We repair and service FAW diesel generators across Gauteng, whether your plate says FAW or FAWDE. Both names cover the same family of diesel engines and generator sets, and we diagnose them the same way: start, fuel, cooling, controller and output.

Independent service and repair: FAW is a trademark of its owner, and ProService Generator Repairs is not a FAW dealer or agent.

FAW Diesel Generator Repairs

FAWDE is the diesel engine arm of FAW, so you may see either name on the engine plate or the canopy. We book both the same way and note each badge on the job card.

FAW sets are common on commercial sites and in canopies built by local integrators. We read the plates first, then work through the fault in order.

FAW Diesel Generator Servicing

We change FAW and FAWDE engine oil and filters to the schedule on the data plate, and check the battery on standby sets that sit unused between outages.

Every service includes a review of the controller alarms, so small faults are caught before they stop the set in an outage.

FAW Diesel Generator Sizes We Service

We work on FAW and FAWDE commercial standby sets where access allows. The plates give us the kVA and controller type.

Why a FAW diesel generator will not start

When a FAW set will not crank, we check the battery, the starter and any panel inhibit.

When it cranks without firing, we trace the fuel filter, air in the lines and the solenoid. Diesel left standing in the tank is a common finding on FAW sites.

Fuel delivery, injectors and pumps

We diagnose the fuel path on the FAW or FAWDE engine fitted, confirming the filter housing on site before we list parts.

We link rough running and smoke under load to fuel delivery and filter condition before quoting injectors. FAW site sets often have contaminated diesel after a long idle spell.

Controllers, ATS, cooling and output

FAW installations use different controllers depending on who built the set. We read the alarm on the panel fitted and trace it for that controller.

When a FAW standby set runs but the building does not transfer, we test the ATS and the panel’s start output.

For temperature shutdowns, we check coolant, the radiator and the fan, and confirm airflow through enclosed canopies.

We measure voltage at the breaker and AVR once engine speed is stable, and take the alternator make from the generator nameplate.

What We Check During a FAW Generator Repair

We check the FAW or FAWDE engine, the panel and the alternator on the same visit.

  • Battery and starter circuit
  • Controller alarms and controller state
  • Emergency stop and protective shutdowns
  • Oil and coolant condition
  • Fuel filters and fuel delivery
  • Fuel solenoid where fitted
  • Lift pump where fitted
  • Injectors where symptoms indicate
  • Cooling pack and airflow
  • Engine speed and frequency
  • AVR where fitted
  • Alternator and socket or breaker output
  • ATS or start-signal path where relevant

FAW Generator Repair or Service?

Book a repair when the set fails to start, trips on load or shows a panel shutdown, whether it is labelled FAW or FAWDE.

Book a service when fluids and filters are due and the set still runs on test.

FAW Generator Problems Under Load

A FAW diesel can idle evenly and hunt under building load. We compare fuel delivery and alternator capacity on the installation to find the cause.

Is a FAW Generator Worth Repairing?

A fuel or battery repair on a moderate-hour FAW set is usually worth doing. A major engine overhaul on a high-hour standby installation needs a closer look.

When the engine, alternator and controller all need major work, we price a complete replacement set alongside the repair.

What Affects FAW Generator Repair Cost?

Your cost depends on where the fault is and parts availability for your FAW or FAWDE engine and panel. A fuel pump repair or replacement typically costs R1,800 to R4,500.

Common FAW Diesel Generator Faults

The FAW and FAWDE faults we see most often, and our first checks.

FAW or FAWDE on the plate

Either name is fine. The engine plate tells us which parts to bring.

Cranks, no fire

The fuel filter, air in the line or the solenoid.

Runs, no transfer

The ATS or the panel’s start output on a standby set.

Overheat on site

Coolant, the radiator or airflow through the enclosure.

Low voltage

The AVR or alternator, once engine speed is stable.
