Improper Driving Habits: Aggressive driving, rapid acceleration, and excessive idling can lead to increased fuel consumption and higher smoke emissions.

Effects of Smoke Belching

Smoke belching has several detrimental effects on both the environment and human health:
Air Pollution: The smoke emitted during incomplete combustion contains harmful pollutants, including particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants contribute to air pollution and can have adverse effects on air quality.
Health Risks: Inhalation of smoke from belching vehicles can cause respiratory problems, including coughing, wheezing, and exacerbation of asthma symptoms. Prolonged exposure to air pollution can also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and respiratory disorders.
Environmental Impact: Smoke belching contributes to environmental degradation, affecting ecosystems, plants, and wildlife. It also contributes to the formation of smog, which impairs visibility and has negative impacts on overall environmental health.

Ways to Address Smoke Belching
Reducing smoke belching requires a collective effort from vehicle owners, drivers, and regulatory authorities. Here are practical measures to combat this issue:
Regular Vehicle Maintenance: Ensure regular maintenance and servicing of vehicles, including engine tune-ups, fuel system checks, and timely replacement of worn-out parts. This helps maintain optimal engine performance and minimize smoke emissions.
Use High-Quality Fuel: Choose reputable fuel stations and opt for high-quality fuels that meet recommended specifications. High-quality fuel improves combustion efficiency, reducing smoke emissions.

Responsible Driving Practices: Practice eco-friendly driving habits, such as avoiding aggressive acceleration, maintaining steady speeds, and reducing unnecessary idling. Smooth driving techniques promote fuel efficiency and reduce smoke emissions.

Conclusion:
 
Smoke belching from vehicles is a pressing environmental issue that demands our attention. By understanding its causes, recognizing the adverse effects on air quality and human health, and implementing practical measures to reduce emissions, we can make a positive impact on the environment. Through responsible vehicle maintenance, fuel choices, and responsible driving practices, we can contribute to cleaner air, healthier communities, and a more sustainable future. Let us all work together to combat smoke belching and create a cleaner, greener environment for generations to come.

Tech Tips: Nissan Patrol Clutch Kits

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 


Relates to: Nissan Patrol Clutch Kits

Background: In applications fitted with Vacuum Power Assist, Non Release or the inability to select gears can be experienced in some cases. Where this occurs, CI recommends investigation of the Actuation System as the first step in trouble shooting. After fitment of the new clutch assembly to the machined flywheel in accordance with Manufacturers recommendations we recommend applying the following 3 step process:

A. Clutch Bleeding:
 
  1. Most models have a coiled or spiral type line to the flexible hose. This coiled line can make bleeding of the hydraulics difficult. Some installers have found that replacing the coiled line with a genuine Nissan flexible line to the slave cylinder (part # 30855-01J10) decreases the chance of trapped air after bleeding.
  2. . Insure bleeding procedure is completed and the line is free of air.
 
B. Vacuum Booster adjustment:

A worn vacuum booster diaphragm can be the cause of faulty booster operation. Investigate the condition of the diaphragm and replace (suggested replacement – Nissan part # 30684-01J25 found in Nissan parts section 470) if required.
  1. The booster is adjustable at the output rod of the booster (Ref Fig #1) and between the booster and the Master Cylinder (Ref Fig #2). After the booster is rebuilt, ensure that the adjustment of the push rod into the master cylinder is correct. Correct adjustment should be 1.30 – 1.55mm below the surface of the alloy mounting adaptor. If a non genuine master cylinder is used, back off the push rod and place bearing blue on the pushrod end, bolt up the master, and then remove. Repeat until the pushrod is barely touching the piston of the master cylinder.
  2. The clutch pedal is adjustable for height. The pedal height should be from floor to face of pedal. Please correct for model specification – Pedal Height “H” Measured from floor panel to pedal pad.
Wagon – RD28ETi & TD42 –                           195 – 205 mm
Wagon – TB42, TB45E, TB48DE & ZD30 –    200 – 210 mm
Cab Chassis – TD42 –                                    185 – 195 mm
Cab Chassis – ZD30 –                                    200 – 210 mm
     3.  Adjust the pushrod (Fig 2.) 1 to 3 mm on the booster to correctly set any pedal free play.

C. Pivot Ball / Throw-out arm
  1. These vehicles can cover high kilometres in difficult conditions. This creates the potential for significant wear in both the pivot ball and the socket in the throw-out arm.
  2. This wear may be disguised by dirt or grime. Clean the mechanism and inspect both the pivot ball and the socket in the throw-out arm for wear.
  3. Restore the pivot point to the correct position as necessary.
Conclusion:
In many cases Non Release or the inability to select gears can be an actuation fault rather than a clutch Kit fault. We recommend the 3 step trouble shooting process be applied to ensure correct function of the clutch kit.

