Diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency of all internal combustion engines which means they tend to be more efficient than petrol engines.

Efficiency aside, there are other factors that make diesel engines different to petrol engines;

Frequently Asked Questions about Diesel Engines in Renmark

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at Renmark Auto Service, your trusted local mechanic in Renmark.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre Renmark Auto Service in Renmark is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at Renmark Auto Service today.

At Renmark Auto Service in  Renmark we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At Renmark Auto Service we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.

Have your car tuned with the latest Mainline Chassis Dyno with Renmark Auto Service!

Dyno tuning is an invaluable tool for assessing the performance and efficiency of a vehicle. By utilising a dynamometer, also known as a dyno, mechanics can measure metrics like engine horsepower, torque, and the air fuel ratio in the engine. 

Moreover, the data generated from dyno tuning allows for the precise and informed adjustment of car components to maximise the car’s power.

Utilising a dynamometer on a vehicle comes with numerous advantages. A dynamometer allows for tuning the car to give it enhanced horsepower and torque. 

It is recommended to conduct dyno tuning prior to any upgrades and performance-related work, in order to ensure maximum power whilst still keeping the efficiency. 

Following modifications, we can measure what has been gained by taking the vehicle back on the dyno.

Dyno tuning functions by calibrating the settings and systems of the vehicle to optimal performance. 

A few of the gains associated with dyno tuning are improved drivability, more peak power, and increased acceleration. Another perk of dyno tuning is the potential for maximising fuel efficiency. 

An engine that is optimised for maximum performance via dyno tuning will be able to deliver better fuel economy.

Here at Renmark Auto Service, we use a Mainline Dynolog Dynamometer with innovative load control, industry-leading data acquisition and creative data analysis concepts not available elsewhere, it is a clear leap forward in dynamometer technology.

Specialising in vehicle tuning, Renmark Auto Service provides ECU remapping services to both recreational and professional users, with an emphasis on 4WD’s, tow vehicles and European and luxury cars for increased power, fuel efficiency, improved towing capabilities or modifications tailored to the customer’s needs.
