Diesel engine servicing requires distinct technical approaches, compared to those used for petrol engines. For starters, diesel engines require a different type of oil – a thicker, heavier-duty oil to handle the additional pressure and temperatures.

Technical Aspects of Diesel Engine Servicing:

The servicing also includes replacing air filters, cleaning the intake manifold and injectors, as well as examining the diesel particulate filter, an essential component unique to diesel engines that reduces soot emissions. Regular fuel filter replacements are critical in a diesel engine, ensuring no water infiltrates the engine, leading to potentially serious damage.

To further emphasise the distinct servicing required for diesel vehicles, let's delve into the primary differences between diesel and petrol engines:

Differences Between Diesel and Petrol Engines:

1. Ignition: In a petrol engine, the spark plugs ignite the fuel-air mix. Conversely, diesel engines employ the principle of compression ignition, where air heated by compression causes fuel ignition.

2. Fuel Efficiency: Diesel engines typically boast greater fuel efficiency, courtesy of their lean burn set up that offers higher torque to the driveshaft.

3. Power: Petrol engines usually generate more horsepower, aiding in swifter acceleration. Meanwhile, diesel engines excel in providing high torque, facilitating better pulling power.

Awareness is a vehicle owner's best tool, and understanding the differences between 4x4 service and regular car service is essential. To aid this understanding and guarantee the highest standards of care for your diesel vehicle, trust Smithfield Car Diagnostics – your specialist automotive partner in Smithfield,  Cairns.

Smithfield Car Diagnostics are fully trained and authorised to undertake all aspects of car air conditioner service.

Mainly we will refuse to "just add gas" because in most cases it is actually against the law.

You should never allow an unqualified or inexperienced person to service your car air conditioner.

That is just so wrong on so many levels.

We will completely remove all of the old gas, test for leaks and refill the gas in accordance with the correct procedure, including using the correct gas for your HVAC system.

Todays vehicles are very complex and just like the engine a car air conditioner has elements that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Smithfield Car Diagnostics in Smithfield,  Cairns today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Smithfield Car Diagnostics in Smithfield,  Cairns we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced every 12 months means you may avoid costly breakdowns now and in the future, and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system saves you money because it reduces the amount of fuel you use.

Smithfield Car Diagnostics care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU06380) to conduct automotive air conditioning service reliably and responsibly. ARC Approved Car Air Conditioning Servicing reduces Fuel Costs and protects your health.
