Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Malley Group in Karratha know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Malley Group in Karratha we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Malley Group today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Karratha workshop.

Book Your Car Service Early for a Safe Holiday Easter is a time when families and friends across Karratha come together to enjoy the long weekend, and for many, it marks the perfect opportunity for a road trip or a drive to visit loved ones… However, it’s also a period that sees an influx of vehicle servicing requests as drivers prepare their cars for the holiday. With this in mind, it’s essential to book your car service early to ensure your vehicle is in top condition and ready to tackle Easter driving. Why Regular Service Is Important Regular car servicing is vital not only to ensure your vehicle performs optimally but also to keep you and your passengers safe on the road. A well-maintained car is less likely to suffer unexpected breakdowns or mechanical failures, which can be both costly and inconvenient. During the busy Easter period, when road conditions can be challenging due to increased traffic, having a reliable and roadworthy vehicle is crucial. Planning ahead for your car service is particularly important as Easter approaches. Mechanical workshops often experience a surge in bookings during this time, and waiting until the last minute can leave you struggling to secure an appointment. By organising your service well in advance, you’ll avoid the rush and ensure your vehicle is thoroughly checked and prepared for the holiday. Routine car servicing includes a variety of mechanical tasks designed to keep your vehicle in excellent condition. Essential checks and maintenance involve inspecting the engine, brakes, tyres, and suspension to ensure everything is functioning as it should. The oil and filters are typically replaced to maintain engine efficiency and reduce wear and tear. Brake fluid and coolant levels are checked and topped up if necessary, while the battery and electrical system are inspected to prevent potential failures. For those planning longer trips, tyre tread and pressure checks are particularly important, as they directly impact safety, fuel efficiency, and handling on the road. Additionally, regular servicing allows technicians to identify any potential issues before they become major problems. Detecting worn-out components, leaks, or other mechanical concerns early can save you from unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs in the future. For families heading off on holiday or anyone simply driving around Karratha, this peace of mind is invaluable.

Easter Driving Preparation in Karratha

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.
