FAQ
How often should I service my diesel vehicle?
Diesel vehicles typically require servicing every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres, but this can vary depending on usage, vehicle type, and manufacturer guidelines. Vehicles used for towing, heavy loads, off-road work, or commercial purposes may need more frequent servicing to prevent excessive wear. Regular maintenance by a diesel mechanic includes oil and filter changes, fuel system inspections, coolant and exhaust checks, and diagnostic scans. Ignoring service intervals can lead to engine damage, reduced fuel efficiency, and costly breakdowns. Always refer to your owner’s manual or consult a diesel specialist for a maintenance schedule that suits your vehicle and operating conditions.
What are common issues with diesel engines?
Common issues in diesel engines include clogged fuel filters, faulty glow plugs, injector problems, excessive smoke, turbocharger wear, and poor cold-weather starting. Diesel engines can also experience carbon build-up in the intake system, fuel contamination, and EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve faults. Unlike petrol engines, diesel systems operate under high pressure and temperatures, making them prone to unique wear and tear. Early signs of trouble often include decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, rough idling, or warning lights. Addressing these problems promptly with a qualified diesel mechanic helps avoid costly repairs and keeps the vehicle running efficiently and safely.
Can a diesel mechanic service both light and heavy vehicles?
Yes, many diesel mechanics are trained to work on both light and heavy diesel vehicles, including utes, 4WDs, trucks, buses, and machinery. However, not all workshops may have the equipment to handle larger vehicles or specialised equipment. It’s important to confirm that your diesel mechanic is experienced with the type of vehicle you own, especially if it’s commercial, agricultural, or construction-grade. A well-equipped diesel workshop or mobile diesel mechanic can diagnose and repair a wide range of diesel systems, from basic servicing to full engine rebuilds. They can also assist with fleet servicing, roadworthy inspections, and preventative maintenance planning.
