Road safety is a crucial aspect of any transport system, and it's important to ensure that vehicles on the road are in good working condition.

One way to ensure that your vehicle meets the roadworthiness standards is by taking it to a Queensland approved licensed inspection station like SDJ Mechanical who can issue you RWC (Roadworthy Certificates) or Safety Certificate. 

In Queensland, you will need an RWC if you are transferring vehicle registraiton to a new owner, transferring registration from another state or territory or when you are re-registering your vehicle.

Located in the heart of Wandoan, SDJ Mechanical is a licensed authorised inspection station for up to 4.5-tonne vehicles. Our team of experienced and qualified technicians provide thorough and reliable vehicle inspections, ensuring that every aspect of the vehicle meets the safety standards.

During a roadworthy inspection at SDJ Mechanical, several components are checked to ensure that they are functioning as they should. Some of these components include:

Tyres should be free from buldges, cuts and punctures and from any sign of perished rubber. The tread depth will also be checked, as the legal requirement is 1.6mm although it is advisable that they get replaced when they get down to 3mm.

The brakes are one of the most critical components of a vehicle. The technicians at SDJ Mechanical will check whether the brake pads, brake discs, and brake shoes are worn out or damaged. The brake hoses, calipers, and master cylinder are also checked for any signs of damage.

The suspension is also an essential component that is inspected during a roadworthy inspection. The team at SDJ Mechanical will check for worn-out shock absorbers, damaged springs, and bushings.

The steering is another crucial component that needs to be in good condition for a vehicle to be considered roadworthy. The technicians at SDJ Mechanical will inspect the steering wheel, steering column, and steering box for any damage or wear and tear.

Lights are also checked during a roadworthy inspection. The headlights, taillights, brake lights, and indicators are inspected to ensure that they are functioning correctly.

The windscreen is also inspected for any damage or cracks that may impair the driver's vision while driving. 

The body of the vehicle will be inspected to be ensured that it is safe to drive. Significant damage or signs of rust or deterioration may deem the vehicle unroadworthy. Seat belts are also checked for any signs of damage or wear and tear.

Each of these components is inspected and tested thoroughly to determine whether they meet the set safety standards.

With our experienced and qualified technicians, you can rest assured that your vehicle is in good hands. our thorough inspection will leave no stone unturned, ensuring that your vehicle is safe and roadworthy.

A safety certificate inspection is not a comprehensive mechanical inspection on the quality, or life expectancy of a vehicle. Talk to us today about the different types of inspections available at SDJ Mechanical and which one will best suit your needs.

Passing the road test with flying colours!

SDJ Mechanical have the experience, skills and know how to identify, diagnose and solve even complex EFI issues and get your car performing the way it should. So if your fuel economy is not what it should be, or the car is running rough or in "Limp mode" bring it into our Wandoan workshop for an EFI service today.

Electronic Fuel Injection systems (EFI) in modern vehicles consist of a high pressure fuel delivery system controlled by a specialised electronic control unit, or ECU.

As many as thirty or more sensors constantly update the data available to the ECU at any given time. The ECU uses this data to determine the correct mixture of air and fuel the engine requires in order for it to perform most efficiently. This can help reduce fuel costs and minimise exhaust emissions, making regular checks of the EFI system well worth the effort even if there are no apparent problems.

If you are experiencing unusually poor fuel economy, it seems the car ‘runs rough' when idling or has developed a classic backfire there is a very good chance that there could be a problem with your EFI, or Electronic Fuel Injection System.

Another classic sign that your electronic fuel injection may need a service is when the engine runs for a short while after switching off the ignition. An apparent increase in fuel use or noticeable decrease in performance may also be related to an EFI issue.

EFI problems can sometimes be relatively simple, such as contaminated fuel from letting a fuel tank become completely empty or a clogged fuel injector. Sometimes however, the problem lies well hidden, deep within the highly sophisticated EFI System. Our Wandoan car service workshop is equipped with the specialised, advanced diagnostic testing equipment needed to be able to diagnose, service and repair your EFI.

Regular servicing or inspection of your Electronic Fuel Injection System will help your car perform more efficiently and save you money at the pump. That's real Peace of Mind. Given the complex nature of modern fuel injection systems, a qualified mechanic with specialised diagnostic equipment is best placed to service or repair your EFI.

How SDJ Mechanical diagnose & fix EFI problems

SDJ Mechanical use special computer diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is essentially a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out special fault codes which our diagnostic scan equipment is then able to extract and interpret. 

Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem. 

Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly 

Any leaks must be identified and repaired without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components. It goes without saying you don't want fuel leaking out either! 

Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned and on occasion replaced. Where necessary, some components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds. 

Sensors (or the lines connecting them to the ECU) which are faulty or damaged may need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle. Your engines ECU may prevent running of the vehicle until they are functioning correctly or it may trigger the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode'

When your cars electronic control unit (ECU) encounters data which is incorrect (or outside of known value ranges) or which it cannot process, it will set a fault code and initiate some form of warning. When such problems occur in major vehicle systems it can trigger what is known as 'Limp Mode'. As the Fuel system of a car is considered a major system, faulty or failing sensor or lines may trigger this safety function.

Limp Mode is designed to allow you to get a car to a safe location (off the road) and can protect both you and the car from serious problems that could arise from continued 'normal' operation of the vehicle. If you find your car enters limp mode you should pull over immediately and get it checked over by a qualified mechanic asap, even if the computer 'resets' itself. Cars can act quite erratically in Limp Mode.

SDJ Mechanical can help diagnose if the issue is an EFI related problem or if you need to look elsewhere for the cause of the cars behaviour.
