At Rush Automotive, we’re no stranger to diesel-powered vehicles and how they operate. We have many years in the book on servicing and repairing diesel engines, so much so that we are the go-to auto shop in the greater Bastrop, Texas, area for diesel repair! Trucks and vans are often thought of most when you hear “diesel vehicles,” but select cars and SUVs also offer a diesel-engine alternative. Diesel power is often reserved for heavier vehicles due to its purpose: providing more oomph! A diesel engine is known to produce more torque, which transfers to a higher towing and hauling capacity. Not to mention, they are also more efficient. How so? In a diesel engine, the air is compressed first, and then fuel is injected. This equates to a higher compression ratio, which renders a better fuel economy rating. Whereas in a gasoline engine, fuel is mixed with air first, then compressed. For further information regarding diesel engines, cars, or anything in between, reach out to our team!
What Are Common Problems with Diesel Engines?
If you drive a car regularly, you are familiar with how it rides. Any sudden change in that dynamic shouldn’t be ignored. For example, a diesel-powered vehicle can present signs of trouble via a drop in fuel economy, strange sounds, loss of engine power, increased oil consumption, or trouble starting. Each one of these symptoms has a cause, and troubleshooting that cause is how we can help you. If you’re having issues with starting, this is a sign of low compression, which can happen if a component has worn in the unit (it is completely normal for certain parts to wear over time and require replacement). However, it could also be a problem with the piston, cylinder, or valves. A drop in fuel economy is often indicative of worn injectors or rings, or sometimes even a fuel leak in the chamber. A leak like this is also accompanied by black smoke from the exhaust. Oil leaks, EGR valve malfunction, worn rod bearings, damaged liner seals, DPF (diesel particulate filter) clogs, and turbine failure are just a few more examples of problems that warrant diesel repair.
