Service and Maintenance of your Haval & GWM vehicle

By

Often the question is asked “Why do I need to service and maintain my vehicle at the OEM dealership” or “Why can I not do it myself or use my local workshop”?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. The OEM workshop is supported by the OEM in the form of all technicians being trained by the OEM on a regular basis to make sure that they understand and can diagnose any issue on your vehicle with the minimum effort.

The OEM also provides specialised equipment and tools to make sure that your vehicle is maintained and repaired to the original standard as it was when it left the factory. OEM workshops are audited regularly to make sure that everything is to the OEM standard and ready to maintain your vehicle.

In our modern age the technician has direct access to support from the factory via online portals. This gives the consumer the confidence to be able to drive their vehicle with complete peace of mind.

Why do we need to use OEM parts in our vehicles?

OEM parts are components engineered by the car manufacturer using the exact specifications. The advantages of using only OEM parts on your vehicle are as follows:

• It is unique to a particular make and model of a car, so there is no need to compare quality and price.

• It comes with a one-year warranty.

• It is always a perfect match for your car.

The importance of having your vehicles wheel alignment checked on a regular basis.

Maintaining proper wheel alignment is essential to avoid unnecessary wear on your tyres, steering, suspension and brakes. Accurate wheel alignment optimises driving stability, maximises tyre life and improves your vehicle’s overall handling performance.

At CMH Haval Cape Town we pride ourselves on having all OEM equipment in place and our technicians are constantly updating themselves with the latest OEM data to keep your vehicle performing at optimum levels. We have a qualified wheel alignment technician on site for your convenience.

5 Ways to Prep for a Long Road Trip

By

Whether you’re embarking on a spring break road trip or just heading out for an afternoon drive, these tips will make the journey more joyful and less “are we there yet?”

From the road trip games to the road trip snacks, there’s a lot to love about road trips—but poor planning can take your joyride from a great time to a total stress event. Ensure the success of your next road trip with these smart road trip tips, which will ensure your drive goes smoothly, even if poor weather or a roadside catastrophe strikes.

Find the right car organizer for your needs, download, or update your preferred driving directions app, and get excited to start driving: These road trip tips will ensure everything else (other than picking a destination or route, of course) is taken care of.

Give your car a check-up

Check your fluids (oil, brake, transmission, and wiper), tyre pressure, and treads, Assess the wear on your tyres with a coin: Press the edge of the coin inside the tyre groove. If you can see the top of the head, the tyre needs replacing. If wiper blades make noises or leave streaks, get new ones before you hit the road.

“You don’t want to find out your wipers don’t work while you’re on the highway in a deluge of rain,”. Make sure your first aid kit is stocked, and program a roadside service number into your phone to save yourself if a tyre goes flat.

Plan your route

Aim to find a single spot where you can take a break, get gas, eat, use the bathroom, and spend time outside. The app is a great way to discover fun locals that can turn a break into a quick, family-friendly diversion. On a longer trip, take a break every two hours or 100 miles. It’s good for your body and will make you a more alert driver.

Pack it right

Look up your vehicle’s GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) in the manual to find out how much total weight your car can hold. Subtract the car’s curb weight and passenger weight to calculate how many kilos of luggage you can add. Don’t overload your car, which is bad for gas, mileage, tyres, and safety. When you pack, stock-heavy items low and toward the car’s centre, putting progressively lighter items on top. This method limits the danger from projectiles in a sudden stop and, by keeping the car’s centre of gravity low, can help prevent rollover.

Set up your seat

Adjust the seat height to keep your hips slightly higher than your knees. If you have bucket seats, you may want to place a cushion or rolled towel behind the small of your back. The steering wheel should be close enough that you can grip it without locking your elbows. The old “10 and 2” hand position is no longer considered the safest, due to steering wheel airbags. Instead, try 9 and 3. Once you’re comfortable, adjust your mirrors so you can see out of them without craning your neck.

Maximize mileage

Frequent braking and accelerating can put a dent in your gas budget (and annoy passengers!), so use cruise control on highways to maintain speeds. The way you pack can also affect mileage, especially when you stock things on the roof: Reserve that spot for light but bulky items, like sleeping bags.

5 Car Noises that Require Immediate Attention

By

Does your car sound different than it has before? Is there a sound you’ve noticed for a while and ignored? Listening to your car is actually very important as the sounds it makes can be a clue that something is not right.

1. Squealing or Grinding Brakes A common noise that a car makes could be related to your brakes. Squealing or grinding sounds can be due to the brake pads or shoes being worn down. In other words, your car may not have enough brake pad thickness to keep the metal components from touching. If you catch this early, you may only need to replace the pads. However, unsolved brake problems can cause brake failure, as the components of the brakes touching directly can damage the discs. When brake parts are worn out, they’ll lose effectiveness to the point where they might fail completely. Once this level of damage occurs, your braking system may become unsafe and unpredictable. Other causes may include brake callipers that were incorrectly mounted or have somehow come loose.

