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.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Terry's Automotive Services in Caringbah are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At Terry's Automotive Services in Caringbah at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!

When it comes to keeping your vehicle running smoothly, the cooling system plays a starring role. This unsung hero works diligently under the hood, ensuring your engine doesn't overheat, which could lead to costly damage. But how does it actually work?  What is a cooling system in your car? The cooling system in your vehicle is a bit like a well-oiled (or should we say well-cooled) machine. Its primary job is to regulate the temperature of your engine by circulating a mixture of water and antifreeze through a network of hoses and components. This delightful concoction absorbs the heat from the engine and dissipates it through the radiator. It’s a harmonious symphony of parts working together to keep your engine's temperature in check. However, even the best systems need a little TLC to stay in tip-top shape. That's why regular checks performed by professional mechanics are essential. A trained eye can spot potential issues before they become major problems, saving you time, money, and a whole lot of stress. So, how do you know if your cooling system is having a bad day? Here are some telltale signs to watch out for: Rising Temperature Gauge: If the temperature gauge is creeping up beyond the normal range, it's a sign something might be amiss. Leaking Coolant: Puddles of coolant under your car are a red flag. Strange Noises: Unusual sounds like hissing or knocking could indicate a problem. Steam from the Hood: This dramatic display means your engine is too hot and needs immediate attention. Sweet Smell: A sugary scent coming from the engine could signal a coolant leak.
