Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Auto Care Ocean Grove in Ocean Grove today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Auto Care Ocean Grove in Ocean Grove we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

There are several signs that could indicate your car’s air conditioning needs attention. These can range from insufficient cooling, unpleasant smells, unusual noises to noticeable leaks from the air conditioning unit. Sometimes, your system might blow warm air instead of cool, or your vehicle's engine may run excessively after using the AC. Unexplained moisture inside your vehicle could also signal a malfunction. Not only does a defective AC system compromise your comfort, but it can also lead to expensive repairs if not addressed in time.

That’s why we always recommend regular air conditioning service to ensure its optimal functionality. During the service, our qualified mechanics perform several important checks and tasks. These include checking pressures, inspecting hoses and components for damage or leaks, checking system controls, checking for any contaminants or debris within the system, checking the operation of the compressor, and most importantly, checking the system's performance.

Car engine cooling system failures rank among the top three causes of roadside breakdowns in Australia, with radiator failures accounting for a large percentage of these.

A fully functional radiator and cooling system is essential in preventing overheating, which can cause expensive breakdowns and may result in serious engine damage. Modern engines also operate more efficiently within specific temperature ranges.

Not all cooling system failures are explosive in nature - in most cases, it's a slow process that may start with you noticing puddles under the car or having to top off the coolant level regularly. These are often signs your radiator may be leaking.

The temperature gauge may indicate a high coolant temperature in slow traffic but returns to normal during high-speed driving. In some cases, you may notice a sweetish, "hot water" smell coming from the engine, or even notice actual steam coming from under the bonnet. All these symptoms are serious and should not be ignored. 

All Repco Authorised Service centres employ highly trained technicians who are qualified to spot and correct problems that not only affect radiators but all parts and components of modern engine cooling systems.

When you have your cooling system inspected at a Repco Authorised Service centre, you gain the peace of mind that comes with knowing your vehicle's cooling system is up to the task of keeping your engine running at optimal temperatures.
