We specialize in diagnosing and repairing Holden’s Active Fuel Management system issues. This technology, used in L76/L77 engines, can cause specific problems that require expert attention.

Common AFM system problems we address:

  • Lifter Failure: AFM lifter collapse causing engine noise
  • Oil Consumption: Excessive oil use due to AFM operation

  • Oil System Upgrades: High-volume oil pumps and improved filtration
  • ECU Tuning: AFM system optimization or disablement
  • Preventative Maintenance: Regular oil analysis and monitoring

Why Canberra conditions affect AFM systems:

  • Temperature extremes can affect oil viscosity
  • Stop-start driving doesn’t allow proper AFM operation
  • Dusty conditions can accelerate lifter wear
  • Older engines require more frequent monitoring

We recommend more frequent oil changes (every 7,500 km) for AFM-equipped engines in Canberra to prevent lifter failure.
