D & D Mechanical & 4WD (AU26921) are ready to perform all your Vehicle Air Conditioning Regas, Repair, Inspection and Servicing needs in Goolwa and the surrounding areas.

Todays cars are sometimes complex and just like the engine a vehicle's air conditioner system has elements that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

Loss of refrigerant through leakage and evaporation mean that your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, raising your overall fuel usage. It is important to regularly assess the condition of the rubber seals for any signs of leaks or wear which may well be allowing a loss of refrigerant. Refrigerant is also harmful to the environment.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced annually means you help protect the air con from costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced vehicle air conditioner system actually saves you money because it results in a reduction of fuel consumption.

D & D Mechanical & 4WD care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU26921) to reliably and responsibly conduct car air conditioner regas, repair, inspection and servicing.

Car Air Con Services in Goolwa

A vehicle was dropped off to us and the owner noted that is was down in power, but using heaps more fuel, client also noted the check engine light was illuminated ???

After receiving authorisation to commence a Test/ Diagnostic Service, we connected our scan tool & checked the fault codes logged. We located an EGR valve fault code and a turbo boost issue. Upon clearing these codes we road tested and rechecked diagnostic trouble codes. Unfortunately, the EGR valve fault code had relogged but the turbo boost fault did not re log as a fault code, at this stage.

As we identified a possible EGR valve fault, we liaised with client advising valve needed to be removed & have static testing completed to verify fault. After dismantling the EGR valve from the intake manifold & performing a static operational test, all checks appear OK.

Next step was to reinspect vehicle. During EGR valve removal it was noted that there was extensive carbon build up inside the manifold runners which could be potentially causing flow issues in the intake manifold and possible EGR anomalies. We spoke again with our client & advised the EGR Valve was operationally OK and that an expensive component was not required for replacement Client was relieved! 

Our next step was to dismantle & clean the intake manifold. This repair was complete, vehicle was reassembled & road tested. There was instant power gain and no relog of fault codes or check engine light on. We kept the vehicle overnight for cold start checks/ running, all checks appear OK, clients vehicle was released and has been running for 10 days trouble free....another satisfied customer of D & D Mechanical & 4WD
