Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Common Signs Your Diesel Engine Needs Repair?
Diesel engines can exhibit various signs when in need of repair. Look for unusual noises, such as knocking or rattling, which may indicate problems with the internal components. Excessive smoke from the exhaust, particularly blue or white smoke, suggests possible fuel issues or oil contamination. Decreased fuel efficiency and a lack of power during acceleration are additional indicators of potential engine problems. If your diesel engine is difficult to start, especially in cold months, this may point to battery or glow plug issues. Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive Berthoud provides thorough diagnostics to address these concerns efficiently.
How Often Should You Service Your Diesel Engine?
Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the lifespan of your diesel engine. Generally, a diesel engine should be serviced every 3,000 to 6,000 miles, but this can vary based on your vehicle's make, model, and driving conditions. Routine services involve oil and filter changes, fuel system checks, and inspections of belts and hoses.
