Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Taree

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at Griffo's Automotive, your trusted local mechanic in Taree.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre Griffo's Automotive in Taree is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at Griffo's Automotive today.

At Griffo's Automotive in  Taree we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At Griffo's Automotive we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.

What is an electronic fuel injection system?

In an internal combustion engine, an EFI is the system for mixing fuel and air. For the last few decades, EFI has gradually replaced carburettors to become the most typical system used for fuel delivery in fuel based engines.

In an EFI, a fuel pump pushes the fuel coming from a tank into different injectors creating sufficient pressure for the injectors to deliver accurate amount of fuel. Pump pressure and fuel volume flowing through must meet vehicle manufacturer standards. Failing to meet requirements, the engine performance and economy could be reduced, at the same increasing fuel consumption and emissions.

When inspecting and servicing EFI systems, electric fuel pumps are the primary concern area. Regular wear and tear under normal operating conditions will cause fuel pumps to fail over time. If rust or other type of dirt settle on inlets past filters or contaminate the pump, the repairs will be needed much sooner. This is why it is crucial to inspect your car at scheduled intervals and keep up with servicing your vehicle.

Throttle Body Injection and Port Injection are the two major types of fuel injection are used in modern gasoline engines. Both operate by the same principles, yet look very different. 

Port Injection System sends fuel directly into individual cylinders. Various sensors are located throughout the engine compartment to detect airflow, vacuum, temperature and exhaust. 

Throttle Body Systems have two injectors inside an aluminium housing, mounted to the intake manifold. Nearly all required sensors are located in the same aluminum housing.

The major difference between both systems is price and performance. The far superior port injection systems are also considerably more expensive as the individual sensors must be manufactured separately so that each component can be mounted independently. With each cylinder receiving fuel individually, the computer can control fuel consumption and power much more efficiently. Throttle body systems are cheaper to manufacture, however offer lower performance.

Electronic fuel injection system components

The key to an efficient electronic fuel injection system is the computer. All electronic fuel injection systems utilise a computer to receive information from sensors and, based on information received, send necessary voltage to fuel injectors. Various manufacturers have different names for the electronic fuel injection computer:

Brain Box (typically used in used parts industry)
