25.01.2022 Just like oil lubricates the engine of your vehicle, radiator fluid, a combination of water and anti-freeze, lubricates the water pump which circulates the radiator fluid in the engine for cooling purposes. After extended use, the radiator fluid loses its lubrication properties and its ability to keep from freezing at sub-zero temperatures. When this happens, its time for a much-needed radiator service. So you may be asking, is a radiator drain sufficient or is a radiator fl...ush necessary? Flushing the radiator injects 4 to 5 gallons of anti-freeze through the cooling system which cleans out all of the old anti-freeze and any contaminants that have accumulated in the cooling system. It is a fairly inexpensive process that should be performed every year, or as recommended in your owners manual. So what is a radiator drain? Draining the radiator only removes about 50% of the total anti-freeze in the system and leaves the majority of contaminants. This also means that the new anti-freeze added to the radiator will just be mixing with the remaining old fluid. This procedure is less expensive yet considerably less effective. What are the Benefits of a Radiator Flush? Removes Rust and Scale Deposit - A flush removing the old anti-freeze helps to remove the rust and scale deposits that build up over time. This is important since these build-ups can cause overheating or damage to your radiator. Lubricates the Water Pump - Additives in the coolant lubricates the vehicles water pump and lengthens its life. Removes Contaminants The additives in the coolant lose important anti-corrosive properties over time so the build-up of particles is inevitable. Inspection of System During a radiator flush service, a complete inspection of your cooling system will be conducted, including a pressure test to check for leaks. Protect Against Rust and Foam- The additives in the new anti-freeze will be more effective in preventing rust and other build up of debris, and preventing foaming in the system so it operates more efficiently. . . . #motormechanic #pointcookbusiness #pointcookmums #pointcook #carworkshop #carservices #carservicing #christmas #vehiclesafety #carinspection

21.01.2022 An internal combustion engine requires three key ingredients to operate: air, fuel and spark. A spark plug is a critical engine component that provides the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture that drives an engine. A spark plug operates by directing electrical current to flow through a centre electrode, forming a spark across an electrode (or air) gap, completing the circuit to a ground electrode. The centre electrode is surrounded by a ceramic insulator which is non-conductive preventing current leakage and ensuring electricity flows in the desired direction.

18.01.2022 Roadworthiness A Certificate of Roadworthiness (also known as a roadworthy or RWC) shows that your vehicles safe enough to be used on public roads. A roadworthy is required whenever a vehicles sold, if its being re-registered, and to clear some defect notices. A Certificate of Roadworthiness isnt a guarantee that a vehicles mechanically reliable, it just shows that its safe enough to be driven.... What does the Certificate of Roadworthiness inspection cover? Whats checked The roadworthy inspection is a check of the vehicle to make sure that key components are in a good enough condition for safe road use. It includes: wheels and tyres steering, suspensions and braking systems seats and seatbelts lights and reflectors windscreen, and windows including front wipers and washers vehicle structure other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine. What isnt checked The roadworthiness test isnt a check of the mechanical reliability or general condition of a vehicle. A Certificate of Roadworthiness does not mean that: the vehicle is in top condition without any wear or deterioration non-safety related accessories (such as the air conditioner, rear window demister, electric windows and rear-window wipers) are working the items checked during the roadworthy inspection will continue to function after the inspection, e.g. a brake light can stop functioning at any time after the inspection the vehicle complies with all of the Australian Design Rules (ADRs) If you require a comprehensive vehicle inspection If you require a comprehensive check on the overall condition and reliability of the vehicle then you should arrange for a separate independent vehicle inspection.

13.01.2022 Why is changing windscreen wiper blades important? It is imperative to have a clear and unimpeded view when driving which is why its important to maintain and replace your wipers regularly. As windscreen wipers are continually exposed to heat, frost, dirt, insects and other airborne objects, the blades deteriorate over time and lose their effectiveness. As a high percentage of driving decisions are made based on what a driver can see, if visibility is impaired, driving can b...ecome more dangerous if the wiper call to make a appointment on 03 8360 3633. . . . #windscreenwiperblades #carsafety #vehiclesafety #mechanic #hopperscrossing #pointcook #workshop #engine See more

11.01.2022 What is thermostat? A car thermostat is a small device that sits between the radiator and the engine of a liquid-cooled car. Its principal function is to regulate the flow of engine coolant from the engine to the radiator. When closed, engine coolant cannot flow into the radiator which can lead to a rapid increase in engine temperature . .. #mechanicalworkshop #mechanic #carparts #educate #mechanicmemes #thermostat

09.01.2022 Something we see a lot at our service centre, people Putting the wrong fuel in your car often petrol in a diesel car is an easy mistake to make. It is also really easy to stop your mistake from costing you thousands by doing nothing. If you realise during or after filling up that youve put the wrong fuel in, dont start the engine. Instead, call 03 8360 3633 Our team will help You.arrange a tow to hopefully get your your to our service centre and have mechanic to dra...in the fuel. Attempting to siphon the fuel out of the tank is not recommended you wont be able to remove all of the fuel from the tank, and you could be putting your safety or the environment at risk. If you started your car, or drove away before you realised your mistake, stop somewhere safe as soon as you can, and switch the engine off to minimise damage. Putting petrol in a diesel car can cause serious damage to the fuel injection system and the engine. A diesel fuel pump operates on very fine tolerance at high pressures and is lubricated by the diesel fuel. When petrol is added to diesel, it reduces the lubrication properties, which can damage the fuel pump through metal-to-metal contact, and create metal particles which can cause significant damage to the rest of the fuel system. Serious engine damage may also occur due to detonation caused by uncontrolled petrol ignition under the much higher compression ratio in diesel engines. What to do if you put diesel in a petrol engine Inadvertently putting diesel in a petrol car is more difficult to do, because diesel bowser nozzles are deliberately larger than petrol ones, so they wont fit into the filler neck of most petrol cars. The result of putting diesel in your petrol car is not quite as catastrophic as when its the other way round. The car will usually run roughly and the exhaust will be smoky. But it is still much better not to drive the car no matter which type of wrong fuel youve put in the tank. . . . #petrol #diesel #fueltank #motormechanic #mechanic

08.01.2022 Automatic transmission service Why is it important? Transmission gears deliver power from the engine to the drive wheels, shifting automatically to provide the best power and efficiency for your driving speed. A special transmission fluid cools and lubricates the gears. Over time, this fluid degrades, and its lubricant qualities diminish. Changing the fluid at the correct intervals can help prevent premature wear and damage to the transmission.... What is the service? Removal of the old transmission fluid and replace it with new, clean fluid of the grade recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Automatic Transmission Drain and Fill Automatic transmission fluid lubricates, cools and cleans internal components of the transmission. It also helps to maintain the hydraulic pressure necessary for the transmission to function. The additives in the transmission fluid can be depleted over time. Drain & Fill service includes: reinstalling transmission fill/drain plug refilling the transmission with new automatic transmission fluid to the proper level #transmission #service #mechanictipa #mechanic #workshop
