Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Bunbury

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Autotech Bunbury in Bunbury today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Autotech Bunbury in Bunbury we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Autotech Bunbury (AU36994) are the right choice to undertake all your Car Air Conditioning Regas, Servicing, Repair or Inspection needs in Bunbury and the surrounding areas.

Modern cars are complex and just like the engine your vehicle's air conditioner system has components that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

Reduced levels of refrigerant from leaks or evaporation mean your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which in turn means you are using even more fuel.

Therefore it is important that the rubber seals are appraised regularly for any signs of leaks or cracks which may be an indication of refrigerant loss.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced every 12 months means you often help prevent costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced car air conditioner actually saves you money because it results in a reduction of fuel usage.

Autotech Bunbury care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU36994) to reliably and responsibly conduct car air conditioner regas, servicing, repair or inspection.

Car air conditioning service in Bunbury

Autotech Bunbury have the experience, skills and know how to identify, diagnose and solve even complex EFI issues and get your car performing the way it should. So if your fuel economy is not what it should be, or the car is running rough or in "Limp mode" bring it into our Bunbury workshop for an EFI service today.

Electronic Fuel Injection systems (EFI) in modern vehicles consist of a high pressure fuel delivery system controlled by a specialised electronic control unit, or ECU.

As many as thirty or more sensors constantly update the data available to the ECU at any given time. The ECU uses this data to determine the correct mixture of air and fuel the engine requires in order for it to perform most efficiently. This can help reduce fuel costs and minimise exhaust emissions, making regular checks of the EFI system well worth the effort even if there are no apparent problems.

If you are experiencing unusually poor fuel economy, it seems the car ‘runs rough' when idling or has developed a classic backfire there is a very good chance that there could be a problem with your EFI, or Electronic Fuel Injection System.

Another classic sign that your electronic fuel injection may need a service is when the engine runs for a short while after switching off the ignition. An apparent increase in fuel use or noticeable decrease in performance may also be related to an EFI issue.

EFI problems can sometimes be relatively simple, such as contaminated fuel from letting a fuel tank become completely empty or a clogged fuel injector. Sometimes however, the problem lies well hidden, deep within the highly sophisticated EFI System. Our Bunbury car service workshop is equipped with the specialised, advanced diagnostic testing equipment needed to be able to diagnose, service and repair your EFI.

Regular servicing or inspection of your Electronic Fuel Injection System will help your car perform more efficiently and save you money at the pump. That's real Peace of Mind. Given the complex nature of modern fuel injection systems, a qualified mechanic with specialised diagnostic equipment is best placed to service or repair your EFI.

How Autotech Bunbury diagnose & fix EFI problems

Autotech Bunbury use special computer diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is essentially a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out special fault codes which our diagnostic scan equipment is then able to extract and interpret. 

Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem. 

Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly 

Any leaks must be identified and repaired without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components. It goes without saying you don't want fuel leaking out either! 

Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned and on occasion replaced. Where necessary, some components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds. 

Sensors (or the lines connecting them to the ECU) which are faulty or damaged may need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle. Your engines ECU may prevent running of the vehicle until they are functioning correctly or it may trigger the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode'

When your cars electronic control unit (ECU) encounters data which is incorrect (or outside of known value ranges) or which it cannot process, it will set a fault code and initiate some form of warning. When such problems occur in major vehicle systems it can trigger what is known as 'Limp Mode'. As the Fuel system of a car is considered a major system, faulty or failing sensor or lines may trigger this safety function.

Limp Mode is designed to allow you to get a car to a safe location (off the road) and can protect both you and the car from serious problems that could arise from continued 'normal' operation of the vehicle. If you find your car enters limp mode you should pull over immediately and get it checked over by a qualified mechanic asap, even if the computer 'resets' itself. Cars can act quite erratically in Limp Mode.

Autotech Bunbury can help diagnose if the issue is an EFI related problem or if you need to look elsewhere for the cause of the cars behaviour.

EFI Service in Bunbury

As winter sets in, many car owners are confused whether or not they should use their car's air conditioner during the colder months. And while it may seem counter-intuitive, the answer is yes. You should run your car air conditioner in winter, at least occasionally. Here are a few reasons why:﻿

Autotech Bunbury recognise the benefits of using your car's air conditioning unit through winter and offer a special $149 Air Con Service to make sure your AC stays in top condition all year round and enjoy the following immediate benefits;

The primary reason for running the car air conditioner during winter is to defog the windshield. Cold weather creates moisture in the car, leading to condensation that collects on the windshield, reducing visibility. Turning on the AC will remove moisture and improve the visibility by reducing fog

As temperatures drop, people tend to keep their windows closed, leading to a stale and stuffy interior. Turning on the AC circulates air and removes odors, improving the air quality in your car.﻿

