The importance of regular diesel engine servicing and the potential risks of neglecting it

Kingsley Auto Care in Kingsley understand the crucial role that proper diesel engine maintenance plays in ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly and dependably. In this article, we'll explore the importance of regular diesel engine servicing and the potential risks of neglecting it.

Before we dive into the specifics of diesel engine maintenance, it's helpful to understand how a diesel engine works.

Unlike petrol engines, which use a spark to ignite the fuel, diesel engines use highly compressed air to achieve combustion. This results in superior fuel efficiency, which is why diesel engines are often used in heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses.

Diesel engines have gained popularity in recent years due to their exceptional fuel efficiency and eco-friendly characteristics. However, even though diesel engines are known for their durability, they still require regular maintenance to perform at their best. In this guide, we'll explain why it's essential for diesel vehicle owners to keep up with regular engine servicing and the serious consequences that can arise from skipping this important task.

Although diesel engines are renowned for their robustness, neglecting regular maintenance can lead to expensive problems. Routine servicing ensures that all engine components are functioning correctly, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns and costly repairs. Moreover, it can improve fuel efficiency, helping diesel vehicle owners save money over time.

Maintain peak efficiency of your diesel engine.

Detect and resolve issues before they become serious.

Reduce the costs of repairs and part replacements.

Prevent unexpected breakdowns and avoid expensive roadside assistance.

Can't recommend these guys enough. Kingsley Auto Care really went above and beyond to help me out. The service was amazing. Will be sticking with them and going back for sure. Caledonia

Very impressed. These Kingsley mechanics cleaned my entire engine bay at no extra cost. What used to be 9 years of filth, 200000 kms of corrugated red gravel road dust caked on now it looks like a brand new car. Kingsley Auto Care provide thorough service for a reasonable price, considerably less than my last service at the dealership! TheJezzalenco

Excellent service! Best Mechanic I have found in Perth, good value for money. Maui is very trustworthy, friendly and honest. He tells you what you need fixed before fixing it, and not just replacing parts for the sake of extra cash. Highly recommended! Kellie 

Garage owner Maui is an exceptionally good mechanic, and by far the best I have experienced in Perth. Always does a thorough inspection to locate potential issues, and - to top it off - cleans the inside of your car and windows. Highly recommended. John

We offer expert advice on all your tyre needs - if you have any questions about tyres for your vehicle please call us today - we'll be happy to discuss your requirements.

We stock a wide range of tyres including Tyremax, Roadstone and Kumho.

We can fit and install new tyres on all makes and models including 4WD tyres and SUV tyres. 

Your tyres are a critical part of your cars overall performance and safety, so it's important to make sure your tyres are in top condition and to replace them where necessary.

There are ways you can look after your tyres to maintain their lifespan helping you save money on replacement tyres:

Check your tyre pressure weekly - always check your tyre pressure when the tyres are cool ( not after a long drive) and adjust it accordingly. Tyres which are under inflated increase the risk of blowouts due to heat stress and can increase your petrol costs, tyres which are over inflated also wear unevenly and have higher safety risks, and so, it's important to make sure your tyres are at the recommended pressure. To find out the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle - check the tyre placard located in your glove box or on the driver's door pillar.

Keep an eye on the way your tyres are wearing. Not only to check when they need replacing, but also to make sure there are no balance or alignment issues. When you are checking the pressure have a look at the tread on each of your tyres- if it appears to be wearing down unevenly, one tyre more than others or more on one edge - your wheels might need aligning or you could have suspension issues. Mis-aligned wheels will shorten the life of your tyres and can cause problems with handling and reduce the safety of your vehicle. If you notice un-even wear on your tyre tread you should always have an expert diagnose the issue to ensure maximum safety in your vehicle.

If you need new tyres or just want someone to check them for you, see the team at Kingsley Auto Care!
