Diesel Diagnostic Centre

Delphi Diagnostics

Our Southampton car & van diesel diagnostic centre is equipped with the latest specialist Bosch & Delphi electronic diagnostic equipment to help efficiently trace causes of diesel engine problems.

This equipment is also compatible with Siemens Continental systems commonly found on Peugeot & Citroen diesel engines and more recently on Ford engines including the 1.8 tdci.

Common problems brought to us include:

Engine starting problems
Excessive exhaust smoke
Fuel leaks
Engine cutting out
Engine management faults
 

Fuel System Diagnostics - Common rail diesel fuel systems (hdi, dci, tdci, cdi, etc.) on modern vehicles operate with very high system pressures (often in excess of 1600 bar / 23,000 psi). Although the systems are very reliable, when faults do occur they are often as a result of loss of pressure due to internal leaks or wear causing excessive fuel back leakage in system components.

To diagnose such faults we have equipment that allows measurement of pressures in both high & low pressure systems as well as fuel back leakage measurements from injectors & the high pressure pump. These tests are carried out on the engine saving time & expense. Should results be inconclusive we have facilities for in depth testing of common rail injectors and high pressure pumps off engine against manufacturers’ test specifications.

Engine Checks - Of course engine problems are not always caused by faulty electronics or fuel systems and we also have facilities for traditional engine condition checks such as compression testing & cylinder leakage checks.

One Stop Diagnostics & Repairs - In addition to diagnostics, we have a fully equipped garage for removal & refit of any faulty components and for repairing mechanical & electrical faults. This means that we can both diagnose & repair most diesel engine related problems on site.

We follow manufacturers’ structured diagnostic routes that aim to trace the faults in the most efficient and cost effective way.
