CMH Renault Ballito Pro’s and Pro’s for Servicing your vehicle on Time

By

“Nice wheels,” says the guy with the cash. “But what happened between the 30 – 60 000km service interval?” He then offers you half the asking price.

Nothing cuts your vehicle resale value as a missed service, except maybe a flash flood, yet why do people hate spending money or even time on servicing their vehicles?

CMH Renault Ballito offers the following tips to ensure your vehicle is serviced on time.

No one wants to keep their vehicle forever. Just as we change, our preferences change, and so too will your vehicle preference. In order to purchase your new dream vehicle, it is imperative to ensure your current/old vehicle is in a reliable condition. Having your vehicle serviced on time will protect your resale value. Not only does a complete service record show your car has had all the right things happen at the right times, but it will also tell your buyer something about you. To service your vehicle on time shows them you care for it, which indicates you have driven it carefully and taken care of it. The service history is a test of perception.

Regular service intervals ensure the necessary parts are changed when required. It also advises on parts that may need to be changed at some stage in the future, things such as engine oil, air or oil filters and spark plugs which usually are replaced more frequently.

While everything from tyres to brakes, battery to lights and wipers will be checked regularly, some service centres will make up faults to charge the client more. If that is the case, you are at the wrong service centre. Call CMH Renault Ballito to book your vehicle service and trust your vehicle is in the utmost care while with us.

When a vehicle comes through for a service, we are able to detect problems and eliminate them before it leads to a disaster and costs you a fortune. A faulty coolant hose is cheap to replace but can ruin your engine if it is left unattended. The same applies to an oil seal. Faulty brakes or worn tyres can lead to an accident but all can be avoided by regular checks at CMH Renault Ballito.

Regular services save you money. When your vehicle is new, everything is optimised and works at its peak, overtime filters become clogged, sparkplugs lose their spark, tyres wear out or lose their alignment, and the cooling system works less. Not only will these dimmish the pleasure of driving your vehicle but will also increase your fuel consumption and affect your wallet. By regularly servicing your vehicle, be it annually or at its required service intervals, your bottom line will be taken care of which saves you money. Services prevent serious damages and expenses if done on a timely basis.

Take a note of your service intervals and what your last service was and give us a call to book your service. Contact us today for your next service. We are CMH Renault Ballito here to assist in ensuring your vehicle is taken care of.

By

The all-new Kiger is nicely displayed at CMH Renault Midrand, with a body structure that is reinforced and weight-optimized, with active and passive safety features, which include ABS+EBD, Drivers + Passenger airbags, and Side Airbags, only on Zen & Intens models. It also includes rear parking sensors & a camera with ESP exclusive to turbo engines. The Renault Kiger will guarantee you that ‘fun-to-drive’ feeling. When our customers visit our CMH Renault Midrand Dealership to either Demo or Test Drive this vehicle, we always tell them about one of the fascinating features such as the turbocharged petrol engine, which has a perfect balance between performance and efficiency, while also providing the perfect balance between comfort and performance. ECO | NORMAL | SPORT. Another selling point is the interior which is surprising in so many aspects, effectively combining technology and functionality. It is generously roomy and ultra-modern with segment-leading storage thanks to a multitude of clever cabin storage compartments throughout totalling 29 l and a best-in-class 405 l boot space.

[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”3″ display=”basic_thumbnail” thumbnail_crop=”0″]

The Renault Kiger’s cabin is intuitive boasting features normally reserved for upper segments, such as an 8-inch floating touchscreen, wireless smartphone replication, reverse camera, hands-free smart access, ambient lighting, a multi-sense driving mode system and a Premium Audio sound system. More attractive than a conventional hatch. The exterior of the vehicle is eye-catching with design cues that allude to sportiness. Strong, muscular sculpted lines with higher ground clearance, aluminium skid plates, and a sporty rear window finished off with an integrated spoiler. Finer touches to further highlight the Kiger’s aerodynamic stance. Its sculpted design, tri-octa LED headlamps, and C-shaped signature tail lamps make it stand out.

[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”4″ display=”basic_thumbnail” thumbnail_crop=”0″]

Sandero 900T Expression

By

The Sandero 900T Expression offers a lot of car for the money. It’s built to very high standards, is peppy and economical, and provides a safe and spacious cabin. The amount of tech is impressive, given that many budget cars rely on older-generation technology. The Sandero is best described as mild-mannered as far as handling is concerned. The suspension is forgiving, aided by the flex of the unusually high-profile tyres, and the body lean is noticeable, but not to the point of compromising the car’s balance. The steering displays a remoteness that mitigates against any accurate dissection of twists and turns, but at least it has some heft and feedback, and doesn’t feel as emasculated as the electrically assisted systems that have become the norm.

