For issues with an automatic transmission or a manual transmission in the Northgate area of Brisbane it is important to know a great mechanic. Whether your clutch plate, clutch disc or flywheel needs to be replaced, you want to be back on the road fast. Get back into gear when you work with us for all your car care needs.

Finding a good mechanic is about finding someone who is up to date on the latest car care, diagnostic tools and system parts. As a Repco Authorised Service Centre rest assured that our team goes through the highest level of training. From initial education to nationwide workshops to service bulletins we are always in the know. Other benefits of being a part of a large network include:

 Knowing what is causing the vibrations or strange sounds in your car is the first step to solving any clutch issues. If you have experienced any of the following symptoms of clutch failure, call us today. 

Excessive Engine Revving: Clutch slippage can prevent the clutch disc and clutch flywheel to rotate at the same time causing clutch plate damage.

Clutch Vibration: When the clutch is released it should be smooth. If there have been vibrations it could be a sign of damaged disc, damaged flywheel or loose engine mounts.

Noise When Engaging the Clutch Pedal: A loud squeal could indicate that the bearings are damaged.

Car Stalling: If there is an issue switching into neutral after being in gear, up to and including the vehicle stalling, there may be a system with the hydraulic system not allowing for proper disengaging of the clutch.

It is important to understand that manual transmission will wear differently than an automatic transmission. The type of driving, amount of gear changing and length of driving will all affect the life of the clutch and transmission.

Quality Ford Servicing in Northgate

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

1. Engine Warning Light: When you turned on the ignition, you may see an engine warning light on the dashboard lit up. This is a clear sign that something is wrong with the car's EFI system. The engine warning light can come on for a variety of reasons, but when it does, it's best to get your car checked out by a professional local mechanic Northgate Automotive.

3 Symptoms you may notice related to an EFI problem

2. Rough Idling: Before the engine shuts down, you may noticed that the car is idling roughly. The idle speed can fluctuate and the engine can shake more than usual. This is another common symptom of an EFI problem. The EFI system controls the amount of fuel and air that enters the engine and if there's a problem with the system, it can cause the engine to idle roughly.

3. Reduced Power and Acceleration: When you try to accelerate after the rough idling, you may notice that the car had less power than usual. The engine will feel sluggish and take longer to get up to speed. This is yet another sign that the car's EFI system is not functioning properly. The EFI system regulates the fuel injection and air intake, so when it's not working correctly, the car won't perform at its optimal level.

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 Northgate and also serve customers from the surrounding areas.

Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector

How does the ECU detect EFI problems? Plus how we diagnose and fix them

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'

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
