EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection Service in Invermay

In the colder climes of Launceston, Tasmania, where temperatures can dive low enough to make anyone reach for an extra layer, your car's comfort and performance rely significantly on one crucial component: the cooling system. Whilst the name might suggest its primary role is to keep things cool, the cooling system (including the radiator) is pivotal in maintaining an optimal operating temperature for your vehicle's engine, even in the frosty weather Launceston is known for. Let's dive into the essence of radiators and cooling systems, shedding light on why their maintenance is non-negotiable for every motorist in our beautiful city.

At its core, the cooling system performs a balancing act. It keeps the engine from overheating by dissipating heat in warm conditions and ensures the engine warms up quickly and stays at an optimal temperature in cold environments. This system comprises several key components, including the radiator, thermostat, water pump, cooling fan, and coolant, all working in harmony.

The Heart of the Matter: Radiators and Cooling Systems Explained

The radiator, which is perhaps the most recognised part of the cooling system, acts as the heat exchanger. It cools the coolant mixture after it has absorbed heat from the engine and before it circulates back to draw more heat away. This cycle is critical in both preventing overheating in hot weather and ensuring the engine reaches and maintains the right temperature to operate efficiently in colder weather.

The varied temperatures in Invermay, Launceston, Tasmania, highlight the need for a diligently maintained cooling system. Here are several reasons why:

Why a Well-Maintained Cooling System is Critical in Launceston

1. Preventing Freeze-ups: In cold temperatures, an inadequately maintained cooling system can lead to the coolant freezing, causing blockages and potentially severe engine damage.

2. Optimal Engine Performance: A well-maintained cooling system ensures the engine quickly reaches its most efficient operating temperature, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions—crucial for those frosty Launceston mornings.

3. Longevity of Your Vehicle: Regular maintenance of the cooling system prevents the buildup of rust and corrosion, ensuring the longevity of the engine and, by extension, your vehicle.

At Launnie Automotive, your trusted mechanic in Invermay, we can't stress enough the importance of regular checks and maintenance for your cooling system, especially given the unique climate of Launceston. Here are some maintenance tips:

Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle's Cooling System

1. Regular Coolant Changes: Ensure your coolant is changed as recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer. This not only keeps the coolant effective but also reduces the risk of corrosion.

2. Thermostat Checks: A malfunctioning thermostat can wreak havoc on your engine's ability to regulate temperature. Regular checks can prevent this issue.

3. Radiator Inspections: Check your radiator and hoses for leaks or damages periodically. Any compromise can lead to decreased efficiency of your cooling system.

At Launnie Automotive, we understand the nuances of maintaining vehicles in the variable Tasmanian weather. We take pride in offering the very best in car servicing and automotive repairs, including comprehensive cooling system checks and maintenance to ensure your car is prepared to face the winter chill or those unexpected high temperatures. 

Our team is fully qualified to look after your vehicle, ensuring its cooling system functions flawlessly throughout the year. Whether you're gearing up for the depths of winter or preparing for the warmer months, rest assured—your car is in safe hands with us. Contact us today to book your service and give your vehicle the care it deserves.

Understanding the Importance of Radiators and Cooling Systems

Before you can legally drive your car in Tasmania, you need to register the vehicle with the Tasmanian Government Transport Services

In Tasmania, a Pre-Registration Inspection (also referred to as 'Rego Check') is required when you:

Transfer to Tasmania a car registered in another state; 

Register a vehicle converted from left-hand to right-hand drive; 

Re-register a vehicle whose previous registration expired or was cancelled more than three months ago; 

Re-register a vehicle that is recorded as repairable write-off

First, you need to make a booking for an inspection through an Approved Inspection Station, such as Launnie Automotive in Invermay. 

In Tasmania, the cost of registration is determined by your vehicle type. You will also need to pay a fee and/or duty when transferring vehicle registration into another name (when selling/buying a car). 

We can arrange for your number plates to be exchanged if transferring from interstate. If your vehicle doesn't pass the inspection, we can assist in making repairs, so you can pass the inspection.

How do I check if a vehicle is registered?

For many, the rego stickers were a handy reminder for when the vehicle's registration is due. Now that they are phased out you can check online 

 If you are driving someone else's car or are in doubt as to whether the vehicle is registered, use the link above. It is an offence to drive, park or stand an unregistered vehicle on a public street, even if you are not the owner.

Your local Invermay mechanic, Launnie Automotive can help perform a vehicle inspection, so you can register your vehicle. Call us today to make a booking.
