Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Port Macquarie Tuning & Mechanical in Port Macquarie today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Port Macquarie Tuning & Mechanical in Port Macquarie we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

I have dealt with Port Macquarie Tuning & Mechanical for the last 13 years, and have complete faith in their work ethics and the quality of the servicing done on several vehicles over that time. Geoffrey on Google

I have a black top 20v with Haltec, quads and 272 deg Toda cams, I threw it on the rollers, done a power run and it made 84hp at the wheels, the air fuel was sitting on 10 the whole way through. After a tweak and play my tuner Mike Chad had it singing - it now makes 127 hp at the wheels and now it slides no worries, Slider4Life on AE86DrivingClub

Constantly losing radiator fuel? Take it to my mechanic Mike Chad on Jambali road, look for my car in the driveway. Marshy on RedlineGTI

The Highland Green 6.4 litre GT390 Mustang Fastback restoration continued, when the car received its wheel alignment and then delivered to Port Macquarie Tuning Services for Dyno Tune and engine run in. It recorded 345 Ft Lbs of Torque at a low 74 kph generating very quick acceleration from standing start as well as in the cruise. The Horse Power available remains constant and the power curve flat until 150 kph and then starts to drop off after 163 kph. The Autolite 4300 carburettor supplied with the car was replaced on the Dyno by a new 670 cfm Holly Street Avenger 0-81670 unit. The car was coming together at last.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

Leaking refrigerant or low refrigerant due to evaporation means your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, with a resulting increase in fuel being used up.

Therefore it is important to scrutinise the condition of the rubber seals regularly for any signs of leaks or cracking which may contribute to an ongoing loss of refrigerant.
