During a routine service, we found this water pump with excessive movement in the bearing. If left, the bearing would have failed, causing the vehicle to break down.
👨‍🔧 Water pumps are responsible for continuously pumping coolant and water into the engine, maintaining a consistent operating temperature & preventing heat build-up.
⚠ Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Water Pump include;
• Coolant leak
• A whining sound
• Engine overheating
• Steam coming from the radiator
• Can lead to complete engine failure

🤔 Did you know...? When checking your engine oil level; if the vehicle has been running; allow a few minutes for the oil to settle & ensure the vehicle is on even ground. This will ensure a more accurate reading.
Remove the dipstick & wipe clean on a rag. Re-insert the dipstick all the way back in & then inspect the level. The oil should be between the two marks.
We recommend checking your engine oil fortnightly.

Our customer reported a knocking noise from the front end while driving. The culprit was a broken coil spring.
👨‍🔧 The coil spring plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth & comfortable ride, absorbing shocks & vibrations that occur when driving over uneven surfaces, as well as supporting the weight of the vehicle & maintaining a consistent ride height.
⚠ Over time, due to constant use & exposure to various road conditions, coil springs can wear out or become damaged. Signs of damage include:
• Uneven Ride Height
• Excessive Bouncing
• Unusual Noises
• Uneven tyre wear
• Handling Issues
If you notice any of these signs, call us today on 📞 0412 161 776 for a suspension check
