From the first day you drive your new diesel vehicle out the dealership , little do you know the emission controls are slowly clogging up your engines air intake , layer by layer of carbon build up is produced every time you drive restricting air flow & eventually completely blocking up over time .

AIR & FUEL = ENGINE POWER 🔥
If you RESTRICT a diesel engine from AIR this is the results below 👇 👇 👉 A good example why you should fit an oil catch can to your diesel engine …

🚐 2012 TOYOTA HIACE 3.0LTR TURBO DIESEL ( 1KD -FTZ ) with 210,000kms on the clock with no oil catch can fitted .

➡️ Booked in to diagnose
- Engine check light on
- engine loss of power
- Poor acceleration
- Poor fuel economy ( 400kms to a tank of fuel )
- Rough idle
- Black smoke from exhaust
- Turbo charger boost issues

This is the last stage you don’t want to let your diesel engine get to which is a called a MANUAL INTAKE CLEAN followed by WALNUT VALVE BLASTING . This is where everything on the intake side has to be removed manually to be cleaned piece by piece due to heavy carbon build up . This stage is a very costly & a time consuming repair with labour times from 6-18 hours depending on vehicle make & model ..

WHY does this happen ??
There are 2 main emission controls fitted to diesel engines EGR VALVE (exhaust gas recirculation ) & PCV ( positive crank case pressure ) . The main cause of carbon build up is when oil from the PVC mixes with exhaust gasses in your intake that produces heavy sticky carbon deposits layer by layer each time you drive your vehicle. Some vehicles can bring on the engine check light lowest as 60,000kms if an oil catch can is not fitted due to the emission control system .

👇 HOW TO PREVENT 👇
➡️ Installing a quality Oil catch can kit that prevents oil recirculating back into turbo chargers , intercoolers & inlet manifolds
➡️ On-car chemical intake clean ( coming soon )
➡️ Regular servicing with quality oils & additives

CATCH CAN BENEFITS
✅ Maintain engine performance & fuel efficiency
✅ Protect your engine & turbocharger from potential damage 💸
✅ Extend engine life

🔧 🔧 NEW CAR SERVICING 🔧 🔧

The most frequent question I get asked .. hey Rob , do you do new car servicing ??

Answer is Yes! I service all types of cars , 4WD’S , Utes , Vans & small trucks whilst the vehicle is within the manufacturer warranty period.

➡️ Requirements to Carry out new vehicle servicing are
✅ Log book stamped
✅ Qualified & licensed repairer
✅ Quality oils
✅ Quality parts

EXTENDED WARRANTY
Some manufacturers may offer extended or conditional warranties that may require servicing at a dealership. If these terms apply, servicing outside the dealership could void only the extended warranty, but importantly it will not affect the standard manufacturer warranty. It is crucial to read your specific extended warranty document carefully.
