Even If You Hardly Drive It? (Part 2)
Many car owners believe that if they drive less, they can skip servicing. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Even if your car spends most of its time parked, components like filters, fluids, and engine parts degrade over time. At Chandler Motor Company, your trusted Peugeot Specialist, we recommend annual servicing to maintain performance and prevent costly repairs.
In this second part of our “Why Annual Servicing is Essential” series, we focus on the importance of air and fuel filters and why neglecting them can lead to reduced performance, poor fuel economy, and potential engine damage.

🌬️ The Importance of an Air Filter
Your air filter plays a crucial role in keeping dirt, dust, and debris from entering your engine. Over time, it can become clogged, which affects engine performance in multiple ways:
🚨 Restricted Airflow – Less air means the engine runs inefficiently.
🚨 Poor Fuel Combustion – The wrong air-to-fuel ratio leads to incomplete combustion.
🚨 Reduced Acceleration – A dirty filter can make your engine struggle when you press the accelerator.
🚨 Increased Fuel Consumption – The engine burns more fuel to compensate for poor air intake.
💡 Expert Tip: Replacing your air filter once a year ensures smooth airflow and optimal fuel efficiency.

⛽ Why Your Fuel Filter Needs Regular Replacement
Even though fuel is processed in clean facilities, it can pick up contaminants from delivery trucks and storage tanks at petrol stations. This means that every time you refuel, tiny particles of dirt, rust, and debris can enter your system.
What Happens When a Fuel Filter Gets Clogged?
❌ Blocked Fuel Injectors – Causes uneven fuel delivery and engine misfires.
❌ Reduced Fuel Efficiency – Dirty fuel can make your car consume more fuel than necessary.
❌ Engine Stalling – A clogged filter can prevent fuel from reaching the engine properly.
❌ Hard Starting – You might struggle to start your car, especially in cold weather.
Peugeot models are designed with specific fuel filtration systems, which need to be maintained for peak performance. Our team at Chandler Motor Company follows the manufacturer’s guidelines to replace filters at the right intervals, ensuring your car runs smoothly.
