Poor fuel efficiency can result from factors such as underinflated tyres, dirty air filters, and improper wheel alignment. Mechanical issues like a faulty oxygen sensor, spark plugs, or fuel injectors also reduce efficiency. Driving habits, including excessive idling, aggressive acceleration, and frequent short trips, further impact fuel economy. Regular maintenance, such as changing oil, replacing filters, and ensuring correct tyre pressure, improves efficiency. Using high-quality fuel and avoiding unnecessary weight in the car can also help. If your vehicle's fuel efficiency declines significantly, consult a mechanic to identify and address potential causes, restoring optimal performance and economy.

To maintain your car’s air conditioning system, use it regularly, even in winter, to keep seals lubricated and components in good condition. Replace cabin air filters during servicing to ensure proper airflow and prevent odours. Periodic checks for refrigerant levels and system leaks are essential, as low refrigerant can reduce cooling efficiency. Avoid running the air conditioning on maximum for extended periods, which strains the system. If cooling performance decreases or you hear unusual noises, have the system inspected promptly. Regular servicing of the air conditioning system ensures effective cooling, extends its lifespan, and prevents costly repairs.

The timing belt should typically be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometres, depending on your vehicle’s make and model. Consult your owner’s manual for specific recommendations. A worn or damaged timing belt can cause engine failure, as it synchronises critical engine components. Warning signs include ticking noises from the engine, difficulty starting, or engine misfiring. Proactive replacement during scheduled maintenance prevents costly repairs and ensures reliable engine performance. Ignoring a timing belt replacement can result in severe engine damage. If your vehicle is nearing the recommended mileage or shows symptoms, schedule a replacement with a qualified mechanic.
