Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. David's Auto Repairs in Goonellabah are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At David's Auto Repairs in Goonellabah at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!

Maintaining your vehicle's safety and performance is crucial for a smooth and trouble-free driving experience. Regularly conducting basic checks not only helps to extend the lifespan of your car but also ensures the safety of its occupants. Routine maintenance can prevent minor issues from turning into major, costly repairs. Routine Inspections You Can Easily Conduct at Home Tyre Pressure and Condition Proper tyre pressure is vital for safe handling, fuel efficiency, and prolonging the life of your tyres. Use a tyre pressure gauge to check the pressure against the manufacturer's recommended levels, usually found in your vehicle’s manual or on a sticker inside the driver’s door. Additionally, inspect your tyres for uneven wear, cracks, or any foreign objects lodged in the tread. Oil Level and Condition Engine oil is essential for lubricating the engine and preventing wear. To check the oil level, park your car on a level surface, let the engine cool, and use the dipstick to ensure the oil is within the recommended range. Pay attention to the oil's colour and consistency; it should be amber and smooth. If it's dark and gritty, it might be time for an oil change. Lights and Signals Functional lights and signals are crucial for visibility and communication with other drivers. Inspect all exterior lights, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals. Replace any burnt-out bulbs promptly. Clean the light covers to ensure maximum brightness. Windshield Wipers and Washer Fluid Effective windshield wipers are key for clear visibility in adverse weather conditions. Check the wiper blades for cracks or splits and ensure they make proper contact with the windshield. Additionally, top up the windshield washer fluid reservoir and verify that the spray nozzles are functioning correctly. Battery Health A well-maintained battery is essential for reliable vehicle operation. Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure they are securely connected. If your battery is more than three years old, consider having it tested, as its efficiency can decline over time. Brake System While a thorough brake inspection requires a professional, you can perform a basic check by listening for unusual sounds when braking, such as squealing or grinding. Also, feel for any vibrations or softness in the brake pedal, which may indicate the need for further inspection. Fluid Levels In addition to engine oil and washer fluid, regularly check the levels of other vital fluids, including coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Low levels can affect your vehicle's performance and lead to potential damage. Signs Your Vehicle Needs Professional Inspection Despite regular home checks, some issues require the expertise of a qualified mechanic. Here are some warning signs indicating that it’s time to schedule a professional inspection: Unusual Noises: Strange sounds, such as knocking, squealing, or grinding, can indicate underlying issues with your vehicle. These noises might originate from the engine, brakes, or suspension and should not be ignored. Unpleasant Smells: If you notice burning, sweet, or musty odors coming from your vehicle, it could signify a problem. For example, a burning smell might indicate overheating or an oil leak, while a sweet scent could point to a coolant leak. Dashboard Warning Lights: Modern vehicles are equipped with sensors that trigger warning lights on the dashboard when there’s a problem. If you see a check engine light, oil pressure light, or any other warning indicator, it’s essential to have your vehicle inspected by a professional. Decreased Performance: A noticeable drop in your vehicle's performance, such as reduced acceleration, poor fuel efficiency, or difficulty starting, can signal mechanical issues that need attention. Fluid Leaks: Any visible fluid leaks under your vehicle should be addressed promptly. Different fluids have distinct colors and textures, and identifying the type of leak can help determine the issue. Common leaks include oil, coolant, transmission fluid, and brake fluid. David's Auto Repairs can maintain your vehicle Routine inspections and timely maintenance are fundamental to keeping your vehicle safe and performing optimally. While you can handle many checks at home, it's crucial to recognise when professional expertise is needed to address more complex issues. Specialising in maintaining vehicle safety and performance, David's Auto Repairs ensures that your car receives the highest quality care. Whether you need routine maintenance or a thorough inspection, our experienced mechanics are dedicated to keeping your vehicle in top condition.