Your car's air conditioning system works by compressing and circulating a refrigerant through a series of coils and tubes. When it's not in use, moisture and other debris can accumulate in the unit, leading to corrosion and mold. Turning it on regularly during winter prevents this and prolongs its lifespan.﻿

That being said, running your car's air conditioner during winter does consume extra fuel. So if you are concerned about the cost of running the AC in your car and want to keep the fuel consumption low but still ensure the Air Con is protected, experts recommend running it for about ten minutes every week. This duration is enough to circulate the refrigerant and keep the unit clean without increasing the fuel consumption too significantly.﻿

In conclusion, it is advisable to run your car's air conditioner during winter for the above reasons. Besides, it will also ensure your AC unit is in good condition for summer, allowing for a seamless transition when the temperatures rise. So, go ahead and turn on that air conditioner and enjoy a warm and fog-free ride.

So make sure your AC is running in top condition at a fantastic price. To sweeten the deal even further you can take advantage of Paypal - Pay in 4. Available for purchases between $30 and $2000, Paypal Pay in 4 means you can pay the first $37.25 immediately and spread the rest over three further fortnightly instalments. Ask our staff about Paypal options when booking your vehicle in for a car air conditioning service.

Should you run your car air conditioner in winter

Are you one of those people who believe that the car air conditioner is solely for hot summer days?

Auto Electrical servicing is one of the most important ways of keeping modern cars running efficiently and safely.

Cars have more electrical components in them than ever before and the list just seems to keep increasing. 

In addition to the traditional systems such as starter motors and simple systems like radios, the electrical systems of modern cars now need to cope with many more components. Such things as modern safety systems & controls and a range of electronic devices such as navigation systems and various entertainment devices all rely on your auto electrical system to function correctly.

Autotech Bunbury provide expert auto electrical service in Bunbury

Autotech Bunbury will inspect and test your electrical system to identify anything that is, or could be causing you problems. Our auto electrical services include testing, servicing, refitting and repairing a whole range of electrical components fitted to different types of vehicles including:

Parts of your auto electrical system requiring maintenance

Battery - The battery supplies the power required to start the engine 

Alternator - Maintains the charge in the battery while the car is moving 

Starter motor - uses power from the battery to start the engine 

Solenoid -administers power from the battery to the starter motor 

Voltage Regulator - Ensure the correct voltage level in the system 

Fuse Panel - Provides protection for electrical components in the car 

Connectors and Wires - connect the electrical system and close circuits 

The major components of a modern automotive electrical system tend to be interconnected and when one of these elements fails it will usually affect some, if not all of the other components, often making it difficult to determine exactly what the problem is.

Autotech Bunbury will conduct certain tests to allow us to quickly determine where the problem is and fix it with minimal hassle and inconvenience to you. That's real Peace of Mind. 

Common problems your auto electrical system may encounter

Alternator belt - the alternator recharges your battery by harnessing the power generated by the engine by means of a belt and transferring it to the battery. If the belt breaks, loses tension or comes loose the alternator will no longer be able to maintain the charge in the battery correctly 

Broken or loose wiring - If an important wire comes loose, breaks, wears out or melts you could have a problem using your electrical components or even starting your car. This can be a difficult problem to diagnose 

A flat battery - Flat batteries are a common problem. Accidentally leaving lights or other electrical items on without the engine running is often the cause. If yo can get the car going but after driving around or running the engine for a while, the battery goes flat again it means you have a problem elsewhere. The battery itself may need replacing, the alternator could be faulty, the voltage regulator has a problem or even a combination of these. Bring it in to Autotech Bunbury to get it checked out. 

Normal wear and tear - all of your cars parts are susceptible to wear and tear in some form or another. The cars battery, solenoid and voltage regulator are among the common auto electrical components known to cause problems due to normal wear and tear 

Blown fuses - Fuses in your car are a safety feature designed to protect your electrical components from serious damage from surges and overloads. They are there to protect expensive components. If you continually blow fuses give us a call. 

Car will not start despite having a good battery? The solenoid may not be working correctly.

Common signs that your car's electrical system may need a service

An odd growling or whining noise may indicate a problem with your alternator belt 

Dimming or flickering headlights could mean your voltage regulator is having problems 

Electrical items such as car stereo, lights, air conditioner and so on are just not working could be as simple as a blown fuse, though they may represent a deeper problem 

Hearing a loud clicking noise when turning the ignition key may be linked to a problem with your starter motor 

If there is no sound at all when you turn the key (the car doesn't start) - your solenoid could be at fault, particularly if the battery is known to be working correctly 

Smell of burning rubber or hot wires may be a problem with your alternator. Catching it early may prevent costly diagnosis of problems later so if there is a smell of burning or hot plastic come into our Bunbury workshop for an Auto Electrical check over.
