The main function of coolant is to efficiently and rapidly remove heat from an operating engine, stop corrosion, and keep all hoses and seals durable and pliable during their service life. Growing demands to lift fuel efficiency and lower exhaust emissions have only served to place increased demands on the cooling system. Greater use of more corrosion prone lightweight alloys has become a real problem in poorly maintained cooling systems. High output, small capacity engines generate more heat that must be dissipated over a small area and a coolant in top condition will transfer the heat better by reducing Film Boiling which is characterized by large air bubbles in the liquid, leaving large areas of the cylinder head temporarily dry and unprotected. As the temperature increases, the bubbles collapse and the resultant shock waves impact and erode the surface of the cylinder head. More aerodynamic, low profile engine bays have also increased under bonnet temperatures. That is why its so important that your engine coolant is in top condition with the correct formulated glycol mix to provide maximum heat dissipation and protection against cavitation, crevice and stress corrosion. Coolant should be totally replaced at least every two years as recommended by leading vehicle manufactures. For Cooling System Check & Service You Can Trust!
The brake system of motor vehicles needs to be properly maintained to ensure effective safe braking. Brake fluid plays a vital role in the safety of the system and is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture from the air, degrades the quality and needs to be regularly changed in accordance with the vehicle manufactures recommendations. Many brake problems can be traced to moisture in the hydraulic fluid and will corrode all metal brake components. Signs of moisture in the brake fluid are a noticeable decrease in brake performance and a spongy pedal that quickly goes to the floor as air compresses easier than fluid. As little as 3% moisture can decrease a fluids performance by 30%. Anti Lock brake systems are especially affected by moisture because they cycle as many as 20 times per second under braking. Again a spongy pedal is a sign of moisture in the brake fluid. Depending on temperature fluctuations and humidity brake fluid can absorb as much as 3% moisture in 12 months. So for safer braking regular servicing of brake fluid is essential. For Brake Repairs & Service You Can Trust!
Modern automatic transmissions have become very complex and are designed for maximum fuel economy with low exhaust emissions. Further advancements in technology have produced up to six speed overdrive transmissions that are now common on todays modern fuel efficient motor cars. To ensure a trouble free and economical life, industry authorities recommend more frequent servicing as important preventative maintenance. Most transmission failures are caused by heat and lack of servicing. Heat burns the oil, cooks the seals and causes excessive premature wear on the internal transmission components. Transmission fluid should look clean & red, it should not be dark brown & smell burnt. This would indicate a problem. If your transmission is slipping or not changing smoothly then dont delay, book your next Auto Transmission Service with Abbotts. Regular Auto Transmission Service extends transmission life.
