At Automotive Obsession in Bohle, we take routine servicing seriously—because what you don’t see can cost you. A recent job on a 2019 Ford Ranger is the perfect example of why preventative maintenance matters. The vehicle came in for a standard logbook service. No warning lights, no rough running, no issues reported by the owner. However, part of our regular servicing protocol—especially after recent wet weather in Townsville—is to recommend a fuel filter replacement. What We Found Upon removing the old fuel filter, our team inspected the fuel and immediately noticed significant contamination. The fuel had visible water content and sediment—clear signs of water ingress or dirty fuel. While the vehicle hadn’t shown any symptoms yet, it was only a matter of time before that contaminated fuel caused: Injector damage Poor fuel economy Starting issues Or worse, engine failure Our Fix To protect the engine and avoid any downstream damage, we carried out a complete fuel system clean-up: ✅ Replaced the fuel filter ✅ Removed and fully drained the fuel tank ✅ Flushed the fuel lines and pump ✅ Added Prostream fuel additive to eliminate any residual moisture and contaminants Outcome The job was finished the same day, and the Ranger now runs smoother and cleaner than ever. The customer avoided a major repair down the track—all thanks to a proactive service step. Why It Matters Here in North Queensland, sudden weather changes and high humidity mean fuel contamination is more common than people think—especially if vehicles are refuelled at busy or remote stations. You won’t always see the signs until it's too late. Even if your vehicle is running fine, don’t skip your regular servicing—and definitely don’t ignore your fuel filter replacement. If you’re in or around Bohle and it’s been a while since your last service, or you've driven through wet conditions recently—give us a shout. Let’s keep your vehicle running like it should.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Automotive Obsession in Bohle are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At Automotive Obsession in Bohle at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!
