Diesel Repairs and Servicing

Diesel engines, with their robust performance and fuel efficiency, have long been the choice for drivers looking for durability and long-haul reliability. However, owning a diesel-powered vehicle comes with its set of maintenance needs, which significantly differ from their petrol counterparts.

For residents in and around Keysborough and surrounds looking for expert care for their diesel vehicles, Sri Luck Autos stands out as the go-to mechanic, offering specialised services that cater specifically to the unique needs of diesel engines.

The Distinct Needs of Diesel Engines

Diesel engines operate on a different principle compared to petrol engines, which fundamentally changes their servicing requirements. Here are a few critical aspects where diesel car servicing diverges from regular petrol vehicle maintenance:

Fuel Filter Replacements: Diesel fuel is denser and oilier than petrol, and as such, diesel engines require more frequent fuel filter changes to prevent contaminants from affecting the fuel injectors. Neglecting this aspect can lead to decreased engine performance and increased fuel consumption.

Air Filters: Due to the higher compression ratios in diesel engines, they require a significant amount of air. This makes clean air filters crucial to their operation. During servicing, checking and replacing the air filters when necessary is more critical in diesel engines than in petrol ones.

Engine Oil: Diesel engines produce more soot and contaminants which end up in the engine oil. Thus, diesel vehicles often require more frequent oil changes to ensure that the engine remains clean and operates smoothly. Furthermore, diesel-specific oil is formulated to handle the unique demands of a diesel engine, making the choice of oil another crucial aspect of diesel vehicle maintenance.

Glow Plugs Instead of Spark Plugs: Diesel engines use glow plugs for ignition instead of spark plugs. Over time, these glow plugs can wear out and will require replacement to ensure the engine starts quickly and runs efficiently. Regular checks are essential, especially in colder weather when glow plugs become critical for engine startup.
