AIR-CON MAINTENANCE

By

CMH Mitsubishi Menlyn assisting you to keep your car’s air-con in tip-top working order…

CMH Mitsubishi - Dashboard Mitsubishi Menlyn Assisting You to keep your car’s air-con working – Now day’s air-conditioning is standard on practically all vehicles and, on a hot summer’s day, it is one of life’s great pleasures to feel a welcome breeze of ice-cold air from the vents.

How an air-con works

Indicated in the image below, an air-con operates in a closed system with a refrigerant as the working fluid. This means that the incoming hot air never actually touches the refrigerant, but is cooled indirectly by an evaporator/radiator in the airstream. Basically, the compressor is powered by the engine’s auxiliary belt and compresses the refrigerant gas that now heats up above atmospheric temperatures. The hot, compressed refrigerant is then passed through the condenser, where the excess heat is expelled and the gas condenses and passes through the fluid container. The liquid refrigerant then evaporates through the expansion valve, cooling the gas dramatically and passing through the evaporator in the climate-control system’s airstream, cooling the incoming air. The refrigerant now continues back to the compressor, where the whole process starts again. CMH Mitsubishi

What could go wrong…

Your car’s air-con should provide ice-cold relief within five minutes and it is best to evaluate the the air blowing from the vents using the back of your hand. If the air is not cold by then, immediately switch off the sir-con and get the system inspected. There are many things that can go wrong with the air-con system, including gas leaks and failure of bearings and seals, as well as blockages in the pipes or sensor failures. You can take some comfort with the fact that the last component to fail is likely to be the expensive compressor itself. A lack of lubrication is the main reason an air-con compressor fails, when the gas leaks out, so does the oil and thus lubrication qualities are lost, leading to failure. AIR-CON MAINTENANCE CMH Mitsubishi- Central dashboard AC

Vehicle air-con care…

To prevent expensive breakdowns, it is important to run your vehicle’s air-con for at least 30 minutes a week. This action lubricates the system and prevents the bearings on the compressor from corroding at the touching surfaces. To avoid air-con odours, change the pollen filter regularly, because fungus that grows on the evaporator can cause bad smells. You should also service the air-con once a year, now that the summer temperatures are settling in and it’s getting hotter. Book your Mazda in for a air-con treatment and service at CMH Mazda Menlyn service department to prevent compressor replacement. Proper air-con operation

Proper air-con operation…

When a vehicle is parked in the sun, the cabin air is usually hotter than the ambient temperature. First open all windows and switch fan speed to maximum to expel the hot air. Then close the windows and allow the air-con to do its job. When the cabin air is cooler than the ambient temperature, the process can sped up by employing the recirculation function to recycle the cabin air until the cockpit is at the desired temperature.

How To Check Your Vehicle’s Fluid Levels

By

CMH Mitsubishi Menlyn has compiled 5 basic fluid checks you can perform on your vehicle:

Incorrect fluid levels can cause breakdowns or even serious damage to a vehicle. For proper vehicle care, here’s how to monitor key vehicle fluid levels between your dealer service visits.

Checking your engine oil level

The engine must be cold and not running, look for a yellow, red, or brightly-coloured loop/hood that looks like a handle. Have a cloth/rag handy and pull the oil dipstick out of the tube. Wipe the dipstick clean with a cloth/rag and insert it fully back into its tube. Remove the dipstick and check that the oil level is between the markings indicated on the dipstick.

5 Basic Fluid Checks

Power-steering fluid

The remotely mounted translucent plastic power-steering bottle will have minimum/maximum indicators molded into it. Make sure that the power-steering fluid is always between those two levels, and not too full or too low.

5 Basic Fluid Checks

Engine/Radiator coolant

Engine needs to be cold and not running (do not open the coolant or radiator cover when the engine temperature is high/hot), locate the reservoir for the coolant recovery system. It’s usually a translucent plastic container mounted near the radiator, the reservoir will have upper (hot) and lower (cold) level markings molded into it. If the fluid is below the lower mark, add coolant up to that point, but not any higher.

Vehicle engine coolant

Brake fluid

The brake fluid reservoir is usually on top the master cylinder at the rear of the engine compartment on the driver side. Locate the translucent plastic reservoir with upper and lower level markings molded into it. If the level is near or below the lower mark, have an auto repair shop inspect the brake system for leaks or wear as soon as possible.

Vehicle brake fluid bottle

Window washer fluid

This usually has a sign that looks like a tiny water fountain. If the fluid level is low just fill the bottle with water until the fluid nears the top. Use a bug-removing washer fluid in summer.

