✅⚠️The importance of maintenance

That annoying light that comes on every so often, service required in so many miles, tends to get ignored and here’s the reason it shouldn’t. An oil filter is exactly that, a filter that needs to be changed in order to prevent engine damage and other issues that can be avoided, keeping those big bills down.

At bare minimum we would advise oil and filter is changed at least once a year. 📅

Below shows a few images of ones we have seen lately that have gone on to cause rattling engines, turbo failure and wet belts degrading sooner than they should. We are partnered with Comma Oil UK to ensure the approved correct specification of oil is used and we use Mahle oil filters which are OE 🛢️🚘

🧑🏻‍🔧🧰With the complexity of vehicles and repairs these days, the jargon that comes with the motor trade, we thought we’d post some examples of faults and repairs to help support our customers.

🚘Something we are seeing a lot of lately is vehicles with faults caused by carbon build up, which can be caused by short journeys meaning the engine isn’t reaching operating temperature, excessive idling or low quality fuel, amongst other things.

‼️⚠️Some symptoms you might have; that dreaded engine management light on the dash, rough idling, slight misfires, incorrect air mass readings and exhaust gas recirculation flow faults.

🛠️In order to get these vehicles running as they should be, we carry out walnut blasting which is a service carried out to remove excessive carbon build up from intake valves and intake ports. What is walnut blasting you ask, Well it is simply that, it consists of using walnut shells that are pressurised with a machine to clean engine parts without damage, inlet manifolds and exhaust gas recirculation systems benefit massively from this to ensure correct air flow is restored to the vehicle. See below a before, during and after of a job carried out recently.

Before: heavy carbon build up on inlet ports ⛔️
During: Walnut cleaning in action ☢️
After: inlet ports all clean, the vehicle can breath ✅
