Diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency of all internal combustion engines which means they tend to be more efficient than petrol engines.

Efficiency aside, there are other factors that make diesel engines different to petrol engines;

How often should a diesel engine be serviced?

Because diesel engines suffer from carbon build up which can cause damage to the engine - it's important to stick to a regular service schedule, so any problems can be identified early. Neglecting to do so can lead to very expensive repairs.

Diesel vehicles have a different type of plug called a Glow Plug….What's a glow plug?

In a diesel engine a glow plug heats the cold fuel ready to be ignited under pressure, diesel engines don't use a spark to ignite like petrol engines. Read more about Glow Plugs and the Diesel Ignition system here

What oil should I use in my diesel - do I need special diesel oil?

Yes. Oils that are created for use in diesel engines are different to oils for petrol engines, they have extra additives to help clean the engine and more. Read More about Diesel Oils and Additives here

While certain models can be initially more expensive than a petrol vehicle and cost slightly more for quality servicing, in the long-term, diesel vehicles usually use up to 30% less fuel and have a longer engine life as well as lower CO2 emissions and greater towing abilities.

Do European and Luxury cars need specialised service?

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is a computerised system that manages the air/fuel mixture before it reaches the engine. 

Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Pakenham) are specialists in Electronic Fuel Injection Services.

The introduction of electronic fuel injection significantly improved engine performance and efficiency, while reducing emissions and making easier starting at low temperatures by providing precise control over the amount of fuel injected into each cylinder.

EFI Service includes testing and repairing the various components of the system as well as cleaning throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump, and fuel injectors. 

An important component is the Engine Control Unit (ECU), which regulates the fuel injection process based on information provided by sensors. An EFI service may be required if there are problems with sensors or their connections to ECU.

For more information on EFI services contact us now! or visit our Pakenham automotive workshop.
