Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to A1 Precision Automotive  in Katoomba today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At A1 Precision Automotive  in Katoomba we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is designed to rapidly deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly, at peak performance and using the minimum amount of fuel.

Symptoms of an EFI problem include the smell of fuel in the car, idling roughly, problems with starting and frequent stalling.

If you suspect you have a problem, bring your vehicle in for a no obligation inspection before it gets any worse. We are located in Katoomba and also serve customers from the surrounding areas.

Exceptional Care: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service network of mechanics we have all the latest diagnostic training and technical equipment to keep your cars EFI system running at optimal performance

Peace of Mind: We offer the peace of mind which comes from the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty,

Education: Not only do our mechanics have access to a vast library of diagnostic information and service bulletins, but they are always available if required to help our clients learn more about what is going on with their car

Our various EFI services include items such as;

Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector

What are EFI problems and about how we diagnose and fix problems with your EFI;

We use special computer Diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is basically a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out a special fault code which our diagnostic scan equipment is able to extract and interpret.

Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem.

Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly

Any leaks must be located and fixed without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components and quite obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere!

Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned or replaced. Where necessary components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds.

If any sensors or the lines connecting them to the ECU are damaged they'll need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle so your ECU will usually not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed and it will often send the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode'

Today's vehicles are becoming increasingly complex, and like the engine, the air conditioning system also requires regular servicing and replacement of its components to ensure its reliable and efficient operation.

When refrigerant is lost through evaporation or leakage, your air con system will begin to deteriorate and work harder, ultimately leading to increased fuel consumption.

Therefore, it is vital to perform regular evaluations of the condition of the rubber seals to detect any signs of leaks or wear, which could indicate refrigerant loss. 

By having your car's air conditioning serviced annually, you can prevent costly breakdowns, keep passengers safe by preventing harmful substances from accumulating, and, most importantly, save money on fuel costs.

At A1 Precision Automotive , we take environmental responsibility seriously and  and have Arctick Authorisation (AU33979) to conduct vehicle air conditioning regas, repairs, servicing, and inspections.
