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. J & K's Mechanical in Bundaberg 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 J & K's Mechanical in Bundaberg 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 J & K's Mechanical today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Bundaberg workshop.

Your car’s cooling system is like its personal AC, but for the engine. Imagine driving around on a sweltering day without any relief—yep, that's your engine's life without a functioning cooling system. What is the cooling system? The cooling system is a collection of parts working together to keep your engine at a comfortable temperature. This system includes the radiator, water pump, thermostat, and a mix of coolants that keep everything flowing smoothly. It prevents your engine from turning into a steaming hot mess, literally! But just like any other system in your car, the cooling system needs a little TLC. Regular check-ups by professional mechanics are crucial to keeping everything in tip-top shape. Trust us, a trained eye can spot a problem before it turns into an engine meltdown.  How can you tell if your cooling system needs some attention? Keep an eye out for these red flags: Engine overheating or temperature gauge reading higher than usual. Coolant leaks underneath your car. A sweet, syrupy smell—like burnt marshmallows—under the hood. Steam coming from the engine while you’re driving. Low coolant levels, despite regular refills. At J & K's Mechanical, we offer everything you need to keep your car cool and collected. We're talking comprehensive diagnostics, efficient repairs, and regular maintenance services. Whether it’s replacing a worn-out radiator or just giving your system a thorough check-up, J & K's Mechanical has you covered. So, next time you’re cruising through Bundaberg, remember to swing by J & K's Mechanical for all your cooling system needs. Trust us, your car will thank you!

The Cool Factor: Why Your Car's Cooling System is Essential

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.
