Your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is designed to rapidly deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly, at peak performance and using the minimum amount of fuel.

Symptoms of an EFI problem include the smell of fuel in the car, idling roughly, problems with starting and frequent stalling.

If you suspect you have a problem, bring your vehicle in for a no obligation inspection before it gets any worse. We are located in Preston and also serve customers from the surrounding areas.

Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector

Identify EFI problems and how we diagnose and fix your EFI

We use special computer Diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is basically a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out a special fault code which our diagnostic scan equipment is able to extract and interpret.

Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem.

Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly

Any leaks must be located and fixed without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components and quite obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere!

Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned or replaced. Where necessary components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds.

If any sensors or the lines connecting them to the ECU are damaged they'll need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle so your ECU will usually not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed and it will often send the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode'

Exceptional Care: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service network of mechanics we have all the latest diagnostic training and technical equipment to keep your cars EFI system running at optimal performance

Peace of Mind: We offer the peace of mind which comes from the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty along with the friendly service which comes from dealing with a trusted independent workshop

Education: Not only do our mechanics have access to a vast library of diagnostic information and service bulletins via the National Auto Tech programme, but they are always available if required to help our clients learn more about what is going on with their car

When it comes to maintaining your car, a radiator flush might not be the first thing on your mind. But understanding this simple procedure can keep your car running smoothly, especially during those warmer months. At On The Move Mechanical Repairs in Preston, we're here to help you navigate the essentials of radiator care.

Think of your car's radiator as its personal air-conditioning system, helping to regulate the engine's temperature. It prevents your engine from overheating, which is especially crucial when the mercury rises. Over time, your radiator can accumulate rust, dirt, and debris, much like dust settling on a bookshelf. These impurities can hinder your radiator’s ability to cool the engine effectively.

A radiator flush is akin to a spring clean for your car's cooling system. It involves draining the old coolant, flushing out the build-up, and refilling with fresh coolant. This ensures your radiator can function efficiently, safeguarding your engine from overheating, which is more likely to happen in warmer weather.

Wondering if it's time for a radiator flush? Keep an eye out for these common signs:

Overheating Engine: If your temperature gauge consistently climbs into the red zone, it’s a clear indication that your radiator might not be doing its job properly.

Leaking Coolant: Puddles of bright green, orange, or pink liquid under your car can suggest a coolant leak, hinting at a need for a check-up.

Strange Noises: A grinding or knocking noise could mean that your radiator is struggling, possibly due to sediment build-up.

Rusty or Discoloured Coolant: If the coolant looks brown or rusty instead of bright green or orange, it’s a sign that your radiator is due for a flush.

At On The Move Mechanical Repairs, we can't stress enough the value of regular car servicing. Routine maintenance, including radiator checks, ensures your vehicle runs efficiently and safely. It not only prevents unexpected breakdowns but also saves you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs.

By trusting your car with the experts at On The Move Mechanical Repairs in Preston, you can drive with peace of mind, knowing that your car is well-maintained and ready to face the road ahead. So, when was the last time your car had a radiator flush? If you’re unsure, maybe it’s time to pay us a visit. Let's keep your car cool and your journeys smooth!

Learn about radiator flushes, signs your car needs one, and why regular servicing is vital. Trust On The Move Mechanical Repairs in Preston to keep your vehicle in top condition.
