
investigated by a specialist repairer with the necessary equipment to determine any underlying fault.
Exhaust Emissions, and in particular catalyst function, can only be accurately assessed by utilising a gas
analyzer in controlled static conditions as calibrated test equipment is adversely affected by
movement. Consequently, RAC does not conduct emissions testing and recommends specialist
independent emissions testing.
A Cooling System pressure test will be recommended if low antifreeze content is identified as any
dilution may indicate a water top-up following loss of fluid.
If there is no documented evidence that an engine timing belt has been renewed at the specified
service interval period then a replacement is strongly recommended.
Air Conditioning System functions are checked with the aid of a thermometer and if inadequate
operation is identified the engineer will recommend specialist services to investigate and rectify any
potential defect.
Owing to self-levelling Suspension systems being automatically activated by increased pay-load the
facility for checking such functionality is not available within the scope of this inspection.
Manual selection and permanent four wheel drive systems are checked as far as possible given the
facilities at the inspection venue. However, this cannot include traction and differential lock functions
on public or other roads that are constructed using tarmac, concrete or any other homogenous non-slip
surface.
Where an alarm is fitted, and the arming device is provided, the system will be tested. However, owing
to many variations in alarm feature and operating modes it cannot be confirmed whether it is
functioning fully to the manufacturers design specification.
The majority of vehicles fitted with either a turbocharger or supercharger do not have instrument
gauges that indicate whether the equipment is producing induction boost. The engineer is therefore
unable to confirm that the system is working to specification other than by expressing an opinion based
on vehicle road performance.
If the engineer has indicated that a cold start could not be performed, potential starting problems
could exist that it was not possible to detect. A recheck under cold start conditions is therefore
recommended prior to purchase.
The engineer is unable to undertake a compression test on the engine as dismantling would be
required. However, if a power imbalance exists due to unequal cylinder performance an opinion may
be provided to guide and assist further investigation.
Air bags are passive restraints triggered by deceleration and impact sensors, and their function in a
simulated collision cannot therefore be tested. Unless a visual indication of deployment is evident the
status of restraint systems cannot be assessed.
Testing for body water leaks requires facilities not included within the scope of this inspection.
However, if stains or damp are evident these will be commented upon for further investigation.