Even more surprising is the extensive list of safety gear, which includes two airbags, ABS brakes with EBD, Hill Start Assistance, and electronic stability control. A multifunction steering wheel, a speed limiter, front electric windows, a sound system with integrated Bluetooth offering hands-free telephony and audio streaming, remote central locking, and air-conditioning – everything’s included. It’s also spacious enough to create a big-car impression. You won’t squeeze five Super Rugby lock forwards in here, but for us normal folk, there’s plenty of head and legroom front and rear. Fortunately, that impression of toughness is supported by an interior that looks and feels very solidly screwed together. The steering wheel feels big and slightly ponderous. the instrument array is also good, with clear, round analogue dials, while the switchgear layout places most of the key controls within reach, if not always where you’d expect them to be.

Often when we have customers to Demo this make on our CMH Renault Midrand Floor, we can’t wait for them to open the bonnet, where another surprise awaits. Instead of the usual four-cylinder mill you’d expect, the Sandero is powered by the very same, high-tech three-cylinder turbo engine also featured in a Renault Clio. Rated at 66kW and 135 Nm, the all-aluminium unit is willing and able, pulling strongly from the word go, and never letting up until it starts running out of breath at around 5,000 rpm. And because it’s turbocharged, the usual 18% power loss at altitude doesn’t apply.

With forced induction allowing the engine to punch above its weight, the Sandero’s responses are eager, allowing brisk acceleration and decent open-road cruising, while overtaking isn’t the nail-biting affair you’d expect, either. CMH Renault Midrand credits the Sandero with an 11.1-seconds zero to 100km/h sprint time, while top speed comes to 175km/h. a lot of people often ask what benefits comes with it, so it comes standard with a 2 Year/30 000 Km & 5 Year / 150 000 Km Warranty Plan.

The New Renault Kwid Auto

By

The Renault Kwid is a reliable and fun car with comfort and convenience, plus an interior that comfortably seats five people and has a host of convenient features like powered windows, air conditioning, a 12V socket, centre armrest and ergonomic seats for better visibility and superior comfort. Additionally, the vehicle comes with incredible safety features including pro-sense seat belts, dual airbags, reverse parking sensors, ABS+ EBD, central locking system, refined rear axle and 14-inch wheels for better road holding, so you can travel in total safety.

Furthermore, it can assist first-time drivers who struggle to calculate distance when reversing, allowing them to manoeuvre into any parking space with ease thanks to its super clear reverse camera. As an added benefit, static guidelines provide added peace of mind. The Renault Kwid also includes a first-in-class 8” inch touchscreen display, integrated with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay®. Two speakers in front add to the appeal of this median AV evolution, enabling you to listen to music, connect your phone, read WhatsApp messages, and navigate. A USB port with fast charging is also provided. New for the Renault Kwid is the automated manual transmission that has a floor console. This revolutionary 5-speed amt transmission eliminates the need to worry when changing gears. Featuring three modes – reverse, neutral, and drive – the amt dial makes driving effortless. As standard, it comes with a 1 Year Insurance, 2 Year Service Plan, and 5 Year Warranty.

It is the perfect hatchback for first-time buyers as well as those who are looking for something sustainable and fuel-efficient. It comes with a 1.0-litre SCE engine offering the best-in-class fuel efficiency, from 4.4l/100km. 279 litres of boot space, expandable to 620 litres.

With its front disc brakes, ABS & EBD, the New Renault Kwid is extremely well equipped. ABS prevents wheel lock, vehicle skidding, whilst ABS reduces stopping distance, giving you complete control.

CMH Renault Ballito - We have moved

Four easy ways to get your vehicle ready for winter

By

Our CMH Renault Technicians suggest that vehicle batteries are always trickier during this time, as the starter draws increased amps to crack a cold engine. Many people also forget to turn off their headlights, which drains battery power. To avoid this, a battery in good working condition is essential. Remember that in cold weather a fully charged battery provides less than half the power it does in warm weather.

In addition, the following tips are suggested:

1: Batteries

Refill car battery in winter

Check the water (electrolyte) level Water must cover the fluid plates and, if necessary, top it up. Use only distilled water (water that is boiled and allowed to cool). Avoid overfilling and clean any spillage.

Keep the battery clean

Clean the terminals with warm (not hot) soapy water and remove any acid or dirt build-up, which can cause the battery to self-discharge quicker.

Secure the battery

Make sure the battery is secured properly and not moving around under the bonnet.

Charge the battery regularly

If you normally drive only short distances or use your car infrequently, you may need to take a longer (one-hour) drive each week to ensure the battery stays charged. Shorter trips, or excessive idling, are not enough to charge the battery and will shorten its lifespan.

Switch off before you switch on

Switch all other devices in your vehicle off before your switch the car on. These include the air-conditioner, radio, lights, seat warmers, windscreen wipers, and demisters.

Alternator belts

Check the belts for fraying or cracking. A loose alternator belt is a common cause of battery failure.

Service your car
Lube services

Poor engine condition can overload the battery, so ensuring your car is maintained according to the manufacturer’s specifications will extend the battery’s life. If you struggle to start your vehicle, do not crank the engine continuously as this may damage the starter, battery, and other electronic components.

