Differential? What's that? And what's it for? I've been told by my service advisor that I need to get it serviced, but is that on the level?Do these questions sound familiar? They're not uncommon for Temecula drivers. A lot of us in Temecula don't know what a differential is or what it's for. Every vehicle has a differential, and, yes, it does need to be serviced.

Your auto air conditioning system cools and conditions the air in your passenger compartment when you are driving around Temecula. It also removes moisture from the air to keep your windows from fogging up.A common A/C problem for Temecula drivers that visit European Autowerks is contaminated refrigerant (the gas that cools the air). The inside of the A/C hoses deteriorates over time and tiny fragments of rubber clog passages. This makes the system less efficient and overworks various components.Leaks can develop at seals and gaskets and may reduce the amount of refrigerant, causing the system to work too hard to compensate. Dirty components can have the same consequences.Ask your European Autowerks service advisor for an air conditioning system inspection to make sure everything is up to spec.European Autowerks27512 Enterprise Circle WestTemecula, California 92590(951) 225-1131http://www.european-autowerks.com ... read more
