Winter weather can take a toll on your car, especially when the wet and cold conditions arrive. To ensure your vehicle stays safe and reliable throughout the season, it’s essential to carry out some key checks and consider a professional service. At BWS Automotive, we’re here to help keep your car in top condition during the winter months. Here are some important checks to carry out before the wet weather begins:  Check your tyres: Inspect tyre tread depth to ensure it meets the legal requirement (at least 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre) and check for any damage or uneven wear. Ensure the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure, as this affects handling and grip on wet or icy roads.  Inspect your lights: Confirm that all exterior lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, are working properly. Replace any faulty bulbs and clean the lenses to maximise visibility.  Test your battery: Cold weather can strain your car battery, so check its condition and ensure it’s holding charge effectively. If your battery is older or showing signs of weakness, consider replacing it to avoid issues starting your car in low temperatures.  Top up your fluids: Ensure your coolant, windscreen washer fluid, and engine oil are at the correct levels. Use a winter-grade screen wash that prevents freezing and helps keep your windscreen clear in frosty weather.  Inspect your wiper blades: Worn or damaged wiper blades can reduce visibility in heavy rain or snow. Replace them if they leave streaks or fail to clear the windscreen effectively.  Check your brakes: Listen for unusual noises or vibrations when braking and have the system inspected if anything feels off. Properly functioning brakes are crucial in slippery conditions.  Examine your heating and demisting systems: Ensure your car’s heating system and demister are working efficiently to prevent windows from fogging up and to keep the interior comfortable on cold mornings.  Inspect hoses and belts: Look for signs of wear or cracks in your car’s belts and hoses, as these components are more likely to fail in cold temperatures.  Look for rust or damage: Wet and salty roads can increase the risk of rust. Examine your car for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and undercarriage, and address any issues promptly.  For added peace of mind, book your car in for a winter service at our Clyde workshop. Our team can perform a thorough inspection, top up essential fluids, and identify any potential problems before they escalate. Don’t leave it to chance – a bit of preparation now can save you time, money, and hassle during the colder months.  Get in touch with BWS Automotive today to schedule your winter car check and service. Let us help you drive safely and confidently this winter!

Neglecting winter car care can lead to breakdowns or unsafe driving conditions, both of which can disrupt your journey and endanger you and others on the road.

See our video to learn more.  They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! This is especially so with cars and why vehicle manufacturers specify regular log book services.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. BWS Automotive in Clyde are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At BWS Automotive in Clyde at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!
