Fuel Injection Cleaner

Fuel Injector Cleaner

Deposits can build up on fuel injectors over time that can cause issues such as reduced engine power, poor fuel economy and increased emissions. Fuel Injector Cleaner can rapidly penetrate these deposits, breaking them down so they can be dissolved into the fuel and burnt as part of the combustion process. This can restore your engine to its new car performance.

Injector Cleaner

• To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended that Injector Cleaner be used once every 2 years or 40,000kms or may be used as required to help restore engine performance.
• Injector Cleaners are available for both petrol and diesel engines.
• You can find out specific details for your in the additional service requirements in your Service & Warranty logbook.

Engine Oil

Engine Oil

Changing your engine oil and filter regularly is one of the most important procedures you can do to extend the life and performance of your vechile. If you do a lot of stop/start driving, drive in dusty, dirty conditions or do a lot of towing you should change your engine oil more frequently (either by time or distance, as recommended in your service handbook). Always ensure that your oil filter is changed every time your engine oil is.

Oils And Lubricants

• Motor Oils have been specifically formulated  to suit the diverse driving conditions your vechile may encounter.
• The engine oil provides complete engine protection against starting friction, heat stress and engine sludging for better performance and maximum engine life.

Automotive Drive Belts

Drive Belts

In order to operate, your car engine relies on many other 'helping hands' around it. These include the cooling fan, water pump, power steering pump, alternator, and air conditioning compressor. All must work in perfect harmony to provide electrical charge, cooling, and other energies for safe, comfortable driving. All of these components rely on one piece of equipment, the drive belt, to perform their many mechanical tasks. Drive belts quite literally keep the many wheels of the engine turning.

Drive Belt diagram

Drive Belts will last 60,000 to 100,000km with normal use, but this can vary greatly due to harsh operating conditions. Signs and effects of a worn out drive belt:

• A worn out belt may slip and become noisy
• Reduced cooling efficiency
• Improper battery charging
• Problems with the power steering or air conditioning
• Any visible damage to the belt

Drive Belt

Drive Belts

The role of a drive belt is to keep the many auxiliary components attached to your engine, turning. 

Individual Models Drive Belts are specifically designed for each individual model for perfect fit and tension between the various components they must drive. Many non-genuine drive belts are 'one size fits all' designs that can either be too loose, or too tight - either way, they can dramatically reduce the performance of relevant equipment.

• High Quality Materials With a rubber coated bottom layer to prevent cracking to heat-resistant tensioning members, Genuine Drive Belts are multi-layered for maximum longevity and performance.

Drive Belt Types

There are several different types of drive belts available - each performs an individual role according to the equipment it drives and engine type. These variations are:

• Raw Edge BeltsIn plain, multi-ply and cogged configurations for passenger cars, trucks and buses including diesels.
• V-Ribbed BeltsThese are thinner and more efficient in transferring power, and are used in small and high performance engines.

Drive Belts will always be inspected for wear and/or replaced according to the servicing schedule.

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

a

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.
