Summer is fast approaching, and with it comes the blistering heat. As you gear up for another scorching season, it is essential to make sure your car is prepared to keep you comfortable on the road. One of the critical aspects of your vehicle to check and maintain is the cooling system. But what is it, and how does it work?

The cooling system is an integral part of your car, responsible for regulating the engine temperature. It does this by circulating coolant, a mixture of water and antifreeze, through the engine to absorb the heat produced during combustion. The hot liquid then flows to the radiator, where it is cooled down by the airflow created by driving or by the cooling fan. The now cold coolant returns to the engine, and the cycle continues. It's a simple yet incredibly crucial process.

Without the cooling system, your engine would quickly overheat and cause severe damage, leading to costly repairs or even engine replacement. This is why it's imperative to maintain and service your car's cooling system regularly.

Regular cooling system servicing helps to identify and fix potential problems before they escalate into significant issues. A certified technician will inspect and test the system, replacing worn-out parts, flushing out old coolant, and checking for leaks. They may also clean or replace the radiator and refill the coolant levels to the manufacturer's recommended standards. Servicing your cooling system keeps your car running efficiently, preventing overheating, and prolonging the lifespan of your vehicle.

When it comes to all things cooling systems, Blenks Automotive & Performance is the specialist to trust.

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 Blenks Automotive & Performance, your trusted local mechanic in Murray Bridge.

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 Blenks Automotive & Performance in Murray Bridge 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 Blenks Automotive & Performance today.

At Blenks Automotive & Performance in  Murray Bridge 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 Blenks Automotive & Performance 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.