2. Hissing or Chirping Engine Hissing sounds coming from your engine can suggest that it is overheating, or the exhaust system or catalytic converter is plugged. A hiss may also point out a vacuum that has leaked. Noises can also be due to engine fluids leaking into hot exhaust parts. This could cause damage to your engine and are also dangerous fire hazards. Chirping sounds can suggest that the timing or serpentine belt in the engine has become loose or damaged. Some automotive belts can be adjusted, whilst others must be replaced. If left unaddressed, these engine issues will become worse which could be a danger to your safety and will inevitably end up costing more to repair.

3. Rattling Wheels/ Steering Wheel The rattling noise in your car wheels could indicate that something isn’t right with the way they are attached to the car. For example, a lug nut may have come loose and started rattling as the wheel turned around. Noises from your steering wheel may indicate low power steering fluid or damage to a component in the steering column. Issues with these car components can make the vehicle harder to manoeuvre as the problem develops, making your vehicle dangerous to you and other cars on the roads.

4. Rumbling/ Exhaust pops If your car sounds like it is rumbling when you accelerate, there could be a hole in your muffler. Although holes in your muffler are not detrimental to car performance, they are dangerous since they may allow dangerous fumes to leak into the passenger compartment. A popping noise can also indicate that there are leaks in the fuel injector, resulting in engine damage or increased fuel consumption and poor emissions.

5. Whirring Acceleration Worn-out universal joints, parts needing lubricant, or a faulty torque converter are all causes of engine whirring when your car is speeding up. In addition to its many gaskets, hoses and wires, your car’s engine also has several rotating belts. Over time, these belts can stretch or crack as they circulate at high speeds around a system of pulleys which can be another cause of the whirring sound. It is important to check this noise out because replacing worn out parts can prevent severe problems from occurring. Noises can give you great clues as to what issues your car is facing and can help indicate what aspects of your vehicle need altering. Never ignore a noise emitted from your car no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, as it is always better to be safe rather than sorry.

How to Change a Tyre

By

Experiencing a tyre blowout can be scary – you need to make sure you are in a safe place and a calm state before following our advice on how to change a tyre. What equipment do you need? Apart from the spare wheel, you will need the following: *Wheel Spanner – for taking out the wheel nuts *Jack – for lifting the car up *Wheel chock – to stop the car from rolling when jacked up *Wheel nut key – if locking nuts are fitted *Car handbook – for reference You can also carry: *Torch – (check batteries regularly) *Gloves – wheels will be dirty *Reflective jacket – to make you visible *Warning triangle – to alert other drivers to a hazard/obstruction *Short plank of wood – as a flat surface to steady the jack *Tyre pressure gauge – for checking the new tyre is fully inflated 1. Prepare the car Apply the handbrake and remove all passengers from the car. Take the spare wheel and necessary tools out of the boot. 2. Position the wheel chocks/bricks Shocks prevent the car from rolling while jacked up. Position a chock on the opposite wheel to the one with a puncture. For example, if your left-front tyre has a puncture, put a chock behind the right-rear wheel. If your left-rear tyre is flat, you need a chock in front of the right-front. Use chocks for both front/rear wheels (as appropriate) if you have them. Bricks or large rocks can do the same job if you don’t have a dedicated chock. 3. Loosen the wheel nuts It’s easier – and safer – to do this while the car is on the ground. You may need to lever off a plastic wheel trim first. CMH Haval Pinetown How to Change a Tyre Turn the wheel wrench anti-clockwise and loosen the nuts to the point where they can be turned by hand (be warned – they may be tough to loosen). However, don’t remove them completely yet. 4. Jack the car up All cars have dedicated jacking points – consult your handbook to see where these are. Aim to position the jack at the side of the car, close to the punctured wheel. Placing a small plank of wood under the jack will help keep it stable. Raise the car slowly until the flat tyre is 10-15cm off the ground. 5. Take out the flat tyre Fully loosen and remove the wheel nuts, then gently pull the tyre towards you until it comes free. Place it flat on the ground. 6. Mount the spare wheel Slide the spare wheel onto the protruding hub bolts, or in line with the wheel nut slots (warning: it’s heavy to lift it off the ground to do this). Replace the wheel nuts and tighten them by hand. 7. Lower the car and tighten the bolts Use the jack to drop the car down slightly, so that the spare tyre is in contact with the ground. Now use the wrench to fully tighten the wheel nuts. 8. Fully lower the car Bring the car fully down to earth and remove the jack. Consider giving the wheel nuts a final check for tightness. Stow the jack and the other tyre in the boot, along with the rest of your equipment. Note: if your car has a space saver, the old wheel will take up more space in the boot. 9. Check the spare tyre pressure If you have one, use a tyre pressure gauge to check the spare wheel is fully inflated. Alternatively, drive carefully to a petrol station and use the gauge there. Pump up the tyre to the recommended pressure – as detailed in the handbook – if necessary. 10. Take your punctured tyre for repair Visit a garage or tyre fitters at the first opportunity and give them your punctured wheel. They will advise whether to repair or replace it. How to Change a Tyre Spare Tyre Don’t drive on a space-saver spare wheel for longer than is strictly necessary – they are only intended for emergencies.
