We specialize in addressing a wide range of diesel engine issues, and while we can tackle any job with precision, our expertise shines in three key areas: aftertreatment systems, coolant systems, and air systems. Discover how we can keep your fleet running smoothly and efficiently.
What Are The Main Causes of Aftertreatment System Failure?
Aftertreatment systems are crucial for emissions control in diesel engines. Understanding the main causes of their failure is essential for proactive maintenance:
Excessive Soot Accumulation: One common culprit is excessive soot buildup in the diesel particulate filter (DPF). This can clog the filter, leading to reduced engine performance and increased emissions.
Fluid Contamination: Contaminated diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) can harm the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, causing it to malfunction. Regular DEF quality checks are vital.
Temperature Extremes: Extreme temperatures can damage the aftertreatment components. Insulation and heat shields are essential to protect these sensitive parts.
How Do I Know if My Coolant System is Damaged?
Signs of a damaged coolant system include:
- Engine overheating
- Low coolant levels in the reservoir or radiator
- Visible coolant leaks (bright-colored puddles under your vehicle)
- Erratic temperature gauge readings
- White smoke from the exhaust
- A sweet odor around your vehicle
- Corrosion or rust on system components
- High-pressure releases when opening the radiator cap
- Poor heater performance
- Frequent coolant flushes
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's crucial to have your coolant system inspected promptly by our experts at Premier Fleet Services to prevent costly engine damage.
