Diesel Maintenance Tips
Maintaining a diesel engine requires some specific attention compared to a petrol (gasoline) engine.
-
Use Diesel Additives
Diesel fuel additives can help improve fuel quality, clean the fuel system, and prevent gelling in cold weather.
-
Inspect the Turbocharger
If your diesel engine is turbocharged, make sure the turbocharger is functioning properly. Check for any unusual noises or performance issues.
-
Check Glow Plugs
Glow plugs are essential for starting a diesel engine, especially in cold weather! Test them regularly and replace any that are faulty for reliable starting.
-
Inspect the Exhaust System
Diesel engines produce more soot and particulates. Regularly inspect the exhaust system for leaks or damage, and ensure the particulate filter (if equipped) is functioning properly.
