Welcome to the first Berrima Diesel Podcast.
In this episode, we talk through what white, black and blue diesel smoke can tell you—and why smoke colour is only the starting point for a proper diagnosis.
Drawing on three generations of practical diesel experience since 1956, the discussion covers real workshop examples, blow-by, oil consumption, airflow restrictions, carbon build-up and the differences between older mechanical diesels and modern common-rail engines.
Straightforward diesel knowledge from the Berrima Diesel family workshop in Berrima, NSW.
