🚨 Another diesel performance issue solved by the team at Pit Diesel Solutions 🚨

This 2019 Mazda BT-50 came into the workshop suffering from ongoing performance faults, reduced engine power and repeated limp mode activation.

After carrying out an initial road test and full diagnostic scan we identified 6 active DTC faults including:

✔️ Glow plug faults
✔️ Diesel particulate matter fault
✔️ Transmission control system fault
✔️ Mass airflow control range faults
✔️ Turbocharger under boost fault

During our inspection we identified an oil leak from the air intake pipe assembly. Further inspection revealed multiple fatigue cracks causing major boost pressure loss and triggering ongoing performance issues.

🔧 Repairs carried out:
• Replaced complete set of glow plugs
• Removed and inspected intake assembly components
• Cleaned intake manifold and associated piping
• Repaired boost leak issues caused by cracked intake piping
• Cleared and retested all active DTC faults

The failed glow plugs were also responsible for the diesel particulate matter fault and transmission control system faults making these consequential faults rather than standalone component failures. Once a complete new set of glow plugs was installed these related faults were successfully rectified.

Once reassembled, the vehicle was road tested to confirm all repairs and restore full engine performance 💪

At Pit Diesel Solutions we specialise in diagnosing and repairing diesel performance faults across a wide range of vehicles and machinery.

🚛 MAN TGS 26.540 – Low Power Fault Resolved 🔧

We recently had a return client bring in their truck with an ongoing low power issue, particularly noticeable under towing conditions.

After an initial road test of the truck we confirmed the fault and got to work with a full diagnostic scan. This revealed two key issues:
• A faulty fuel pump metering valve showing erratic readings under boost
• An active coolant level signal fault

From there we tilted the cab and replaced the fuel metering valve, followed by a thorough inspection of the turbo boost system. During this process we found and repaired a leaking turbo boost pipe seal.

We also tracked down the coolant fault to a simple but critical issue, the coolant level sensor connector hadn’t been plugged in correctly. Once reconnected everything was reassembled and ready for testing.

On the final road test under load:
✅ Fuel system performing correctly
✅ Coolant fault cleared
✅ Strong return of power and torque under towing

The root cause was a combination of the faulty fuel metering valve and coolant system fault which led the ECM to limit engine power as a protective measure.

Another truck back on the road and performing as it should 💪

⚠️ Experiencing engine low power, poor performance, or lack of torque under load?

🚛 Kenworth T609 In for Inspection & Diagnostics 🔧

This client brought in their Kenworth T609 prime mover with an air leak at the rear of the gearbox along with a leaking brake booster on the right-hand side of the #2 drive axle.

While carrying out diagnostics we also identified an ABS/traction control fault. Using our diagnostic equipment we found zero wheel speed reading from the left-hand rear wheel speed sensor allowing us to quickly narrow down the cause.

Upon inspection, we identified a damaged electrical connector at the left-hand rear wheel speed sensor. The damage had allowed moisture and debris to enter the connector resulting in the sensor short circuiting and creating the original fault.
The client has been informed and the full repair has now been scheduled to ensure the issue is properly rectified.

Air system, braking, and ABS faults are critical for safety and performance so it’s essential they’re diagnosed and repaired correctly the first time. Another thorough fault diagnosis completed to keep this truck operating safely and reliably.

If you’re experiencing warning lights, air leaks, or braking concerns get in touch as early diagnosis can prevent bigger problems down the track.

At PIT Diesel Solutions, we work on a wide range of equipment including mining, civil, agricultural machinery and light vehicles.

Recently, we travelled to a remote outstation on Cape York to inspect and repair a John Deere 6330 tractor fitted with a CL390X boom/bucket attachment and rear slashing deck. This machine plays a critical role in remote fence clearing and control burning operations for Queensland Parks & Wildlife.

Our inspection found the machine urgently required a full service along with multiple repairs including damaged hydraulic hoses, electrical issues, missing components and hydraulic leaks.

All parts were quickly sourced, and repairs were completed on site getting the machine safely back to work with minimal downtime. ✔️

If you can’t come to us — we will come to you.

🚙 Toyota Landcruiser VDJ79 – Starting & Power Issues

This Landcruiser came in with a starting fault, which we quickly diagnosed as a faulty starter motor.

While carrying out repairs, we discovered heavy carbon build-up restricting the engine’s air intake. The starter motor was replaced, and the air intake components were thoroughly cleaned before reassembly.

The repair was confirmed on start-up, followed by a road test that showed a noticeable improvement in power thanks to improved airflow. 💪

If your vehicle is experiencing starting issues, loss of power, or poor performance, contact PIT Diesel Solutions for reliable diagnosis and repairs.

We recently travelled to remote Cape York to complete a scheduled 2,000-hour service on a Caterpillar D6 dozer and 16M grader for a road development project.

All servicing was completed on site, minimising downtime while meeting manufacturer service requirements. Thorough inspections ensured both machines are reliable, efficient, and ready to keep performing in tough remote conditions.

Another machine serviced and back to work ✔️

A customer contacted us after a failed fan belt on a Caterpillar 432F2 Backhoe had caused the engine to overheat. The machine operator also reported that the transmission was not cycling through its gear range while travelling which was leading to a transmission overheat event.

We replaced the failed fan belt and then proceeded to investigate the transmission fault. During inspection, we quickly identified a leaking transmission suction hose which appeared to have been impacted during operation.

Further inspection revealed the transmission speed sensor had been snapped off. This damage prevented the onboard ECM from accurately reading engine and transmission speed data resulting in the transmission being unable to cycle through its gear range while operating.

Faults were identified and rectified, restoring correct operation and preventing further overheating events.

Another machine diagnosed, repaired, and returned to service ✔️
