The evolution of the automotive industry in Australia has experienced a shift towards diesel engines due to their fuel-efficiency and environmental friendliness. Different types of diesel vehicles now abound the roads, each unique in its offerings and operation. However, not all car owners know about the dynamics of their diesel engines, making regular servicing at Border Mechanical essential. As your trusted local Mechanic in Goondiwindi, Border Mechanical boasts of vast experience in servicing all diesel car makes and models, including commercial fleet vehicles. Let's dive into the diverse diesel vehicle categories, that we service and Australians proudly drive today, then explore some lesser-known facts about diesel engines. Understanding the Varied Diesel Vehicles in Australia: 1. Passenger Cars: The latest passenger cars with diesel engines boast exceptional fuel economy, minimal emissions and impressive longevity. From compact saloons to versatile hatchbacks, these cars are a practical choice for families and individual drivers. 2. 4WDs and SUVs: Diesel 4WDs and SUVs are immensely popular among Australians who seek fuel efficiency and strong towing capacity. 3. Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs): Often used for transportation and logistics purposes, LCVs like vans and small trucks find diesel engines particularly beneficial due to their powerful performance. Here are three lesser-known facts about diesel engines: 1. They're Inherently Efficient: Diesel engines utilise compression ignition, allowing them to run more efficiently and utilise less fuel than their petrol counterparts. 2. Low-RPM Torque: Unlike petrol engines, diesel engines deliver excellent torque at low RPMs, making them perfect for carrying and towing heavy loads and uphill drives. 3. Maintenance is Key: Diesel engines can outlast petrol engines with proper care and regular servicing. 3 things that can go wrong in a Diesel Engine: The first issue can be engine wear and tear which can severely impact your car's performance.  Secondly, unaddressed minor issues may escalate into major ones resulting in costly repairs or replacements. Lastly, neglecting regular servicing can lead to decreased vehicle safety posing risks to the driver and passengers. Regular Servicing  As beneficial as they are, diesel engines require regular professional maintenance for their unique features to perform optimally.

Diesel Vehicles: Why Regular Servicing is Essential

Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Border Mechanical in Goondiwindi know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Border Mechanical in Goondiwindi we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Border Mechanical today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Goondiwindi workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.
