While you can drive when there is no warm air being pumped into a cold car, it is not pleasant. Winter driving without good heating in the car is not only unpleasant it could be unsafe.

Your hands get so cold that you cannot focus properly on the road ahead and your grip on the wheel is not what it should be. Heating system issues may be caused from a broken hose, a stuck heating fan or a thermostat which is not reading correctly. Keep your family warm when you are on the road this season by making an appointment for heating services at Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service.

It may be easy to tell when there are issues with your car heating system. When you turn on the car and it does not heat up for example, you know that there is something wrong. Pinpointing the issue at hand can be a bit more difficult. Here is a common list of symptoms and causes for heating system failure which may help you describe to our team what the issue is.

When there is no heat coming into the system the electric fan may be broken.

When there is too much heat coming out of the fans the thermostat may be broken.

If there is no heat the heating hoses may be clogged, cracked or broken.

Automotive Servicing, Tuning and Repairs in Blackwood, South Australia

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service in Blackwood today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service in Blackwood we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

We recommend checking your Pollen filter annually. It filters the air that is drawn into the cabin from outside your car. A blocked pollen filter can also be the reason for having low air flow from your interior vents while your air conditioning is working hard. Below you can really see the how much dust and debris is collected by the pollen filter.

  Blocked cabin filters can also grow mould or cause bad smells. And when we get our hot northerly winds which bring dust storms in South Australia, your cabin filters will help to capture the dust and pollen, so you breathe easy. You can also have the option of installing a carbon filter, to reduce exhaust fume smells from the car in front of you, fitted in the same place as the standard cabin filter.

Pollen filters can sometimes be located behind the glovebox. Replacement can be done at any time or with your annual car service at Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service.  We also highly recommend a MIST treatment which sanitises the entire ventilation system and internal cabin surfaces of your automobile. Giving you and your family, additional protection against airborne and surface germs. 

Keep out the dust, pollen and odours from inside your vehicle. Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service recommend checking your Pollen filter annually with your car service...
