Understanding Your Vehicle’s Foreign Engine
The engine is the heart of your car. We hear people say it all the time. But, diesel engines come with specialized needs that not every engine requires. With our specialty in German makes and models, our knowledge of foreign-made diesel engines surpasses everyone around us. Over two decades of foreign diesel engine experience grounds the foundation of our shop, and our ASE-certified technicians stay up-to-date on the latest techniques, technology, and requirements necessary to keep you safe on the road. However, knowing what is right and wrong with a complex system in your vehicle is imperative to its longevity on the road. So, let’s look at the most common problems with foreign diesel engines.
TDI, BlueTec, and TwinPower, Oh My!
The beautiful heart that runs both Volkswagen and Audi vehicles is the Turbocharged Direct Injection engine or TDI. It gives a great boost to the engine but comes with downsides you have to consider. For instance, the most common complaint about these engines is that oil leaks are prevalent. The rubber gaskets that prevent oil from escaping your engine are under a great deal of strain because of this kind of engine, leading to chronic failure. So, if you smell burnt oil, see smoke coming from the engine, or if your engine is overheating, it’s time to have a professional look beneath the hood.
Even the award-winning BlueTEC engine housed in many Mercedes isn’t safe from the issues stated above. One of the most common issues is hesitation upon acceleration. When that happens, it can signal a problem with fuel being delivered to power your engine or even because exhaust gas has started to recirculate through your system. The second you feel that hesitation whenever you depress the gas pedal, drive yourself straight to us at 109 Woodwinds Industrial Court, Cary, NC 27511. An ASE-certified technician should only tackle the complexity of a BlueTEC engine so they can properly determine the issue and get you driving.
The TwinPower Turbo engines have been installed in many BMWs since 2011 to help reduce carbon emissions. The thing most people love about the engine, however, is that it doesn’t sacrifice power to set that standard. The problem is that the engine’s mechanics put much undue strain on the high-pressure fuel pump, so it wears down more quickly over time. If you are randomly experiencing increased fuel consumption, high engine temperatures, or even sputtering while accelerating your vehicle, you could have an issue with your HPFP. That is when it’s time to bring your diesel engine to our auto repair shop for inspection and diagnosis.
