If you notice your car seems to be suffering from poor fuel economy, is lacking power when accelerating, displays an overall lack of power or the engine seems to be unusually hot all the time, it could be time for a carbon clean.

Diesel engine intake and carbon cleaning is an essential but often overlooked part of maintaining a modern diesel engine. Most people do not realise how much carbon builds up in their engines. It accumulates on pistons, rings, valves and injectors. Build up in EGR valves and intake manifolds causes engines to run rough, have reduced power and use more fuel.

Since 1999 most cars in built in Australia will have an EGR system of some kind. If your vehicle happens to be fitted with an EGR system, there is something you should know. Carbon buildup in Intake Manifold and EGR Valves could be choking your engine.

This is common in both petrol and diesel engines, but turbo and diesel engines tend to be more susceptible to the problem, especially where a PCV system is used. Les Haldane Mechanical Gawler have the skills and equipment to give your engine a full carbon clean. This helps ensure correct fuel mix, improve efficiency and fuel economy and generally assists in protecting the engine.

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Willaston and Willaston

Automotive maintenance is not merely about oil changes or brake checks, it also encompasses the cooling and heating systems within the car, primarily the air conditioning unit.

One often-asked question is: how do I identify if my car air conditioner needs a service? There are quite a few signs to watch out for, some of them include: diminished cooling efficiency, unusual noises during operation, the A/C takes more time than usual to cool down the car, a foul smell emanating when the A/C is turned on or if there's water pooling inside the car. The most evident of all signs is when the A/C stops working entirely.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

Many people underestimate the importance of regular checks on the air conditioning system. Just like any other part of your car, your A/C unit also goes through regular wear and tear, and ignoring its service can lead to significant discomfort during your drive.

Car Air Conditioning Service in Willaston

An intermitting vehicle, poor fuel consumption, trouble starting the engine and general poor performance all point to a potential need for an EFI service.

EFI Service is required whenever a car does not seem to be running at its peak efficiency or when you feel it's fuel economy seems to have dropped. Carbon deposits can form on the engine valves, and their reduced performance ability leads to increased fuel consumption.

Fuel additive type cleaners do not effectively fix the problem as they only clean the injectors and do remove the carbon build which can build up in the more crucial areas of the fuel system. Any benefit you do get from such products is usually marginal and generally short lived.

A good Electronic Fuel Injection service, carried out by qualified mechanics, will ensure that the catalytic converter, the fuel and intake systems, engine valves and combustion chambers are all properly cleaned and are in good condition.

Les Haldane Mechanical Gawler mechanics are Auto-Tech trained and use the right equipment to ensure the best results for your car.