Mitsubishi’s Heritage

By

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing, CMH Mitsubishi Menlyn will be taking you back in time and sharing some memories

The history of Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing started with The three diamond of the Mitsubishi logo and were originally inspired by Iwasaki’s family crest – the word ‘Mitsubishi’ has long been used to donate a diamond shape in Japanese. Since its inception, the logo has continued to embody the principles of the world-renowned vehicle manufacturer.

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing

1950’s

Car manufacture under the Mitsubishi name goes back to 1917 with the Mitsubishi Model A, the first series-production passenger car to be made in Japan (22 were produced).

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing

1960’s

The launch of the Mitsubishi 500 in 1960 marked the company’s entry into the small passenger car market. Envisioning the future of the automobile industry, the company started its journey in the 1960s with the Colt series, including the Colt 1000 and the Colt 800.

1970’s

During the 1980s, the company became a driving force behind the boom in recreational vehicles with the sedan-flavor Pajero full-feature 4WD. With a view to the growing market, the company introduced a number of advanced 4WD-based models, including the three-row Chariot, a pioneer of the minivan segment, and the Galant full-time 4WD sedan.

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing

1990’s

During the 1990s, the company launched several distinctive models meeting ever-diversifying customer needs. The company also built up a glowing track record in the Dakar Rally, WRC and other events in the world of motorsport.

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing

2000’s

The noughties saw the company adding to its SUV lineup with the launch of its first crossover SUV the Airtrek (Outlander). With a view to the future, the company also took up the challenge of electrification and in 2009 introduced the iMiEV, the world’s first mass-produced next-generation electric vehicle and the crystallization of many years of EV development at the company. The company was also honing its 4WD technology with the launch of the Lancer Evolution X which used the advanced S-AWC integrated vehicle behaviour control system.

CMH Mitsubishi Westrand- Tips To Look After Your Beloved Mitsubishi

By

Mitsubishi has The Top 5 Tips to ensure that your vehicle is in top shape on the road and that you have a smooth journey between vehicle services.

There many things in our daily lives that take precedent over having to look for the ping on your on-board computer or having it looking like a Christmas tree (multiple check and component failure signals) before you book your vehicle in for service.

Don’t let the Christmas tree show up on your dash and get your heart rate to borderline ER levels, take a deep breath and let us help you make the right decisions from the onset.

1. Brake Fluid levels

An essential and probably one of the most important safety aspects for any vehicle is stopping power. The braking system is an integral part of the vehicle’s mobility controls and what can keep you out of harm’s way on the busy South African Roads.

The level of brake fluid in the reservoir is usually a good indication of the life or quality of your breaks. For example: half-full reservoir-50% life span in brakes.

2. Oil levels

We are all guilty of ignoring the petrol attendant when asked about oil levels and with good reason, the best time to check your dipstick is before you switch the vehicle on. The reason for this is that the engine components utilise oil to run effectively so your oil reading will be lower with the warm engine, as opposed to a cold engine.

3. Coolant levels

An important part of your engine’s system which aids in the cooling process of a running motor. Always check the coolant reservoir when that toasty looking icon switches (it means your engine is quarter to toast). Head gasket damage is imminent and that can run into thousands of rands for engineering/skimming or OEM replacement parts.

4. Service books and Spare key

Before and after servicing it is always a good idea to double check the dates for your next booking, the best way to keep track is to leave the books in your car.

In case of a vehicle breakdown the service book notifies the closest service workshop of the last item in your history which is usually a good place to start when tracing the source of the flaw.

All information captured can also be revisited when looking to trade in your vehicle to buy your upgraded Mitsubishi from CMH Mitsubishi Westrand. Full-service history is part of the sales process when using your current vehicle as equity for your next Eclipse, Triton or Pajero sport as an example. It’s important to stay on track with The Top 5 Tips Mitsubishi provides

5. Tyres- Quality and lifespan

In order to get from one place to another the quality of tyres always gives you a sense of assurance at a glance. As when you all went to test for driver’s licence there is a process called a vehicle inspection. This means checking the tyre pressure by feel, observing the side walls for cracks, bubbles and tears.

Look for the proverbial “tamatie/ tomato”, these are the smooth patches or bald spots on the tyre’s circumference where tyre treads are worn out.

A quick vehicle inspection is good practice before you move your vehicle. As in K53, walk around your vehicle give each tyre a good toe punt (we suggest wearing closed shoes, barefoot is not so lekker, for the sake of your big toe).

This also works as a backup to check that all your goods are still in your vehicle with mall/parking lot crime and vandalism.

