If you've visited our local shopping centre lately, you may have noticed some odd kind of car parks close to the entrance of the shops.

They look like something from 'Back to the Future II'. As it turns out, the odd looking car parks are not futuristic at all. Or we might have finally moved into the future as they are actually "Electric Vehicle" charging stations!

Are electric cars becoming more popular in Australia? Not according to 'Cars Guide' who have announced that sales of electric cars in Australia are very low. Does Westfield know something we don't know? (Westfield is one of the shopping centres now sporting these "Electric Car" charging stations.)

However, if they're popping up at shopping centres, our mechanics thought we should give our readers a heads up on the pros and cons of electric cars as it looks like the future is here, right here in our very own Melbourne, Australia! 

There is no disputing that electric cars are overall better for the environment than petrol cars. Even though electric cars create more carbon emissions during the manufacturing stage than a petrol car, by the end of its life an electric car will have created less than half the emissions of the petrol car.

This figure takes into account the emissions created to generate the electricity. Currently, 80% of Australia's electricity is generated from fossil fuel. When electricity is generated in greener ways then electric cars will only get cleaner and cleaner.

New electric cars in Australia can start from around $40k-$60k compared to an entry-level petrol car of around $15k - $20k

How long will an electric car last? The life of an electric car is tied to the life of the battery.

Currently, there is not much information on this as they are still so new. One driver reported his car battery no longer held a charge at 373,131 kms. Australian drivers drive an average of 15,530 kms per year so you could assume electric cars might last for about 24 years. One might think, "easy, just replace the battery right?" No, not so easy. Currently, electric car batteries can cost close to $20k.

Electric cars are far cheaper to run. Average price for electricity in Australia is about $0.25 per kilowatt. An electric car takes about 18 kW-h to travel 100 kms so this is $4.50. The average petrol car uses 11.1 litres of fuel to travel 100 kms. Calculated at $1.5 per litre this is a cost of $16.65.

If Australians drive 372,730 kms over 24 years (and if the price of electricity doesn't change) the cost of recharging the electric car could be around $16,780.00. In comparison, over the same period of time, the cost of fueling a petrol car (assuming the cost of fuel doesn't change) would be $62,059.

Electric cars do seem like a good idea. The cost of buying them seems to be compensated by the cost of running them and they contribute to clean air and environmental sustainability.

Most importantly, we can now get an easy and very convenient parking spot at Westfield... ;-)

Automotive Service and Repairs in Eltham

Do you have trouble starting your car in the morning or does it idle roughly?

Does the engine misfire, surge or hesitate? Do you have high fuel consumption yet a lack of acceleration? If so, you might need to replace a spark plug.

A spark plug transmits an electrical signal to create a spark that ignites the air fuel mixture inside the combustion engine. The electrical signal is sent through an ignition coil to reach the combustion chamber at the exact right moment. If this signal doesn't happen or is mistimed it can cause ineffective engine function.

Each car requires a specific spark plug determined by the manufacturer. So, how do you know what spark plug your car requires?

The first step is to find your Owner's Manual and look for the car's specifications sheet. You will need to know the make, model and year of manufacture of your car. You will also need to know the number of cylinders and the engine type.

It's also helpful to know the engine displacement (how much room there is in each cylinder when the piston is at its lowest point) and the kind of fuel system your car has (whether it is a fuel injected system or not). you might also find information on the size of spark plug gap and the part number for the spark plug that is designed for your vehicle.

Then, you need to take all that information to a spare part supplier to help you find the correct spark plug. When you have found the correct spark plug it is time to install it.

Before you install the new spark plug you will need to clean the spark plug hole with a lint free cloth.

Then you will need to perform the following steps:

Lightly coat the threads of the spark plug with some oil from the oil dipstick;

Carefully thread the spark plug into the engine turning clockwise;

Slip the spark plug socket over the spark plug and tighten with a ratchet;

Connect the cable by slipping the boot over the socket.

It's a good idea to check that the cable is intact and clean and that there is no fraying or oil on it.

Good luck! Of course, if all this sounds too confusing or in any way intimidating for you, simply bring your car into Temby Auto Service and let us do it for you. Easy!

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.

Temby Auto Service Car Air Conditioning Auto Facts

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.

Problems and Symptoms of a Faulty Car AC:

Regularly inspecting the condition of rubber seals for any signs of leaks or deterioration can help detect a loss of refrigerant early.

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.

Have you ever gotten into your car only to realise the lights were on overnight and now the battery is flat. do not fear... it's easier to jumpstart a car than you might think.

First you need a set of jumper cables. Then you need to find someone with a car who is willing to help. Make sure your valiant rescuer has a battery that is the same voltage as your battery.

Once you have these 2 things, follow the next 10 steps.
  

1.  Ask your rescuer to bring their car bonnet close to your car bonnet making sure that the cars are not touching.

2.  Ensure both cars are in neutral, both have the parking brakes on, but the car lights, radio and air-conditioning off. Open both bonnets and locate the batteries.

3.  You will notice 2 terminals on each battery. One might be red and/or have a "+" sign or "POS" written on it. The other might be black and/or have a "-" sign or "NEG" written on it.

4.  Firstly lift the red terminal protector and clamp red clip to the red/positive terminal of the flat battery.

5.  Then attach the other red clip to the red or positive terminal on the charged battery.

6.  Locate the terminal on the charged battery that is either black or has a "-" sign or "NEG" written on it. Lift the terminal cover and clamp one black clamp on the negative terminal.

7.  With the other black clamp, find an unpainted metal part of the engine in the car with the flat battery to act as an earth (possibly one of the metal struts that holds the bonnet open, a bolt in the engine or a clear metal part in the engine). The clamps will almost certainly damage painted areas of the vehicle, so choose wisely.

