What Are the Benefits of Changing a Fuel Filter?

Cars made prior to 1980 used mechanical fuel pumps and carburettors that required low fuel pressure to operate. Fuel filters keep contaminants and other particles from clogging the injectors.

How do you know there is something wrong with the Fuel Filter?

When the ‘Check Engine’ light is on.
When the engine runs rough power, delivery is not as smooth as usual.
When fuel consumption of the car appears higher than usual.
When you experience problems starting the car.

When should you consider a Fuel Filter replacement?

Over time, a fuel filter can get rather dirty, clog up or fail completely. There will be a reduced flow of fuel towards the engine or, in extreme cases, dirty fuel will pass through the filter and onto the engine. Eventually, a fuel filter that does not work correctly can lead to further damage. Should you experience problems with the fuel supply, then it is advisable to have the fuel filter inspected and, if necessary, have it replaced. Seeing that the fuel filter is a component that is especially prone to wear it should always be replaced as and when stipulated in the servicing guidelines set out by your car’s manufacturer.

What is a ABS Pump ?

The anti-lock braking system ensures that the wheels are always in tractive contact when driving by preventing the brakes from locking up and avoid skidding. The ABS pump consists of an ECU which monitors the speed of the rotation of each wheel and a hydraulic unit / pump which puts pressure on the brakes.

What is a ABS Ring ?

ABS Rings. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is fitted as standard to all modern day cars as an additional safety measure. Under heavy braking, the force exerted on the brake discs can cause the wheels to lock, resulting in the car skidding along the road surface

What is a ABS Hydraulic Units ?

ABS (or anti-lock braking system) is what keeps your wheels gripped to the road when braking sharply and prevents them from locking up to keep you in full control. The hydraulic unit in the ABS system works by equalising the pressure on each individual brake or adjusting it to stop the car from skidding or veering.

Car Service

Full Service includes a comprehensive 70-point check, Interim Service has a 50-point check. At Many Autos we use the latest equipment, allowing our qualified technicians and mechanics to diagnose any problems quickly and efficiently. Forgetting to service the vehicle as per manufacturer schedule can cause airborne debris such as leaves and dust to find their way into the engine, in particular the cylinders. This grime can then mix with the engine oil, which, when moves around the engine can slowly wear away engine components due to its abrasive nature. If left for a while clogged filters can cause serious damage to engine, reducing its performance and costing you more money than the cost of a normal service. At Many Autos we keep a range of different service parts in stock for every make and model, so you can get the service you need to keep the vehicle engine running at the highest possible standard.

Timing Belt/Cambelt Replacement

Timing Belt replacement according to your car manufacturer schedule is essential Snapped Timing belt can cause serious damage to the engine. It is often cost-effective to replace your Water Pump at the same time so don’t be surprised if we suggest it.
What happen if your timing belt snaps?The most difficult aspect of your timing belt maintenance is that it will usually continue to give dependable service, with minimal attention, for several years.But rubber is, of course, a perishable item, and the constant exposure to the high temperatures found in an engine, together with the speeds at which the belt has to constantly rotate, means the timing belt has to work really hard to keep everything running harmoniously.

If your timing belt snaps, there are two likely scenarios, which will depend on the type of engine timing configuration employed.
So-called ‘interference’ engines need the cam belt to prevent the valves and pistons inside your engine from smashing into each other at high speed. And of course, if they were to do this, it’s likely to result in the respective parts being smashed to pieces and distributing the resulting debris all over the inside of your engine, so unleashing all kinds of mayhem which can cause damage way beyond the individual components involved.

Air Suspension system

Air suspensions Repair Many autos LTD — Many Autos LTD

Air suspension is a modern way of enhancing the driving experience by way of computerised air vents and compression in the suspension system. Introduced as an improvement on the traditional steel suspension of luxury cars, air suspension is a feature that allows drivers to adjust the quality of the drive according to the nature of the surface on which they are driving. It relies on air pressure inflating the bellows in the suspension system to ensure that the chassis is sufficiently raised above the axle to mask significant bumps in the road. Due to the advanced technology involved, air suspension systems are more technical to fix, so it is recommended that a mechanic is consulted if your system is showing signs of failure. One tell-tale sign is that the vehicle appears to lean to one side when you are driving.

Can I drive with a bad Air suspension?

Never drive a car with a broken air suspension or shock absorber at highway speeds and avoid sudden turns or stops in the long run a broken air suspension shock will need to be replaced.

Why do car exhausts rust?

The exhaust rusts for a couple of reasons: first, it is exposed to water, debris, salt and damage from materials thrown up from the road. Second, the exhaust undergoes extremes of heat and cold, as well as internal water vapor (a byproduct of internal combustion), all of which speed up the rusting process.

What does blue, white or black exhaust smoke mean?

It’s useful to know your exhaust smoke colors Black smoke means your engine is burning fuel inefficiently, creating soot, pointing towards a tuning, ignition or air/fuel mixture issue. Blue smoke means that oil is getting beyond where it should be in your engine and mixing with fuel and being burnt, probably because of worn valve stem seals or piston rings. White smoke indicates that coolant is entering the engine’s cylinders, most likely due to a cracked or warped head gasket.

Exhaust Warranty
