What happens in a cooling system service?

When you bring your car in to Active Motor Repairs in Craigieburn, our mechanics will inspect your car and provide the optimum service to get your car fixed and functioning. At Active Motor Repairs you can get your radiators fixed and organise any Cooling System Services, including:

Under normal working conditions, your car engine can develop high operating temperatures, not to mention the additional impact from external heat of the environment. Your car's cooling system is a special arrangement of many different parts working to keep the high energy developed in engine and resulting high heat from causing overheating of your vehicle. The most essential cooling system parts are: 

Radiator: conducts heat out of coolant liquid and away from engine 

Radiator cap: pressurised cap increases the boiling point of coolant liquid 

Antifreeze: additive added in coolant to change freezing and boiling point 

Thermostat: measures temperature of liquids leaving the engine

To prevent your vehicle from overheating and potentially malfunctioning, book a visit to your local Repco Authorised Service mechanics Active Motor Repairs in Craigieburn!

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Craigieburn

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at Active Motor Repairs, your trusted local mechanic in Craigieburn.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre Active Motor Repairs in Craigieburn is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at Active Motor Repairs today.

At Active Motor Repairs in  Craigieburn we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At Active Motor Repairs we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.
