Suspension System Inspections Servicing and Repairs

Log book servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance. Regular inspections keep your vehicle running smoothly prevent small problems from turning into major issues, which could otherwise be very costly to repair. Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Graeme East Motors can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book. The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance. You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been. What's included? Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book. Here are some examples of what can be included: Change Oil Check Coolant Check Car Battery Check Transmission Fluid Check Brake Fluid Check the Condition of the Air Filter Check Power Steering Fluid Check Spark Plugs Check Turn Signals Check Brake Lights Check Heating System Brake Check Belt Check Hose Check Tyre Rotation Coolant Sensor  For a qualified Log Book Service at a competitive price, contact us at Graeme East Motors or book online.

The Importance of Power Steering: Why It’s Essential 

Used in internal combustion engines, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is a nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions reduction technique which is used in both petrol and diesel engines. EGR recirculates a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders, diluting the oxygen in the incoming airstream and reducing peak in-cylinder temperatures. Why get a carbon clean? Since 1999 most cars in built in Australia will have an EGR system of some kind. If your vehicle is fitted with an EGR system there is something you should know. Carbon buildup in EGR Valves and the Intake Manifold could be choking your engine. This can happen to both petrol and diesel engines but turbo and diesel engines tend to be more susceptable to the problem, especially where a PCV system is used. Graeme East Motors have the skills and equipment to give your engine a full carbon clean to help ensure a correct fuel mix, improve efficiency and fuel economy and generally protect the engine. What is EGR? Fitted to modern common rail diesel engines in order to meet Australian Design Rules (ADR's), the EGR system is a form of emission control designed to reduce emissions of harmful NOx gases into the environment. What does EGR do? NOx (or Nitrogen Oxide) is produced by an engine during the combustion cycle and is considered harmful to the environment. The EGR recirculates some of this NOx back through to the intake side of the engine to help maintain lower combustion chamber temperatures, minimising the amount of NOx emmitted. What is a PCV valve? As gases from the combustion cycle escape past the Piston Rings (called blow-by gases), they become trapped inside the crankcase, causing pressure to build up, promoting the builld up of sludge and shortening the life of the oil. This pressure must be relieved and this objective is achieved via a process known as Positive Crankcase Ventilation through the PCV Valve. While necessary to avoid damage to seals and eventually the engine, this process also releases small amounts of engine oil back into the intake at the same time. What causes carbon buildup? When the oil allowed through by a PCV Valve, turbocharger shaft or air compressor meets the recirculated NOx Gases within the Intake Manifold it becomes a problem. When mixed, a build-up of sticky Carbon deposits is created, slowly solidifying over time and effectively choking the system. EGR valves are also affected by carbon buildup. What are the effects of carbon buildup? Over time this build-up restricts air flow to the point where efficiency of the engine becomes impacted and fuel economy suffers. In very serious cases it could even end up with damaged seals and the engine needing to be replaced. Book EGR Carbon Clean Online or speak with the professionals at Graeme East Motors
