How Car Shock Absorbers Works

Shock Absorbers

Shock absorbers, as the name accurately implies, work with the car's suspension to absorb the affects of bumps and holes in the road. The most obvious benefit of shock absorbers is that they provide a smooth, comfortable ride over various surfaces and roads.

Shock Absorber

Not so obvious is the safety role they play in your car's handling and steering - particularly in maintaining steering and stability. However, for such a vitally important part of your car's safety system, there are big differences in the quality of shock absorbers.

Signs you might need new shock absorbers:

  • Unresponsive steering
  • Abnormally bumpy ride

Genuine Shock Absorbers

Genuine Shock Absorber section

There are two main features that determine the quality of shock absorbers:

  • Individual Models Shock Absorbers are specifically designed for each individual model to optimise handling performance and suspension safety. From the piston structure to the connective bushings, every Shock Absorber is designed for perfect fit. Many non-genuine shock absorbers are 'one size fits all' designs for a variety of cars regardless of individual requirements.
  • High Quality Materials Shock Absorbers include Teflon? processed piston bands and piston rods which are specially coated for superior rust resistance. These long-lasting parts work smoothly to reduce noise and bumps to make driving a pleasure. Many non-genuine shock absorbers avoid using Teflon? and other protective measures, reducing longevity and performance substantially.

Shock Absorbers are designed for longevity and performance, shock absorbers will always be inspected according to the servicing schedule.

All About Car Windscreen Wipers Blades And Rubbers

Windscreen Wipers

About Wipers, Rubbers and Blades

Windscreen wipers are very important for safe driving, especially at night. They are designed to effectively remove moisture and dirt from the front and rear windscreen, providing a clear view for the driver.

However, the soft rubber inserts are vulnerable to wear and tear from the elements and can be literally worn out with use. Contaminants and adverse conditions on the road can accelerate rubber deterioration, often resulting in chattering and streaking across the windscreen. Lack of use, due to storage or driving in dry climates can leave the rubber on the windscreen wipers cracked and brittle. The same applies to headlamp wipers too, and all rubber inserts should be checked regularly and changed when necessary.

Signs you may need to replace your windscreen wipers:

  • Chattering or streaking across the windscreen
  • Cracks or brittleness on the wiper
  • Smearing on the windscreen after use

Wipers and Washer

Windscreen Wipers

Genuine Wipers  have been designed especially for your car. When you get your car serviced by technicians, they will know to check the condition of the wiper blades and its rubber inserts.

To ensure maximum windscreen cleanliness, use the Windscreen Washer Additive. Giving the rubber blade a regular wipe with tissue will also help to clean off the build-up of grease and grime. This will help to maintain a clear view through the windscreen and keep your wipers working longer.

How Car Spark Plugs Works

Spark Plugs

The spark plug is one of the smallest and most important components in a petrol engine; it is responsible for actually making the engine operate. Thousands of times every minute, the spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture, which propels the engine's cylinders to drive the car.

Genuine Spark Plug

Spark plugs must operate within a precise heat range. If they work outside that range, the plug will not operate at optimum efficiency, which can result in poor starting, reduced performance under load, and increased fuel consumption.

Equally important is the resistor located between the centre electrode and the centre axis, which prevents interference with onboard electronics such as your radio. So, if your radio is full of static, chances are you've got spark plugs that are impairing your engine's performance.

Common signs that your spark plugs need to be replaced include:

  • Difficult starting
  • Unstable running
  • Engine misfires
  • Increased fuel consumption
Spark Plug section

Genuine Spark Plugs

At first glance, all spark plugs look pretty much the same. However, there are many distinguishing features between spark plugs that can make enormous differences to the way your engine performs. In fact, non-genuine spark plugs might not only reduce performance, they can also increase the chances of damage to your engine.

A Unique Electrode for Better Spark

Genuine Spark Plugs feature a unique U-groove ground electrode, which means it creates a bigger and more consistent spark, allowing for:

  • Better fuel efficiency
  • Faster response
  • Lower gas emissions

Optimal Thermal Conduction

The case or housing around the internal spark plug components is vital to the stable performance and long life of the plug. The precise construction and quality materials of a Genuine Spark Plug housing ensures a high rate of thermal conduction which prevents the plugs from running 'too hot' or 'too cold' and causing engine misfires or pre-ignition (which may also cause engine damage.

All About Car Element Air Refiner Cabin

Cabin Air Filters / Ac Filters

Genuine Cabin Air Filters

As you drive, millions of microscopic particles enter your car's interior via the ventilation/air conditioning system. To prevent this, the vast majority of current models [B18]  feature Cabin Air Filters which sit over the ventilation system and capture airborne particles before they enter the car's cabin. Diesel smoke, pollens, fungi, cement dust, ashes, dirt and mould can all be prevented from entering the cabin and affecting your comfort and wellbeing.

Because the Cabin Air Filter is located in front of the air conditioning unit, it captures the particles that impact on the efficiency of the air conditioning system. The Cabin Air Filter reduces the need for cleaning of the air conditioner, which means a substantial saving in long-term maintenance costs.

Checking Your Cabin Air Filter

Genuine Cabin Air Filters

Genuine Cabin Air Filters do a brilliant job of trapping all sorts of airborne particles. Environmental conditions such as driving in heavy traffic, in urban or dusty environments, or on dirt roads may lead to the Filter becoming clogged relatively quickly. A Cabin Air Filter may need changing in as little as 15,000 kilometers.

Ask your Service Advisor if your model is fitted with a Cabin Air Filter. If it is, then it's a simple operation for a Trained Technician to check the filter's condition - because it is located just behind the glove-box. When you have your serviced, make sure you request to have your Cabin Air Filter checked...and breathe easy.

All About Car Element Air Cleaner Filter

Air Filters

The quality of the air your engine breathes is just as important as the quality of air you breathe. Air quality can have a direct impact on your engine's performance and length of life. The combination of fuel and air ignited in the cylinder chamber drives the internal combustion engine of today's modern cars.

Air filter shown

It is vital that any air entering the combustion chamber of your engine is purified and totally free of any dust or contaminants. It is the role of the air filter to trap any foreign matter and provide clean air for smooth performance and engine longevity.

Quality filtering ensures:

  • Clean air intake
  • Smooth Engine Performance
  • Longer engine life
Genuine Air Filter

The quality of an air filter can be best measured by its ability to trap even the tiniest impurities. You can check the condition of your air filter by removing the casing and looking at the filter element. Consider replacing your air filter, if it is:

  • Very dirty
  • Clogged
  • Damaged in any way

Genuine Air Filters

Our air filters are made to the highest levels of quality with triple layer filtering and needle punched elements.

Triple layer filtering

Genuine Air Filters feature a triple-layer filtering element, which ensures that your engine stays free of any dust or contaminants. The element has a series of different gauge meshes - coarse, medium and fine to trap every size particle. Other types of filters may only have one layer.

Needle punched filter

The Genuine Filter Element is needle-punched to allow for a smooth, efficient flow of filtered air to the combustion chamber for clean ignition of fuel. Its dust catching ability is up to 30% higher than a normal after-market type filter. Lesser quality air filters often use poorly constructed seals and filter elements which allow dust and impurities into the engine, causing problems such as poor engine idle, extra fuel consumption and unnecessary engine wear.

When to replace your air filter

A Genuine Air Filter is designed to perform efficiently for the total time between recommended services. If you have your Service Centre service your car, then the air filter will always be cleaned and/or replaced according to the servicing schedule.
