Regular Cleaning For The Diesel Intake System

Clogging of the diesel intake system with oil build-up, carbon and soot can result in power loss, poor throttle response, high fuel consumption and smoke. We recommend thorough cleaning of the intake system at around every 50,000km. Doing this will reduce overall maintenance costs, while ensuring peak performance, fuel efficiency and a long life for diesel engines in a truck or car.

Diesel Fuel Injection Services A Speciality

When diesel fuel injectors become worn and blocked over time with contaminants, build-up and residue it decreases a vehicle’s power and how it responds. Today’s sophisticated common rail technology requires perfectly calibrated and clean injectors to avoid major engine damage. We diagnose, service, repair and maintain all common rail diesel injectors and systems, including low pressure and high pressure fuel pumps.
