Diesel Servicing & Repairs

Modern diesels are efficient and long-lasting, but they have systems petrol cars don’t. Those systems need the right maintenance, especially if your vehicle does a lot of short trips around town.

Common Diesel Problems We Fix
  • DPF (diesel particulate filter) blockages. The DPF traps soot and burns it off during longer drives. Short trips around Newcastle often don't give it the chance, which leads to warning lights and limp mode.
  • Injector faults. These cause rough running, smoke, poor fuel economy or hard starting.
  • Turbo problems. These cause loss of power, whistling noises or oil smoke.
  • EGR valve build-up. Carbon deposits restrict airflow and reduce performance.
  • Fuel contamination. Water in diesel fuel damages injectors and pumps, which is why fuel filters and water separators matter.
  • AdBlue system faults on newer diesel models.
Warning Signs
Black or white smoke, hard starting, a noticeable drop in power, rough idle, or a DPF or engine warning light. The sooner a diesel fault is diagnosed, the cheaper it usually is to fix.
