What's Included in a TDi Generator Repair Service?
System Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
We begin with a thorough inspection and diagnostic process to pinpoint the exact cause of the failure, whether it's an engine issue, electrical fault, or transfer switch problem.
Engine and Mechanical Repairs
- Fuel System Repair: Fixing issues like clogged fuel lines, faulty fuel pumps, or air in the fuel system (a common issue in units that sit idle).
- Oil and Fluid Leaks: Identifying and sealing oil, fuel, or coolant leaks that can lead to engine damage.
- Spark Plug and Ignition Repair: Replacing worn-out spark plugs and fixing ignition issues that prevent the engine from starting.
- Cooling System Service: Repairing leaks and ensuring proper coolant levels to prevent dangerous overheating.
Electrical and Transfer Switch Repair
We are also fully licensed electricians, meaning we can handle the power-side of your repair with expertise, including:
- Repairing or replacing Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) that fail to signal the generator to turn on.
- Fixing electrical shorts, wiring issues, and control panel errors.
- Diagnosing and resolving low power output problems, often caused by an overloaded generator or faulty components.
Battery Replacement and Charging System Repair
The single most common reason a generator fails to start is a dead battery. We test the battery, charging system, and connections, and provide professional battery replacement if necessary.
Exhaust System Service
Clearing carbon buildup or repairing leaks in the exhaust system to ensure optimal engine performance.
