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. Temby Auto Service in Eltham 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 Temby Auto Service in Eltham 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 Temby Auto Service today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Eltham workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

Replacing our brake pads before they wear below 4mm is vital for your own safety and others on the road. It can also end up being a lot more expensive if you don't and they wear down too thin, as it can cause damage to the other components that rub up against like the brake caliper and rotor. If these need to be rebuilt, it can cost thousands of dollars. It can also end up being very expensive if you don't and the pads wear down too thin, as it can cause damage to the other components that rub up against like the brake caliper and rotor. If these need to be rebuilt, it can cost thousands of dollars. Luckily, there are some clear tell tale signs to indicate that our brake pads need replacing. Before we dive into these signs, let's first get a quick understanding of how our brakes work and what causes the brake pads to wear down. When we apply our brakes, the brake calipers push down on the brake pads which push against the wall of the rotor (the rotor is the large shiny circle in the image below). This causes friction which allows our car to stop smoothly but overtime will also wear down our brake pads. Signs you might need new brake pads include; 1. The brakes become incredibly noisy If you begin to hear scraping or squealing noises when applying the brakes it is likely your brake pads need replacing. Squealing noises can be caused by other factors, such as the caliper being loose but the most common cause is worn brake pads. The same goes for scraping noises which can sometimes be the result of loose brake pads, but the most common reason is that the brake pads have worn down completely to the metal plate. This is when things start getting expensive as the rotors may also need to be repaired or replaced. 2. Your car doesn't stop efficiently If our car is taking longer than usual to pull up to a stop once we apply the brakes it is likely new brake pads are needed. This should be quite an easy sign to spot but also a dangerous one if we don't get it fixed immediately. 3. Your car is "pulling" If your car seems like it has a mind of its own by pulling to one side of the road, this could indicate worn brake pads or other repair issues like your wheel alignment being off. It is quite easy to spot what the particular repair issue might be. If your car pulls to one side of the road when the brakes are applied, without you turning the steering wheel , it is likely that your brake pads are wearing unevenly and need replacing. When your car is pulling to one side whilst you are accelerating or just driving without applying the brakes, it is often another repair issue. 4. Your brake pedal is vibrating If you press your brake pedal and it vibrates or pulsates it is another clear indicator that you need new brake pads. The vibration is caused by worn out brakes or brake pads that have been warped due to heat. In this instance, sometimes the brake pads can be re-machined to fix the problem, otherwise they will need to be replaced entirely. If you are experiencing any of the above signs it is important to take your car into a mechanic you can trust as soon as possible.

Replacing your brake pads before they wear below 6mm is vital for our own safety and others on the road. Temby Auto Service in Eltham are your local brake experts.
