"Fantastic result. I couldn't recommend the Flash Diesel team more highly. My experience was excellent — from the first customer contact through to the custom tuning work done on my Mercedes C250 Diesel. The outcome has been outstanding — the power, torque and economy I now drive with every day is so very pleasing! It's completely changed my driving experience. Well done Flash Diesel. Thank you!!"

Custom diesel tuning isn't just for utes. If it's got a diesel engine, we can make it work harder and smarter — whatever you drive.

🔍 Sometimes the problem isn’t what the scan tool tells you… it’s what experience finds.

This customer had already been to the dealership, but the fault was still hiding in plain sight. After some thorough diagnostics here at Hervey Bay Mechanical, we tracked it down to a damaged turbocharger compressor wheel.

As you can see in the photos, the turbo blades had suffered significant damage, affecting performance and causing ongoing issues that had been missed elsewhere.

✅ Fault diagnosed
✅ Turbo replaced/repaired
✅ Vehicle back on the road
✅ One very happy customer

We don’t just plug in a scanner and hope for the best. We get our hands dirty, investigate properly, and find the root cause.

If your vehicle has been to multiple workshops and you’re still chasing the same problem, bring it to the team at Hervey Bay Mechanical. We love a challenge.

***UPDATED PICTURES ***

Pajero owners… this is what’s hiding inside your intake system!

These photos are from a customer’s Pajero that came into the workshop suffering from the usual diesel breathing problems. Years of EGR soot and oily crankcase vapours have combined to create enough carbon build-up to start its own suburb.

Swipe through the photos and have a look at the restriction. The engine’s trying to breathe through something that resembles a coal mine. 😳

At Hervey Bay Mechanical, we can remove and thoroughly clean intake manifolds, throttle bodies and associated components to restore airflow and performance.

Unlike some workshops, we don’t just plug in a scan tool, clear the fault codes and send it back out the gate with a “she’ll be right.” We actually fix the cause of the problem. 😉

If your diesel is feeling lazy, lacking power, smoking, or throwing intake-related fault codes, give us a call and we’ll have a look before it turns into a full-time carbon storage facility.
