Temby Auto Service (AU06087 ) are the logical choice to carry out all your Automotive Air Conditioning Regas, Repair, Servicing and Inspection needs in Eltham and the surrounding areas. Modern vehicles are highly sophisticated, and just like the engine, a typical car air conditioning system has components that require regular maintenance and occasional replacement to ensure reliable and efficient operation. When refrigerant has started to leak or evaporate your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which in turn means more fuel is being consumed. Therefore it is important to scrutinise the condition of the rubber seals regularly for any signs of leaks or deterioration which may indicate a loss of refrigerant. Problems and Symptoms of a Faulty Car AC: Reduced Cooling Efficiency: If your air conditioning is blowing warm or less cold air, it may indicate a refrigerant leak. Strange Noises: Unusual sounds such as rattling or hissing can be signs of internal issues. Foul Odours: Musty or unusual smells coming from the vents could signal mould or bacteria build-up. Increased Fuel Consumption: A struggling AC system forces your engine to work harder, consuming more fuel. Visible Leaks: Leaking refrigerant or oil around the AC components can lead to system failure. Regularly inspecting the condition of rubber seals for any signs of leaks or deterioration can help detect a loss of refrigerant early. Book Your AC Service Before Summer We strongly recommend booking an air conditioning service before the temperatures rise in summer. A yearly car air conditioning service in Spring, can help prevent costly breakdowns, safeguard passengers from harmful substances, and actually save you money by improving fuel efficiency. Temby Auto Service care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU06087) to reliably and responsibly conduct automotive air conditioning regas, repair, servicing and inspection.

Over the years we’ve seen all manner of clutch problems and have the knowledge, expertise and technical ability to quickly get your clutch repaired and your car back on the road in next to no time. But are there tips on how to reduce wear and avoid an early Clutch Replacement?  Yes there are! Below are four tips from one of our Temby Auto Service mechanics on how to avoid needing a clutch replacement sooner than is necessary:  1. Don't ride the clutch (i.e. don't keep the clutch pedal pressed down slightly whilst you drive). 2. Sit in neutral when stopped for any length of time. 3. Always use the handbrake when parking 4. Change gears quickly (be decisive about which gear you need to change to and don't linger along the way). Doing these things will help your clutch stay in top condition for as long as possible and help you avoid unnecessary car maintenance! As with most things automotive, the best way to maintain the various components of your car is with a regular car service with a reputable mechanic such as the team at Temby Auto Service.

How to Reduce Wear and Avoid an Early Clutch Replacement.

In hot weather, it's good to know what to do if our car overheats. Imagine a typical Aussie summer day. You're on our way back from the beach in bumper to bumper traffic and the needle on your thermostat starts to rise. What do you do? If this happens the first thing to do (unfortunately) is turn off the air-conditioning and open the windows. This will relieve some of the strain on the engine. If this isn't helping then you might need to try turning the heater and fan on. This draws heat away from the engine and into the passenger compartment. It's good for the engine but not so good for the people in the car. If you are in start-stop traffic try putting the car in neutral and revving the engine. This makes the fan and water pump speed up drawing more air and liquid through the radiator when the car is stationary. Lastly, if you're in any doubt that your car is about to boil over ... PULL OVER, or risk serious damage to the engine! Open the hood and let the engine cool down. Warning: do not open the radiator cap or try and fill it with water. firstly, this is dangerous as boiling water and steam could come exploding out of the radiator and cause serious injury. Secondly, adding cool water into the hot radiator could cause radiator and engine damage. The best thing to do is make sure your cooling system is functioning well long before there is a problem. Next time you're at your local mechanic, ask for a check up on the cooling system. A good mechanic will keep on top of this as part of their regular car services. But if you're not in a good rhythm with regular servicing, then it might be as simple as adding a good coolant yourself until you can book your car in with a mechanic you trust. Find out more about coolants here.

Does your car get too hot under the bonnet?

We've all heard of timing belts. We all know they are expensive to replace. But NOT replacing your timing belt in good time is far more expensive. Here is why... What is a timing belt? The timing belt is a rubber band with rubber teeth on it. It winds around the crankshaft and the camshaft ensuring that their rotation is synchronised. To understand the importance of a timing belt you need to know a little about how an engine works. Knowing a little bit can help but don't worry, you don't need to be a mechanic to read on! The intention of the engine is to turn the crankshaft which, via the gears, turns the wheels. Car engines can have between 4-8 cylinders. Within in each cylinder is a piston. Each piston is attached to a connecting rod that is connected to the crankshaft. The cylinders are little pressure chambers. At the top of each cylinder are valves that let air and petrol into the cylinder and exhaust out of it. The valves are opened and closed at different stages in the cycle of the piston's movement. The opening and closing of valves is controlled by the camshaft. Each piston goes through 4 movements in a cycle: In the first movement, the piston draws downward pulling air and fuel into the cylinder. At this stage the valves that let in air and fuel are open. In the second movement, the piston returns upward putting the air and fuel mix under pressure. At this point a spark ignites the pressurised air and fuel mix and creates an explosion forcing the piston down again. In the fourth stage, the piston returns pushing exhaust out of the exhaust valve. At this point the exhaust valve must be open. If the camshaft and the crankshaft are not synced perfectly, can you imagine what might happen? Well the cylinder might not receive a full amount of fuel and air and the exhaust might not properly escape. This would result in a less efficient engine. The car wouldn't go so fast and would use a lot of fuel. But worse than that, the pistons may collide with the valves and break them. This is very expensive to fix. That is why it is very important to change a timing belt before it breaks. Unlike other parts of the car, there are no symptoms to tell you that your timing belt is being worn down or about to break. The service guidelines in your manufacturers log book recommend when its time to replace the timing belt. If you can't find this information or are unsure whether your timing belt needs replacing you can easily contact your local mechanic at Temby Auto Service!
