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

Symptoms of an EFI problem include the smell of fuel in the car, idling roughly, problems starting and frequent stalling. If you suspect you have a problem, bring your vehicle in for an inspection before it gets any worse. We are located in Slacks Creek and serve many customers in the Springwood, Logan Central and surrounding areas as well.

Efi services Kiwi French Automotive provide :

Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector

In addition to the expert EFI related services above Kiwi French Automotive also offer;

Exceptional Care: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service network of mechanics we have all the latest diagnostic equipment to keep your car 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 neighbourhood shop

Education: Not only are our mechanics attending ongoing seminars and checking service bulletins, but they are always available to help our clients learn more about what is going on with their car

Here's a bit more about how we diagnose and fix problems with your efi:

There are a number of other things we do, depending on what your problem it but this gives you a good idea to start.

Diagnostics are used to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is a computer which controls the whole fuel injection process by taking in information from sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making "decisions" based on pre-programmed inputs

Testing and visual inspections are 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 - obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere

Fuel lines, filters and valves can also become clogged so they'll need to be unclogged

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 these sensors, they keep track of information that is vital to your safety so your ECU will not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Slacks Creek

There is a huge debate going on right now between the environmentalists and the automotive purists. The battle? E10 fuel. 

While folks touted E10 as the do all to end all and totally hyped it up before it was released, there has been considerable backlash against the fuel. There is even a backlash in certain places like Victoria who has silenced the mandate on this E10 fuel; so much so that huge companies like Shell have pulled E10 from the stations due to lack of interest. There are several reasons why not to use E10 fuel for your car; here are a few. 

 So the big thing with E10 fuel or ethanol-petrol blends was supposed to be all about the environmental savings and the superior performance. Unfortunately that hasn't been the way things have worked out. Even though the E10 is supposed to be such a better deal for the environment the fact of the matter is that E10 cars emit more CO2 than premium unleaded fuelled cars. Fuel economy also suffers with E10 fuel. 

 E10 fuel is supposed to be so vastly superior to premium unleaded fuel and in truth E10 fuel does cost less per litre. But that doesn't tell the whole story. The ethanol fuel has got less get up and go. When the ethanol fuel requires more effort to get your car to go the same distance as the premium unleaded, that doesn't seem like a very good deal. You are paying less but you are also burning the fuel off far quicker. Which means you are back at the service station sooner than you would have been if you had just spent a couple of extra coins and gotten the good stuff. 

 This one is the real kicker. So your fuel consumption is way up with the E10 fuel. You are using more fuel to take you the same distance, you are having to stop for fuel more often, and you are pouring out more CO2 into the air. Which is bad enough as it is. But then there is the issue of your engine being decorated with carbon deposits in the fuel intake valves. 

Many mechanics have noticed it and have raised the alarm. The higher octane premium fuel does a great job of cleaning itself and cleaning your engine. But the ethanol fuel does not operate in the same way. Maybe car dealers just need to begin making engines which operate better with the E10 fuels. But the chances of an average car engine being able to have the same pickup as it would with premium fuel is a long ways off. Couple that with the fact that your car is running dirtier and less efficiently with the E10 fuel and you can begin to understand why there has been so much outrage within the driving community over these matters. 

Touted as the do all to end all and totally hyped up before it was released, there has been considerable backlash against E10 fuel. There is even a backlash in certain places and huge companies like Shell have pulled E10 from the stations due to lack of interest. There are several reasons why not to use E10 fuel for your car - here are just a few...
