If your diesel engine starts to overheat, stop the vehicle immediately and turn off the engine to prevent further damage. Check for visible coolant leaks or a low coolant level in the reservoir. Overheating can be caused by a faulty radiator, water pump or thermostat. Seek professional assistance to diagnose the issue, as continuing to drive could cause significant damage to the engine.

Diesel engines operate by compressing air to generate high temperatures, which ignite the fuel, while petrol engines rely on spark plugs for ignition. Diesel engines are generally more fuel-efficient and offer greater torque, making them ideal for heavy vehicles and towing. However, they require robust maintenance due to higher compression and potential carbon buildup. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right maintenance routine for your vehicle.

Black smoke from a diesel engine usually indicates incomplete combustion. This can be caused by issues such as a clogged air filter, faulty injectors or excessive fuel being delivered to the engine. Over time, this can lead to reduced performance and increased emissions. Addressing the problem early with proper diagnostics can restore engine efficiency and prevent long-term damage.
