Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Schulz Automotive in Temora know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Schulz Automotive in Temora we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Schulz Automotive today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Temora workshop.

Getting ready for a road trip is an exciting adventure. As you plan your route and pack your essentials, it's equally important to make sure your vehicle is in optimal condition for the journey ahead. A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring you have a smooth and enjoyable trip. Before you hit the road, there are a few key maintenance tasks to address to ensure your car is ready for the km's ahead. What to check Taking some time to check your car can prevent unexpected breakdowns and keep you safe while traveling. Regular maintenance is crucial, but even if your vehicle is up to date on service, a pre-trip check up is always a good idea. Let's look at some vital areas to inspect before you set off on your adventure. Tyres: Check the tyre pressure to ensure it's at the recommended level. Inspect the tread depth for wear and tear, and don't forget to examine the spare tyre as well. Properly inflated and maintained tyres improve fuel efficiency and handling, which are critical for long drives. Fluids: Make sure all essential fluids are topped up. This includes engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Look for any leaks under the vehicle that might indicate a problem. Having the right fluid levels will help your car run smoothly and efficiently. Battery: Examine the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure the connections are secure. Consider having the battery tested, especially if it's more than a few years old. A healthy battery is key to avoiding unexpected issues on the road. Lights and signals: Check all exterior and interior lights to make sure they are functioning correctly. This includes headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights. Proper lighting ensures you can see and be seen, which is vital for safety. Wipers and windscreen: Inspect your windshield for any cracks or chips and have them repaired if needed. Ensure your windshield wipers are in good condition and replace them if they leave streaks. Don't forget to fill up the windshield washer fluid, as clean visibility is essential during your journey. Taking the time to go through this checklist will enhance your travel experience and give you peace of mind as you explore new destinations.

Road Trip Prep: Key Car Maintenance Tips

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.
