How to Know If Your Diesel Engine Needs Service

Usually, the warning signs that your Mercedes-Benz diesel engine needs service are pretty apparent. However, some warning signs are harder to identify as you drive around Huntington Beach than others are. Here are some warning signs that we recommend you keep an eye out for regarding the condition of your diesel engine: 

• Check Engine Light Is On: If you see your “check engine” light is on, schedule service with Fletcher Jones Van Center immediately as this usually indicates a serious issue with the engine. 

• Decline in Fuel Economy: Issues with your engine’s injector or filters could cause your engine to use more fuel than normal. 

• More Oil Usage than Normal: If your engine is leaking oil or burning oil, then this will cause you to use more oil than you normally would. 

• Strange Noises Coming from the Engine: Unusual noises coming from your engine could indicate issues with the compression system, fuel injectors, or timing system among other things.
