It is recommended by most vehicle manufacturers that your brake fluid be completely flushed at a minimum of every two years to prevent brake system failure.
While a brake fluid flush is done as part of a log book service if it is part of the manufacturers recommendations – sometimes we might advise you need one outside of the recommended schedule if we feel it’s necessary for your safety and we are always happy to discuss the reasons for our recommendations with you.
It is recommended that coolant is changed at the recommended intervals to ensure the cooling system is operating at optimum efficiency.
While some coolants are compatible with others, changing the chemical balance in the cooling system can affect coolant performance, therefore mixing different types of coolant is not recommended.
Fluid maintenance is key in keeping a VW /Audi DSG transmission operating as designed. Volkswagen recommends a 60,000 fluid service interval for most DSG transmissions, but recommends a more frequent service interval if the vehicle is used for severe-duty or towing applications. Check the service information for the correct interval.
Most DSG transmissions have a cartridge filter on top of the transmission. Unfortunately, it is under the battery and/or air filter housing. We replace the filter before you drain the transmission. The housing contains the most contaminated fluid. Draining the filter housing causes this fluid to go back into the case.
Sprayed directly into the intake using the BG PlatinumTM Fuel Service Supply Tool, it restores fuel efficiency and engine performance, and reduces harmful exhaust emissions.
Benefits of using BG261:
BG Frigi-Fresh® will safely and effectively eliminate foul, musty odours from A/C systems. Automobile air conditioners remove moisture from the air. This moisture can combine with airborne debris and settle in the system evaporator, leading to growth of mold spores and fungi. This, in turn, leads to smelly air blown into the vehicle. These contaminants can potentially cause allergic reactions in vehicle owners.
Benefits of using BG Frigi-Fresh®:
BG Diesel ISC® Induction System Cleaner powers through oil deposits and unburned fuel left behind by the exhaust system.
Diesel engines equipped with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) are infamous for fuel residues and carbon deposits that plug up the EGR valve and the intake manifold. Both of these issues severely restrict air flow and decrease fuel economy and overall performance.
A primary part of the BG Diesel Induction Service, BG Diesel ISC® Induction System Cleaner is specially formulated to liquefy and remove tough oil deposits and unburned fuel residues formed by the EGR and PCV as the gases pass through the air intake and intake valves. Once these deposits are cleaned away, they are burned in the normal combustion process.
When your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is blocked your vehicles exhaust is restricted.
This could be caused by:
Diesel particulate filters are expensive to replace usually costing many thousands of dollars.
Before you send in your DPF unit for cleaning it is very important to diagnose and rectify the root cause of the blockage from the above list otherwise it will block again in a short period of time.
At Caressive Auto Haus we will inspect and if it is not damaged, clean your DPF filter and restore it to almost new capacity saving you thousands of dollars on a replacement unit.
Why is changing windscreen wiper blades important?
It is imperative to have a clear and unimpeded view when driving which is why it’s important to maintain and replace your wipers regularly. As windscreen wipers are continually exposed to heat, frost, dirt, insects and other airborne objects, the blades deteriorate over time and lose their effectiveness. As a high percentage of driving decisions are made based on what a driver can see, if visibility is impaired, driving can become more dangerous if the wiper system is not operating correctly.
Manufacturers recommend that your car should have an air conditioning service every two years. This is sometimes called a car air con regas.
This means evacuating the refrigerant gas and replacing the lubricating oil, as well as carrying out a system leak test.
Air con maintenance will save you money in the long run and guarantee you comfort in the hottest months.
