With these solutions, MAHLE says you can maximise 4WD Maintenance

Maintaining four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicles can be challenging, given their rugged use and complex systems.
From off-road adventures to daily driving, these vehicles require specialised care to stay reliable.
This is where MAHLE says its Workshop Solutions come in, designed with the needs of mechanics and technicians in mind to offer practical, efficient tools to keep 4WDs performing at their best.
At the heart of these solutions is the MAHLE Workshop Heroes campaign, which celebrates the dedication and expertise of automotive technicians who go the extra mile to deliver quality service.

Cooling and Air Conditioning Solutions
One of the most common maintenance challenges in 4WD vehicles is keeping the air conditioning system in top condition. Dust, mud, and harsh environments can clog condensers and reduce cooling efficiency.
MAHLE’s ArcticPRO AC servicing units offer efficient refrigerant recovery, recycling, and recharging to ensure reliable climate control.
These units are built to withstand the demands of regular 4WD maintenance, saving time and improving accuracy.
After a vehicle has been off-road, MAHLE says it is a good practice to inspect the AC system for leaks or debris buildup – keeping the system clean prevents long-term issues and improves customer satisfaction.

Advanced Diagnostics and Calibration
4WDs are becoming increasingly advanced, with electronic systems controlling everything from engine performance to driver assistance features.
Diagnosing and maintaining these systems can be tricky without the right equipment.
MAHLE explains that its TechPRO diagnostic tools offer real-time fault detection and system analysis, helping technicians identify issues quickly.
Additionally, ADAS calibration tools make it easy to recalibrate sensors and cameras after repairs, keeping safety features accurate and reliable.
MAHLE recommends that you regularly update your diagnostic software to keep up with the latest vehicle models. This ensures your workshop can handle both old and new 4WD systems effectively.

Fluid Management Solutions
Keeping 4WD vehicles running smoothly also requires efficient fluid management, especially when dealing with transmission fluids, oils, and coolants.
MAHLE’s FluidPRO fluid exchange systems streamline fluid maintenance, reducing contamination risks and improving service efficiency.
These systems are designed to meet the demands of workshops handling a wide range of 4WD models, with MAHLE recommending that the transmission fluid is regularly serviced in those vehicles that are frequently used off-road to ensure optimal performance.

Supporting Workshop Heroes
MAHLE says it recognises the hard work that mechanics and technicians put into keeping 4WDs running smoothly.
It states its solutions are designed to make maintenance easier, faster, and more reliable.
From AC servicing to diagnostics and filtration, MAHLE says it is committed to providing the right tools for the job, helping workshop heroes deliver the best service possible.
