What Is Diesel Engine Diagnostics?
Diesel engine diagnostics is the process of assessing the health and performance of a diesel engine using advanced diagnostic tools and computer software.
It involves reading data from the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU) to detect faults, inefficiencies, or irregularities in systems like fuel injection, emissions, and turbocharging.
By carefully analysing this information, technicians can spot hidden issues early. Regular diagnostics help to maintain peak engine performance, lower emissions, prevent breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of your vehicle.

At Gee Diesel Services Ltd, we offer a full range of diesel diagnostics services for private, commercial, and fleet vehicles. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we pinpoint faults quickly and accurately. Our technicians are fully trained and experienced in diesel systems.
From fault finding to performance testing, we deliver fast, effective results, helping you avoid unnecessary downtime and expensive repairs.
Fault Code Reading
We use advanced diagnostic scanners to read and interpret fault codes from your diesel engine’s control unit.
This allows us to quickly locate faults, diagnose specific problems, and recommend effective repairs, saving you both time and money while keeping your vehicle performing at its best.
Engine Performance Testing
Our engine performance testing checks key areas like fuel efficiency, power output, and engine responsiveness.
By analysing real-time data, we ensure your diesel engine is running smoothly and identify any areas of concern, helping to optimise performance, reduce emissions, and prevent costly repairs.
Emissions Testing
We carry out professional emissions testing to measure the pollutants produced by your diesel vehicle.
By checking exhaust outputs, we help you stay compliant with legal standards, reduce environmental impact, and catch problems early, such as faulty injectors, sensors, or exhaust after-treatment systems.
Fuel System Checks
We thoroughly inspect your diesel engine’s fuel system, including injectors, pumps, and filters.
By identifying blockages, leaks, or worn components early, we help maintain optimum fuel delivery, ensure efficient combustion, and protect your engine from performance issues, reduced power, and unnecessary fuel consumption.
Turbocharger Inspection
Our turbocharger inspections check for signs of wear, oil leaks, inefficiency, or mechanical damage.
A failing turbo can reduce power and fuel economy, so we assess its condition carefully. If needed, we offer professional repairs or replacements to restore your diesel engine’s full performance.
Warning Light Diagnosis
Dashboard warning lights can signal anything from minor issues to serious faults. We use diagnostic tools to find the cause behind engine management lights, emissions warnings, or performance alerts.
Once diagnosed, we explain the problem clearly and provide fast, effective solutions to fix it.

Signs Your Diesel Engine Needs a Check
If your diesel engine feels sluggish, struggles to accelerate, produces excessive smoke, or shows a sudden rise in fuel consumption, it’s time to book a diagnostic check.
Dashboard warning lights, difficulty starting, rough idling, or strange engine noises are also strong signs of hidden issues. Ignoring these problems can lead to more serious damage over time.
Regular diagnostic checks help avoid unexpected breakdowns, costly repairs, and unnecessary stress. Early action keeps your vehicle reliable, efficient, and safe on the road.

Diesel Fuel Injection
In every diesel engine, there is a fuel injection system which uses a pump to pressurise high pressure on fuel. It does this by compressing the air into the combustion chamber. This then sends the required fuel to the engine cylinders, so that your diesel engine can use the fuel reliably and effectively. This means ensuring enough fuel is delivered to the engine cylinders to match the power requirements and the engine size.

Engine Remapping
Engine remapping is a process that is used to get more power and better performance out of your vehicle. The process involves overwriting the factory settings on your specific engine manufacturer. Studies have shown that engine remapping can increase its performance by 35%, and you can feel the change in the engine as soon as the process is done. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
