AADS network - passionate about diesel & turbos
It started out when a group of diesel fuel injection specialists in New South Wales, Australia, sat down together in the 1970s and decided to form an association of like-minded people – dedicated business owners, passionate about the diesel industry.
Naturally enough, it started after a training school, and those present decided that the industry should have an association to share common problems. It was also their vision that the people in the industry would get to know each other and work together for the benefit of the industry and its customers
Thus began Association of Australasian Diesel Specialists (AADS), and it soon grew across Australia and into New Zealand
The AADS holds an annual convention in Australia, and the New Zealand branch also has a local convention every year with local and international guest speakers, and training.
These conventions also see representatives in attendance from the large global diesel fuel system and turbocharger manufacturers such as Bosch-ZexelL, Denso, Delphi, Stanadyne, Garrett, Holset, Borg Warner and IHI.
Every member of AADS is a specialist in repairing diesel fuel injection systems and turbochargers, as well as common rail pumps, inline pumps, rotary pumps, electronic pumps, common rail Injectors, EUI injectors, traditional injectors and turbochargers. All require specialist expertise, skills and high tech test equipment to repair.
The demands of a diesel engine are no longer just about power and torque. Today, the performance indicators for a diesel engine are driven by governments and environmental laws. It’s all about emissions and fuel economy!
The heart of any diesel engine has always been its fuel system. Diesel pumps and injectors are precision metering devices with critical functions and extremely fine operating tolerances.
The modern common rail diesel fuel system has taken those functions to a new level. Performance characteristics and operating tolerances are now so fine that only the best quality tooling, training and test equipment is good enough to service the modern diesel system components.
Only a dedicated diesel specialist can provide the quality service necessary for today’s diesel fuel injection systems. AADS members are continually re-investing in their businesses to ensure they have top quality tooling, highly-skilled staff and the latest test equipment to support the requirements of their customers.
In-vehicle electronic diagnostics is now an everyday part of a busy diesel workshop. AADS members have stepped up to the plate, investing heavily in the latest diagnostic equipment, and are often the ones who get the “help” call when no one else has been able to fix a tricky engine fault.
Turbochargers also now play a major role in the performance and emissions of diesel engines. Once a luxury extra, it would now be difficult to find a diesel engine on the market that is not equipped with a turbocharger.
Modern turbos rotate in excess of 300,000rpm. Lazy turbo lag has now been all but eliminated with the introduction of variable vane or variable nozzle turbochargers. Boost pressure is now precisely monitored and controlled right throughout the rpm range.
Your diesel and turbo specialist has precision repair and balancing equipment for reliable repair of modern turbo-chargers.
Where repair is not possible, the AADS turbo repairer has unique relationships with the turbo manufacturers to supply you with new genuine replacement turbochargers.
So, if you want an accurate diagnosis first time, or you need your diesel fuel pumps, injectors or turbos repaired, don’t take any unnecessary risks, instead, take it to an AADS member. Because with a AADS Nationwide Warranty, they’ve got your back.
