Your vehicle is equipped with several different filters, each designed to function within a specific system in your car. At Kiwi French Automotive, we understand these systems thoroughly and provide expert servicing in Slacks Creek and the surrounding areas.

Put simply, filters work to trap particles that could cause damage or don’t belong in the system they’re protecting. However, all filters have a limited lifespan – once they become clogged with the particles they’re designed to capture, they must be replaced. Failing to replace filters when needed can lead to costly damage in critical parts of your vehicle.

Oil Filter: Ensures the engine oil remains clean and flows efficiently through the engine, preventing wear and tear.
Air Filter: Blocks dirt, debris, and particles from entering the engine that could harm cylinders, pistons and other internal components.
Cabin Air Filter: Protects the car’s ventilation system by filtering out pollen, dust, and bacteria, ensuring clean air inside the vehicle.
Fuel Filter: Prevents contaminants from reaching the carburettor or fuel injectors, helping maintain proper fuel flow and performance.
Transmission Filter: Found in vehicles with automatic transmissions, it removes debris and metal shavings from transmission fluid to protect the gearbox.  

Did you know that a clean engine air filter can improve fuel efficiency by up to 10% in some vehicles? Ensuring all filters are in good condition not only safeguards your car’s systems but can also enhance its overall performance.  

At Kiwi French Automotive, we offer a comprehensive 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report with every full car service, available upon request. This includes checking your car’s filters to help you avoid costly repairs and keep your vehicle running smoothly.

New Car Log book Service in Slacks Creek

Engine oil sludge occurs when the oil in your engine breaks down and sticks to the engine parts, causing serious damage over time. It is particularly problematic for cars manufactured between 1997 and 2003.

Bring your car into our workshop in Slacks Creek and we will take care of all your servicing and repairs including engine oil sludge removal if it is required. We have a great reputation, many returning customers and are backed by the Repco Nationwide Warranty for your peace of mind.

 Government pressure to make cars more efficient lead to manufacturers increasing the combustion temperature in engines. This did lead to greater efficiency but it also resulted in oil breaking down more quickly and turning into nasty sludge more readily. 

 To prevent oil sludge build up you should make sure you get regular oil changes in line with the recommendations in your vehicle's log book. Your oil lubricates the engine and carries away contaminants so it's important that it is kept fresh. Regular log book servicing helps prevent oil sludge forming and gives your mechanic a chance to check the condition of the oil and give you a heads up if there is any problems.

Carbon clean services help to flush out the build-up of carbon from the engine. This service cleans out everything from the catalytic converter to the engine block. The service can be performed by mixing the fuel with an additive which will work it's way through the engine and clean the parts or, the engine is taken apart and the individual parts are run through an ultrasonic bath. When the parts have been cleaned, dried and are examined for any cracks or wear and tear, then you are ready to fill up and get back on the road at peak performance.

Specific issues which too much carbon can create includes:

Build-up in the fuel injectors resulting in an improper atomisation of fuel and loss of fuel efficiency.

Failure to pass emissions because of a build-up of unburned fuel and other residue in the catalytic converter.

Vehicle will not start because of a build-up of carbon on the spark plugs.

There can be a shaking in the engine because of a misfire and not all the combustion cylinders igniting.