Step-By-Step Guide To Changing A Tyre

By

It is an unfortunate reality that puncture’s and flat tyres are not something we can plan for. Changing a flat tyre is one of those life skills that we all need to know. Here is a Step-By-Step Guide To Changing A Tyre

Guide To Changing A Tyre

CMH Mitsubishi Menlyn has compiled a step by step guide on how to change a tyre:

  • Flat tyres often happen in inconvenient locations. On the road, you’ll need to find a safe spot to pull over. If possible, have the flat tyre facing the verge-side of the road, instead of the traffic side. Once safely parked, put on your hazards, put your vehicle in neutral/park and pull up the handbrake.
  • Place your emergency triangle approximately 20 meters behind your vehicle on the road.
  • Look for bricks, small rocks or logs and place them behind the other wheels, to secure the vehicle and prevent it from rolling.
  • Get your spare wheel, jack and wheel spanner from under the floor of the boot/trunk. This may vary depending on your vehicle some vehicles have the spare wheels mounted on the back or underneath of the vehicle.
  • Look for the markings or notches on the metal frame under the vehicle near the tyre that needs changing. Place the jack and proceed to raise the wheel just enough to release the weight of the vehicle. Guide To Changing A Tyre
  • Remove the hubcap and loosen the wheel nuts using the wheel spanner turning anti clockwise, don’t completely remove the wheel nuts just yet. Proceed to jack the vehicle up high enough off the ground to remove the wheel, remove the wheel nuts, carefully remove the flat wheel and place it under the vehicle in-case your jack fails.
  • Align spare wheel rim with the wheel bolts and slot into place, and put back the wheel nuts tightening the nuts in a star pattern (Don’t tighten the wheel nut next to the one you’ve just worked on, but rather the one just opposite it) to ensure even torque with your hands till they nice and snug.
  • Remove your flat wheel from under your vehicle and proceed to lower your vehicle once done remove the jack. Double check that the wheel nuts are snug with the wheel spanner once lowered.
  • Place flat wheel, jack, wheel spanner and emergency triangle into the boot/trunk. Have the flat wheel repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

Service Plan, Maintenance Plan And A Warranty

By

The Three Main Package Plans

We know that most dealerships offer The Three Main Package Plans. What are the differences between them? The Three Main Package Plans

So, you’ve bought that car you had your eye on and you know the specs and features off by heart. You are happy with your monthly instalments and your insurance is sorted. But are you aware of the manufacturer warranty, or whether the vehicle has a service or maintenance plan?

Most cars are sold with a maintenance or service plan as standard or as an optional extra. But don’t be fooled into thinking that a standard service or maintenance plan is free. The price of these plans is usually included in the purchase price of your new car. You will, however, benefit from no additional costs involved when having your vehicle properly serviced and maintained so you can budget exactly how much your new car is going to cost every month.

So, it’s time to get clued up on what a maintenance plan, service plan and warranty is?

Maintenance Plan

A maintenance plan is basically a service plan on steroids. It comes with more benefits than a service plan and will include wear-and-tear items on your vehicle such as the gearbox, clutch, suspension and brake pads and discs, wiper blades, shock absorbers, globes and fuses, wheel bearings, replacement gas for the air-conditioning system etc. The maintenance contract simply covers any item on your car that has a wear cycle and will need to be replaced at some point during the car’s lifespan – the items not covered by a service plan.

The Three Main Package Plans

Service Plan

The name says it all! The plan covers all the costs of having your car serviced as per the stipulations of the manufacturer. This will generally include the labour and replacement cost of air, pollen, fuel and oil filters, cam belts, brake fluid, oil and gearbox oil, spark plugs and coolant. These services will have to be carried out by an authorised service centre or dealer network to guarantee that the terms of the service plan contract are met.

Warranty

New vehicles carry some sort of warranty but depending on the brand they can differ. However, warranties are all restricted in terms of time and mileage. Your car’s warranty is mainly a promise by the manufacturer that the faults in manufacturing or factory defects will be repaired, or replaced, within a specific period of time. Items that are covered by the warranty include: engine, gearbox, electric components, fuel systems, audio systems and sensors. It is important to note that a warranty does not cover all items. These items not covered are tyres and brake pads, and any damage resulting from user abuse will also not be covered. Damages caused by a driver’s abuse or incorrect use could void a warranty, as well as aftermarket alterations made to the vehicle. Make sure you familiarise yourself with exactly what is covered under the warranty and for how long.

Service and maintenance plans are not all created equally, so it’s important for you to read and understand the plan you are signing up for. Familiarise yourself with what is covered and what isn’t. And remember, if you’re not sure, ask, this could help save you a lot of frustration and expenses later on.