2: Tyres

Wheel balancing

Tyres are one of the most crucial safety features on vehicles, and they must always be in good condition. Worn tyres are extremely dangerous in all conditions, but this danger can be multiplied in wet, snowy, or icy conditions. Vehicle owners must check their owner’s manual to determine the correct pressure to inflate to and within the manufacturer’s guidelines. This will ensure optimal road holding and extend the tyre’s life. “Vehicle owners are reminded that the law requires tyres to be in good condition and they may face stiff penalties if they are found to be substandard. The law requires tyres to have a tread of at least one millimetre; some tyres already have tread wear indicators which make determining this easier. A worn tyre should never be repaired, it must always be replaced for your, and other road users’ safety,” urges our CMH Renault Tyre Expert.

The association also advises vehicle owners that insurance policies require vehicles to be in roadworthy condition, and that worn tyres may void that condition which may lead to a repudiation of claims in the event of a crash.

3: Visibility

As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, many motorists will leave for work in the morning while it is still dark outside, requiring the use of headlights. It is essential to check that the vehicle’s headlights are working properly.

Switch off the headlights when you reach your destination, as you may have left them on after the sun came out during your journey. Park facing a wall if you can, the reflection of the lights will act as a reminder to switch them off.

If your car is parked outside overnight, you may have a layer of frost on the windscreen. Do not use warm water to clean this layer, as your windscreen may crack. Instead, use a scraper (an old credit card will do) to remove the ice. Using the air-conditioner to demist the interior of the car will also help. Make sure it is clear before you drive.

Avoid using the windscreen sprayers when driving in cold conditions as the water from the reservoir will freeze onto the windscreen, and the wipers will not be able to clear the ice.

Our CMH Renault Midrand Technicians also advise us to, “Check the condition of your wiper blades and replace them if needed and avoid cleaning mud and soil from the windscreen with the wipers as these can scratch the glass. If possible, park your car undercover at night to ensure your windscreen remains clear the next morning.”

Apart from vehicle safety checks, the Auto Mobile of South Africa (AA) also appeals to motorists, runners, cyclists, and pedestrians to be aware of different road conditions during winter, and the need for increased visibility during this time.

“Runners, cyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable during this time because decreased natural lighting – and the real possibility that streetlights aren’t working – means that other road users are less visible. Anyone who is on the road must ensure they are visible by wearing high-visibility attire. All road users must make every effort to see and be seen when they are on the road,” says the Auto Mobile of South Africa (AA).

4: Security

In addition to vehicle safety, the association says shorter days and longer nights may increase the need for greater personal security. According to Auto Mobile of South Africa (AA), opportunistic criminals use any chance they can to pounce. Days that get darker sooner provide a perfect opportunity for criminals to operate under darkness, and unsuspecting victims may find out too late that they need protection.

The All New Renault DUSTER

By

Built for adventure, the all-new Renault Duster is a vehicle of distinctive styling. The tone is set by the aggressive lines and chrome trim of the grille, alongside a raised waistline and powerful C-shaped light signature. These strong, powerful lines are enhanced by 16″ or 17″ alloy wheel rims that underline the car’s character. We also had the pleasure to be part of the Retreaters at the Camping Retreats in Magaliesburg where we took this baby out on the gravel road which was the activity venue that weekend. The interior of the all-new Renault Duster reflects its generous, adventure-seeking nature. The spacious cabin is bright and reassuring. The driver* and passenger seats provide plenty of support to ensure comfort on your journey. The upholstery features a high-quality finish, as does the dashboard, where the particular emphasis was placed on ergonomic design. Behind the steering wheel, adjustable for height and reach, TFT digital meters invite you on an inspirational and illuminated tour of discovery.

What could be more exciting than setting out on an adventure with your family or friends? It takes just a few seconds to adapt the modular interior layout of the all-new Renault Duster to your needs or requirements: the rear bench seat features a 1/3-2/3 split-fold function, while the boot boasts record loading capacity*. The Duster features an array of storage compartments around the cabin, from the doors to the seatbacks via the central console. Nothing stops the all-new Renault Duster, neither sharp slopes, nor steep tracks. Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control let you drive anywhere with ease. With the 4×4 Monitor*, you can even check the pitch and roll angles of your SUV at any time. Explore without limits. The Transmission Mode Selector* allows you to Switch between 3 driving modes. 2WD Mode – engine torque distributed to the front wheels. Automatic Mode – distribution of engine torque over the four wheels depending on grip conditions. Lock Mode – engine torque distributed to all four wheels. It lets you Drive with an easy mind, with also the Use of the hands-free card* to unlock the doors automatically as you approach the vehicle. It also allows you to start and stop the vehicle without getting the key out of your pocket and automatically locks the car as you walk away. On the road, the blind spot warning* picks up any hidden vehicles, while the speed limiter and cruise control functions help you concentrate on your driving.
