Help me find a mechanic..

Post by ZOOK92 »

who can tune diesels in the northern part of Sydney. We have a million mechanics up here, but no one seems to be diesel specific. The old 4Runner could do with some lovin' from someone else but me.. ;)

Nothing major, I just want it tuned, as I have had it for 50k and I know the last previous owner had it for many years and did not do so either.

It's not north side but it's definitely worth seeing the guys at West End Diesel.

what sort of vehicle is it? most Diesels have very little to 'tune', they are set and forget, once tuned they stay tuned for a very long time. If it is down on power or blowing smoke, chances are it needs more than just a 'tune'.

Also define 'northern' for Sydney. there is Norwest Diesel in Castle Hill. Traction 4 are not, to my knowledge, Diesel specialists.

I used to work near there and one of the mechanics was a diesel specialist. Cant remember his name though, I want to say Roger?

Anyway, apparently h was a bit of a gun and they used to get him to do all the work on all the 100s that go in there :D

This was a couple of years ago, not sure if he's still there though. You're right though Dumbdunce they are not specifically diesel specialists but I recommended them due to this guy.