8.  Now start the car with the charged battery. After it has run for a few minutes try and start your car.

9.  If your car starts, KEEP IT RUNNING as you safely disconnect the jumper cables, close your bonnet and thank the hero that helped you.

10.  Now DRIVE for at least 15 minutes to ensure your battery has charge in it. Once you have driven for at least 15 minutes you can turn off your car. The longer you drive the car the more time the alternator has to replenish the charge in your battery.

If jump starting your car doesn't work, your battery may be beyond help and a call to your mechanic might be in order.

If a battery regularly goes flat or there is no good reason for it being flat (leaving lights on overnight for example) there may be a problem with the alternator (not charging the battery) or the battery itself may be beyond it's lifespan and no longer holding a charge. Good luck!

Have you ever gotten into your car only to realise the lights were on overnight and now the battery is flat. Do not fear ... it's easier to jumpstart a car than you might think...

Learn how to jump start your car

When your battery dies it might seem like your car is experiencing highly complicated problems and can make you feel alarmed. However, once the issue has been diagnosed, jump starting your car or buying a new battery are relatively easy and cheap procedures.

Here are 4 clear signs that indicate your battery is either dead or on its way out

1. Engine makes a noise but doesn't start

If your engine makes that horrible whining sound when you turn the key, but does not actually start, it is possible your battery is on its way out. If this is the case you may need to use jumper cables to get your car on the road again. It's important once you jump start your car that you let the engine run for at least 30 minutes to allow the alternator to fully charge the battery. This should give the battery enough juice to allow the car to run for a few days whilst you hunt for a new battery.

NOTE: Alternators are used in modern cars to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running.

This is a super easy problem to diagnose. The battery powers all the lights and accessories in our car, so if all of the lights aren't working at once, then your car battery is a likely kaput.

NOTE: If your car doesn't even have the juice to turn on the lights or the engine there may also be additional car maintenance issues like a problem with the alternator.

An early sign that a car battery is running out of charge is when you regularly need to put extra energy into starting your vehicle each day. It's that moment when we get in the car, tap the accelerator pedal a few times but the engine still seems quite weak - and then suddenly, it starts up and finally maintains idle. If this is happening, your car battery may be getting too old and may need to be replaced.

NOTE: If it is very cold outside, it's quite normal for your vehicle to take a little longer to start up and may not necessarily mean you are having battery issues. Gas is harder to vaporise when it is cold and batteries produce less power in cold conditions.

If you have had to jump start your car more than three times in a week, it's time to replace the battery and/or have the alternator checked (as it may not be recharging the battery effectively).

NOTE: Even a new battery can get old really quick if you have had to jump start your car more than three times in a week. Jump starting your car is literally like shocking the battery back to life and can be pretty tough on it.

Provided there are no glitches, your battery should last two to three years.

Is my car battery on the way out or dead?

How do you know when your car battery is dead?

A client came in with his BMW which wouldn’t start. We have checked the computer system and all the wiring. 

It keeps blowing a Fuse #17 and drawing out a big 60AMPS which is too much current through tiny wires resulting in that blown fuse. The fuse box has been removed and thoroughly investigated. There are about 10 different circuits running off Fuse #17. 

We have systematically isolated each individual circuit and are now down to 1 culprit and found melted wiring behind the instrument cluster. Now to make the repair and have this vehicle back on the road as soon as possible.

Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspections with Temby Auto Service

Seeing lights? Interpreting the lights on our dashboard could save your live and helps prolong the life of your car.

In short, dashboard lights warn us of problems and tell you what actions you need to take. The warning could be about a simple action like "release the handbrake"; or it could be highlighting a serious fault in the car.

Most cars will come with an owner's manual that will outline particular warning lights for the make and model you are driving. It is important to keep this manual handy at all times (for example, in the glovebox). But there are some common warning lights that you should know how to respond to as soon as they come on.

Oil warning light - This could look like an oil container or have the word "oil". This could mean the oil level is low and that it is time to fill it up again. You can normally fill up your oil yourself, but it's worth considering whether it's time to get a complete oil change. It's easy to check the oil yourself to see if it needs changing, but if our car is due for a service, a good mechanic will always include it in the car service itself.

Coolant warning light - This light typically looks like a thermometer. If this light comes on it could mean that your radiator is running low on coolant. You can fix this yourself by putting coolant or distilled water into the radiator. However, make sure you do not open the radiator cap while the car is still hot. Hot water and steam could explode out of the radiator and cause serious injury.

Electrical fault light - This usually indicates that the battery is not being properly recharged. There could be many reasons for that but one of the most common is that the alternator is not working properly. This means there is only a matter of time until the battery dies. To prolong the battery's life, try not to run unnecessary features like the radio or air-conditioning. In this event, you may need the assistance of a mechanic as soon as possible.

Service engine -This may be the words "service engine" or the image of a spanner. This means the car is due for its next service. It may have calculated the kilometers or the date since the last service or it may have a system of detecting reduced performance of the car. whatever the case, its probably time to call Temby Auto Service for a service.

Check engine - This is always the most concerning light, because there are a number of things that could cause this light to go on. Firstly, check if the fuel cap is on properly. If it is and the light still shines, then it is time to call Temby Auto Service, who can run a full engine diagnostic with a little machine called an OBD2. This machine reads the fault codes in the car's computer so the mechanic can determine what the fault is.

Even though these lights might be delivering bad news, it's far better than being surprised with a sudden breakdown and being stranded.

It is important to keep owner's manual handy at all times (for example, in the glovebox). But there are some common warning lights that we should know how to respond to as soon as they come on...
