Why regular servicing is important

Regular service intervals

You can potentially extend the life of your vehicle. Avoid unnecessary mechanical expenses down the track. Ensure your vehicle is safe to drive. Maintain a higher value for when it comes time to sell as well as extending the life of your expensive asset.

When does you car require servicing? This will be detailed in the vehicle’s logbook or owner’s manual. But as a general rule most cars should be professionally serviced every six months or 10,000km (whichever comes first).

Photographic evidence here, shows the result of not having oil changed at regular intervals. The engine clogs up with burnt, thick oil – almost like tar, resulting in very expensive repairs or engine replacement.

DPF Delete?

Can I delete my DPF?

Simple Answer – NO!

It is illegal to remove or delete your DPF. Your vehicle has been designed by the manufacturer to operate with a DPF system. It is illegal and also voids the manufacturer’s warranty and Australian consumer law protections. Removal or deletion of your DPF may also impact vehicle insurance claims.

DPFs are fitted to enable the vehicle to comply with the Australian Design Rules (ADR) emission requirement levels. The relevant ADR for light vehicles is ADR79 and for heavy vehicles ADR80. It is illegal to operate a vehicle that does not meet the ADR and removing or deleting a DPF will result in non-compliance with the ADR. Both the ADRs can be found on the commonwealth Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development & Cities website.

In addition to commonwealth legislation, each state and territory also have additional legislation that require DPFs to be fitted and operated in accordance with manufacturer requirements.

How Can I Prevent My DPF From Blocking In The Future?

To help prevent the blocking of your DPF again, try to drive the vehicle at least once a week on the highway for 30 minutes or more. This will ensure that the DPF self-cleaning system is activated and the soot gets cleaned from your DPF. Also make sure that the vehicle is serviced at the correct intervals and the correct engine oil is used.

Is ADAS Calibration necessary?

ADAS Calibration

Is ADAS calibration necessary?

A misaligned camera could jeopardise the functionality of the system and lead to dangerous driving or accidents, so it is crucial that the cameras are aligned perfectly, which is what windscreen calibration ensures.
What does windscreen calibration affect?

A misaligned camera affects almost every ADAS system so if your vehicle is fitted with any of the following technologies you will need to have your cameras calibrated:

Adaptive cruise control
Adaptive high beam
Glare-free high beam
Adaptive light control
Automatic parking
Automotive navigation system providing up-to-date traffic information
Automotive night vision
Blind spot monitor
Collision avoidance system
Crosswind stabilisation
Driver drowsiness detection
Driver monitoring system
Emergency driver assistant
Forward collision warning
Intersection assistant
Hill descent control
Intelligent speed adaption/advice
Lane departure warning system
Lane change assistance
Pedestrian protection system
Traffic sign recognition
Turning assistant
Vehicular communication systems
Wrong-way driving warning
If you have an ADAS system fitted, you may need to have it recalibrated from time to time – if there is a chance that your camera’s view has been slightly altered, for example. Circumstances that will require a recalibration include:
- After a windscreen replacement
- If the dashboard shows a fault code
- If the camera has been disconnected
- Change of suspension
- Change of wheel alignment

Vehicle Sensor Technology

It is likely that there are many of us out there who are unaware of the sensors and technology used and how they operate – both individually and collectively.

By seamlessly integrating vehicles and sensing devices, their sensing and communication capabilities can be leveraged to achieve smart and intelligent transportation systems.

Three major sensors amongst dozens are essential for safety –

Airbags sensors – After seatbelts, airbags are one of the most important safety features in modern vehicles. To keep passengers safe during an accident, airbags must deploy immediately after a crash occurs. And to help airbags deploy in time, crash sensors have the important job of detecting a collision and quickly triggering the airbags.

Speed sensors – Speed sensors communicate important data to the engine about the car’s speed, which in turn helps the engine regulate its functions. As a result, speed sensors are an extremely important component in any vehicle. You can usually find a vehicle’s speed sensor near the transaxle or transmission.

Fuel sensors – A functional fuel level sensor is essential. If a car owner doesn’t know how much fuel is in their tank, they could end up stranded on the side of the road.

Lane Keeping Issues

All lane keeping technologies are dependent on a clear unobstructed view of the lane markings for optimal operation. Anything that interferes with the view of the forward facing camera can have a detrimental impact on the system to accurately detect lane markings. The most common issues preventing a lane keeping system from functioning properly are vehicle related.

Dirty windshield – dirt, mud, bugs and or pollen on the windshield in front of the camera can at best cause the system to deactivate, or at worst, cause the system to misidentify lane markings.

Worn windshield wipers – may leave streaks in front of the camera thereby obstructing the view.

Ice or snow on windshield – an improperly cleared windshield during a winter storm may totally obstruct the forward facing camera.

Damaged windshield – chips or cracks on the windshield which extend into the camera’s field of view may block or distort the camera’s view

Glass quality – poor quality aftermarket glass has been know to cause distortion of the camera’s view, impairing the system’s ability to accurately detect lane markings.

FRIT fitment – also an issue with poor quality aftermarket glass, a poor fitting FRIT may partially or fully obstruct the camera’s view. There have been cases of poor FRIT fitment obstructing one camera of a stereo camera system. Objects on dash – certain objects placed on the dash, like a white piece of paper, can cause a reflection on the windshield which may confuse the forward facing camera. This is especially true on vehicles with a very deep dash

Damaged camera bracket – a damaged camera bracket which was reinstalled after glass replacement may cause the forward facing camera to be mounted incorrectly, impacting the camera’s ability to accurately identify lane markings.

Recalibration fixture and distance markers.
Bosch ADAS Positioning System (BAP) that utilizes technology and industrial-grade vision cameras to measure the distance and angles of the fixture, in relation to the vehicle.
Dual-purpose Volkswagen radar and camera board – The DAS 3000 includes a specially designed target board used for calibrating radar systems and Volkswagen cameras.

Types of ADAS

Whilst some forms of ADAS are pre-built into cars, there are also some systems that can be added on. Here are some common types of ADAS that are available in most modern cars today.

GPS Navigation: When was the last time you used a paper map? GPS Navigation systems are inbuilt screens that guide you to your destination via a visual map and vocal directions. Most GPS Navigation systems today will also provide you with live traffic updates so that you can navigate around areas that are busy.

Adaptive Light Control: This ADAS component assists drivers by automatically turning on the headlights when the natural lighting is reduced.

Collision Avoidance Systems: Collusion avoidance systems are powered by multiple sensors which warn you when your vehicle is critically close to another object. Collision Avoidance Systems are invaluable in warning drivers when there are unseen obstructions in your blind spots.

Automatic Braking: Automatic braking systems assist the driver in cases of high-speed collisions by automatically slowing down the vehicle to lessen any potential damages caused.

Adaptive Cruise Control: If you plan on making a trip along the highway, especially if it’s a long trip, you’ll want to activate cruise control to make your journey a lot easier. With advanced cruise control systems, your vehicle will be programmed to autonomously slow down or speed up in reaction to the vehicle directly ahead of you.
