Need mechanic in half hour Sefton to do van inspection

$200

Sefton NSW, Australia

12th Jul 2025

As the description states, my mechanic pulled out and the van will be here in about 20-25 minutes need a inspection - 🔧 1️⃣ Immediate / Priority Maintenance Checks ✅ Timing Belt (if fitted) or Timing Chain: • IMPORTANT: Your iLoad CRDi uses a timing chain (not a belt), but chains can still stretch or wear. • Listen for rattling or slapping sounds, especially on cold starts. • If you have any doubt, get it inspected—timing chain failure is catastrophic. ✅ Transmission: • If it’s automatic, confirm: • Fluid has been changed every ~60,000–80,000 km. • No delayed shifts, slipping, or clunks. • Consider a transmission fluid flush/filter change. ✅ Injectors & Fuel System: • Common Rail Diesels at this mileage often have: • Injector wear → rough idle, smoke. • Carbon buildup. • Get injectors tested, and possibly ultrasonic cleaned. • Replace diesel fuel filter if not recently done. ✅ Turbocharger: • Check for: • Excessive whistle or siren noise. • Oil leaks around turbo. • Loss of power. • Inspect boost hoses for cracks or splits. ✅ DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): • If it has a DPF, ensure it’s not clogged. • Look for: • Check engine light. • Reduced power. • Excessive smoke. • You may need forced regeneration or cleaning. ✅ Cooling System: • Radiator and hoses—look for leaks, swelling, or soft spots. • Water pump condition. • Replace coolant if overdue. ✅ Brakes: • Discs and pads—240,000 km likely means they’ve been changed, but inspect for uneven wear. • Check brake fluid (should be replaced every 2 years).