Relates to: 4Terrain Clutch Kits

Background: Non-release can be an issue in 4Terrain applications if care is not taken when handling the Clutch Plate. In extreme cases the plate can be bent when dropped or when heavy items are stacked onto the clutch plate. The clutch plates are made to tight run-out tolerances. If care is not taken when handling the clutch plate, the rigid steel ring backing the button organic friction material can be deformed enough to make it difficult to disengage the clutch.

Solution: Handle the clutch plate with care and do not stack anything on top of the clutch plate.

Dual Mass Flywheel Replacement Kits

 


Relates To: All Dual Mass Replacement Kits
FLYWHEEL ORIENTATION
Many Dual Mass Replacement flywheels need to be installed in a particular orientation. ALWAYS check for dowel holes, timing marks or uneven bolt spacing and make sure the flywheel is oriented the correct way. Failure to do so will result in the engine miss firing or not starting.

HANDLING

Take care when handling the flywheel. Do not drop the flywheel onto the timing ring as the teeth can get damaged. If installed with damaged timing ring teeth the engine may miss fire or not start.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS
Some vehicles require the ECU to be reset after installation of a Dual Mass Replacement Kit. Failure to do so will result in the engine miss firing or not starting.

DRIVELINE NOISE

Dual mass replacement clutch kits (utilising a rigid flywheel and multi-rate clutch plate) are not as efficient at dampening driveline noises as are dual mass flywheel kits. When installing a dual mass replacement some additional noise should be expected. This noise is not detrimental to the performance or durability of the driveline components.

The Importance Of Changing The Power Steering Fluid

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 


The power steering fluid reservoir is positioned beneath the hood, normally on the passenger side, but it can also be found on the driver's side. The container is typically white or yellow, with a black lid that says "power steering" or "steering fluid" on top.

Power steering fluid is typically red, amber, pink, light, and/or clear. If it's dark brown or frothy, it's probably time to change it.

Power steering fluid keeps the hoses, pistons, valves, and power steering pump in good working order. The power steering pump will begin to deteriorate if you do not maintain the quality of your vehicle's power steering fluid by cleansing and replacing it as needed.

Although power steering fluid does not expire, if it is not changed or flushed as necessary, it will wear down in the system over time.

When power steering fluid is neglected, it can cause harm to components such as the power steering pump and power steering rack. It is far more expensive to replace these items than to service the power steering fluid.

What happens when a vehicle's power steering fluid runs out? It will make turning the vehicle considerably more difficult. In the worst-case situation, you'll damage the power steering pump, necessitating an expensive replacement.

What Exactly Is Power Steering?
A vehicle's power steering system employs engine power to help lessen the amount of effort required to turn the vehicle's front wheels. It's a technology that gives the driver more control and management of the vehicle.

Hydraulic or electric power steering systems are available. Hydraulic systems use fluid to apply hydraulic pressure to the system, which helps turn the wheels of a car. An electronic system detects how much force a driver applies to the steering wheel using an electric motor and several sensors, and then determines how much assist the system should provide.

What Is the Purpose of Power Steering Fluid?
The hydraulic fluid utilised in the steering system to form a hydraulic link between the steering wheel and the front wheels is known as power steering fluid. This reduces the amount of effort needed to turn the wheels.

Power steering fluid additionally lubricates the steering system's working parts. It reduces foaming and prevents corrosion in the power steering gear and steering pump, allowing cars to run at peak performance.

What Are the Many Kinds of Power Steering Fluid?
The fluid used inside the automatic transmission is known as automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Certain power steering systems can also use ATF. Dexron and Mercon are two ATF kinds.

Synthetic power steering fluid is a lab-created non-oil-based fluid. Synthetic power steering fluid is usually designed specifically for the vehicle or system for which it is intended. Most contemporary automobiles use synthetic power steering fluid.

Non-synthetic, mineral-based oil power steering fluids are also available for use in applications that utilise ATF fluids.

"Is power steering fluid the same as transmission fluid?" many people wonder.

While both ATF and power steering fluid are hydraulic fluids, ATF contains modifiers and detergents that are specifically designed to remove dirt and grease from the transmission system.

When Should You Replace Your Power Steering Fluid?

When you should change your power steering fluid is determined by the type of fluid used and the amount of fluid in the system. Following the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) instructions is the best approach to determine when your power steering fluid should be updated. In general, power steering fluid should be changed every five years or 50,000 miles.

There may be physical indications that the power steering fluid needs to be replaced. The power steering fluid should be light in colour when inspected. If it's dark, it's time to make a change. If you notice any dirt, debris, or sludge in the power steering fluid, it's time to cleanse the system.

When you spin the steering wheel, you may also hear a moaning or whining sound, which indicates that your power steering system needs to be checked. If turning the wheel becomes more difficult, this could be another clue that the fluid needs to be changed. If there are any leaks, you should also check the power steering fluid level.

To service steering wheel fluid, drain or flush the old power steering fluid from the vehicle and replace it with new power steering fluid. It is critical to service power steering fluid since it can assist extend the life of other power steering components.
