Another oil leak sorted and back on the road.

This vehicle came in with an engine oil leak from the sump area. We carried out diagnostics to pinpoint the source, removed the affected components, repaired the leak, and cleaned the area to ensure no further oil loss.

Ignoring oil leaks can lead to low oil levels, contamination of other components, and costly engine damage. Catching them early saves money and keeps your vehicle reliable.

Leak diagnosed

Vehicle tested and returned to service

This fuel sample was taken from a customer's vehicle after experiencing running issues and loss of performance. As you can see, contamination and water in fuel can quickly lead to blocked filters, injector damage, poor engine performance, and costly downtime.

Regular fuel system inspections and preventative maintenance can help catch these issues before they become major repairs.

🚨 SEIZED SWIRL FLAPS — ANOTHER DIESEL PROBLEM CAUSED BY CARBON BUILD-UP

This intake manifold came off a diesel engine with the swirl flaps completely seized.

The swirl flap system is designed to control airflow through the intake at different engine operating conditions. When heavy deposits build up, the flaps can become restricted and eventually stick in position.

That can lead to:

⚠️ Reduced engine performance
⚠️ Poor throttle response
⚠️ Airflow problems
⚠️ EGR/intake faults
⚠️ Increased fuel consumption
⚠️ Potential actuator or linkage failure

The important part is finding the problem before a seized component causes further damage.

At Stoddy’s Mobile Mechanical, we can diagnose intake and EGR system faults, inspect the cause of the problem and carry out professional intake system cleaning and repairs.

🔧 Don't ignore the symptoms. Find the cause.

📞 If your diesel is lacking power, using more fuel or showing intake/EGR faults, contact Stoddy’s Mobile Mechanical.

⚠️ FAILED WHEEL BEARINGS — DON’T IGNORE THE NOISE!

Wheel bearings are one of those components that can quietly deteriorate until they become a serious problem.

A failing bearing can cause:

🔊 Humming, grinding or rumbling noises
🚗 Excessive wheel play
⚠️ Vibration through the vehicle
🔥 Excessive heat around the hub
❌ In severe cases, bearing or hub failure

This vehicle came in with failed wheel bearings, requiring attention before the problem progressed further.

Regular inspections can catch bearing wear before it turns into an expensive repair — or a potential safety issue.

At Stoddy’s Mobile Mechanical, we inspect wheel bearings, hubs, brakes and suspension components as part of our vehicle and fleet maintenance.

Hear a new humming or grinding noise? Don't turn the radio up — get it checked! 🔧

📞 Contact Stoddy’s Mobile Mechanical for your next inspection or repair.

🔥 DPF OVERLOAD — AND THIS ONE DESTROYED ITSELF!

This DPF has gone well beyond a simple blockage.

Once a DPF becomes heavily overloaded with soot and ash, regeneration can become ineffective or impossible. Continued operation can cause extreme temperatures, damaging the filter substrate and eventually destroying the DPF.

This is the result. 👇

🔥 DPF severely overheated
💥 Filter substrate damaged
🚫 DPF no longer serviceable
💰 What could have been a clean or repair has now become a major replacement cost

A DPF warning light should never be ignored.

If your vehicle is performing frequent regens, losing power, using more fuel or repeatedly logging DPF faults, there is a reason — and simply forcing another regeneration isn't always the answer.

At Stoddy’s Mobile Mechanical, we diagnose the cause of DPF problems before they turn into expensive failures.

Catch it early. Save the DPF. Save the $$$.

🚨 FUEL PUMP FAILURE — DIRTY FUEL CAN BE A KILLER!

This is what we found inside a fuel system after a fuel pump failure.

Contaminated fuel, dirt and debris can cause serious damage to fuel system components. A restricted or failing fuel pump can leave you with poor engine performance, hard starting or a vehicle that simply won't run.

🔧 Fuel system problems can show up as:
* Hard starting
* Loss of power
* Engine cutting out
* Poor fuel pressure
* No-start condition
* Fuel pump faults

When a fuel system component fails, don't just replace the pump and send it back out the door. The cause of the failure needs to be investigated.

At Stoddy’s Mobile Mechanical, we diagnose fuel system faults properly and check the system for contamination and related issues.

Find the cause. Fix the problem. Get it back to work.
