G-Spot Engineering & Mechanical in Collinsville can perform a range of radiator repairs on most vehicles, including:

 Car engine cooling system failures rank among the top three causes of roadside breakdowns in Australia, with radiator failures accounting for a large percentage of these.

A fully functional radiator and cooling system is essential in preventing overheating, which can cause expensive breakdowns and may result in serious engine damage. Modern engines also operate more efficiently within specific temperature ranges.

Not all cooling system failures are explosive in nature; in most cases it's a slow process that may start with you noticing puddles under the car or having to top off the coolant level regularly. These are often signs your radiator may be leaking.

The temperature gauge may indicate a high coolant temperature in slow traffic but returns to normal during high speed driving. In some cases, you may notice a sweetish, “hot water” smell coming from the engine, or even notice actual steam coming from under the bonnet. All these symptoms are serious and should not be ignored. 

Not only do we replace radiators in cars but we also replace Truck Radiators at G-Spot Engineering & Mechanical. Here is one we did recently.

All Repco Authorised Service centres employ highly trained technicians who are qualified to spot and correct problems which not only affect radiators, but all parts and components of modern engine cooling systems.

When you have your cooling system inspected at a Repco Authorised Service centre, you gain the peace of mind that comes with knowing your vehicle's cooling system is up to the task of keeping your engine running at optimal temperatures.

Is your vehicle ready to take on the cold seasons ahead? As the chill sets in, it's time to talk about an essential component of your car that often goes unnoticed until it stops working – your car battery. Here at G-Spot Engineering & Mechanical, we're all about keeping your ride smooth and trouble-free, and today we're shedding light on why your car battery deserves a little more attention, especially when the temperatures drop.

First things first, let's talk about why cold weather is a real test for your car battery. As the temperature falls, the oil in your engine thickens. Your battery then needs to work harder to churn the engine to life. It's like asking someone to sprint in knee-deep surf; it requires a lot more effort. If your battery is showing signs of weakness, that sprint might just be too much, leaving you stranded with a car that won't start.

Moreover, cold temperatures can significantly decrease your battery’s efficiency. At 0°C, a battery loses about 60% of its strength, yet your vehicle needs twice as much power to start. It’s a double-edged sword that can lead to unpleasant surprises on chilly mornings.

Here’s a heads-up from the team at G-Spot Engineering & Mechanical: If your battery is over 3 years old, it’s time to start keeping a close eye on it. Batteries, like most things, have a life span, and as they age, their performance dips. We recommend testing your battery regularly once it crosses the three-year threshold. This small step can save you a ton of inconvenience down the road, ensuring that your vehicle is reliable when you need it the most.

If you're on the hunt for a new battery or want to ensure yours is still in peak condition, look no further. We’re proud stockists of ACDelco Batteries, which are sealed and maintenance-free, perfect for passenger vehicles, 4x4s, utes, vans, and SUVs. Plus, for those of you who live life on the go, we’ve got a selection of Deep Cycle batteries for Dual Battery Systems and a range of reliable Truck Batteries to keep your heavy-duty companions running without a hitch.

This nifty tool gives us an instant read on your battery's health, and if it’s time for a replacement, we can sort that out swiftly, ensuring you’re not left in the lurch.

Did you know that Diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency of all internal combustion engines (ICE) which means they tend to be more efficient than petrol engines? Efficiency aside, there are other factors that make diesel engines different to petrol engines.

How often should a diesel engine be serviced?

Because diesel engines suffer from carbon build up which can cause damage to the engine - it's important to stick to a regular service schedule, so any problems can be identified early. Neglecting to do so can lead to very expensive repairs.

Diesel vehicles have a different type of plug called a Glow Plug….What's a glow plug?

In a diesel engine a glow plug heats the cold fuel ready to be ignited under pressure, diesel engines don't use a spark to ignite like petrol engines.

What oil should I use in my diesel - Do I need special diesel oil?

Yes. Oils that are created for use in diesel engines are different to oils for petrol engines, they have extra additives to help clean the engine and more.

You might have a worn or damaged turbo charger shaft seal, which could lead to bigger problems.

Find out more about why your Diesel Engine may be using more oil
