Some of the Most Common Diesel Issues We Rectify
Both diesel car servicing and MOTs are more or less the same across the board as their petrol engine equivalents. However, there are unique problems diesel engines can experience which make it well-worth visiting specialists for car repairs, such as the highly experienced mechanics at East Grinstead Vehicle Care Ltd. One prevalent concern is diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogging, restricting exhaust flow and leading to performance issues. We address this through thorough cleaning or replacement, in the most serious cases. Turbocharger problems are also not uncommon, manifesting as reduced power and increased exhaust smoke. We specialise in diagnostics and car repairs for turbocharger issues to ensure optimal engine performance.
Fuel system problems, such as injector issues or contaminated fuel, are routine challenges tackled at our East Grinstead garage. Keeping on top of car servicing, MOTs, and investing in regular maintenance as and when required, including fuel system cleaning, helps mitigate these issues. Glow plug failures, affecting cold starts, are another common problem, especially in colder climates. Our expertise extends to diagnosing and replacing faulty glow plugs promptly. Additionally, we often address EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve malfunctions, affecting emissions and engine efficiency.
Timing belt failures pose a significant risk in diesel engines, and East Grinstead Vehicle Care Ltd encourages timely replacements to prevent catastrophic engine damage. Our commitment to diesel vehicle diagnostics and car repairs in East Grinstead includes addressing all the aforementioned issues and many more promptly and efficiently, ensuring our customers' vehicles run smoothly and reliably.
