01 Belt
When starting the car engine or driving the car, it is found that the belt makes noise. There are two reasons: one is that the belt has not been adjusted for a long time, and it can be adjusted in time after discovery. Another reason is that the belt is aging and needs to be replaced with a new one.
02 Air filter
If the air filter is too dirty or clogged, it will directly lead to increased engine fuel consumption and poor work. Check the air filter regularly on a daily basis. If it is found that there is less dust and the blockage is not serious, high-pressure air can be used to blow it out from the inside to the outside and continue to use it, and the dirty air filter should be replaced in time.
03 Gasoline filter
If it is found that the fuel supply is not smooth, check whether the gasoline filter is blocked in time, and replace it in time if it is found to be blocked.
04 Engine coolant level
After waiting for the engine to cool down, check that the coolant level should be between the full level and the low level. If not, please add distilled water, purified water or refrigerant immediately. The added level should not exceed the full level. If the coolant decreases rapidly in a short period of time, you should check for leaks or go to a specialized car maintenance shop for inspection.
05 Tires
Tire pressure is directly related to the safety performance of the tire. Too high or too low tire pressure will cause bad results. In summer, the temperature is high, and the tire pressure should be lower. In winter, the temperature should be lower, and the tire pressure should be sufficient. There is also a check for cracks in the tires. When there is a safety hazard, the tires should be replaced in time. When choosing new tires, the model should be the same as the original tire.
Top 11 Car Maintenance Mistakes:
1 Give the car a cool bath after exposure to the sun
After the vehicle is exposed to the sun in summer, some car owners will give the car a cool shower, believing that this will allow the vehicle to cool down quickly. However, you will soon find out: after a shower, the car will immediately stop cooking. Because, after the car is exposed to the sun, the temperature of the paint surface and the engine is very high. Thermal expansion and contraction will shorten the life of the paint, gradually lose its luster, and eventually cause the paint to crack and peel. If the engine strikes, the repair costs will be expensive.
2 Keep your left foot on the clutch
Some drivers are always used to keep their left foot on the clutch when driving, thinking that this can better control the vehicle, but in fact, this method is very harmful to the clutch, especially when running at high speed, long-term semi-clutch The state will cause the clutch to wear out quickly. So remind everyone, don’t habitually step on the clutch halfway. At the same time, the practice of starting in second gear will also cause premature damage to the clutch, and starting in first gear is the most correct method.
3. Shift in gear without stepping on the clutch to the end
The gearbox often breaks down inexplicably. In most cases, it is because the car owners are busy shifting gears before the clutch is fully pressed, so not only is it difficult to accurately shift the gears, but also for a long time. It is a fatal injury! The automatic transmission model is also not immune. Although there is no problem of stepping on the clutch and shifting gears, many friends hurriedly put the P gear when the vehicle did not stop completely, which is also a very inconvenience. Smart approach.
4 Refuel when the fuel gauge light is on
Car owners usually wait for the fuel gauge light to come on before refueling. However, such a habit is very bad, because the oil pump is located in the fuel tank, and the temperature of the oil pump is high when it is working continuously, and immersing in the fuel can effectively cool down. When the oil light is on, it means that the oil level is lower than the oil pump. If you wait for the light to turn on and then go to refuel, the gasoline pump will not be fully cooled, and the service life of the oil pump will be shortened. In short, in daily driving, it is best to refuel when the fuel gauge shows that there is still one bar of oil.
5 Don’t shift when it’s time to shift
The engine is very prone to the problem of carbon deposition. First of all, it is necessary for car owners and friends to conduct self-inspection, whether they are often lazy and do not shift when it is time to shift. For example, when the vehicle speed is increased to a higher level and the vehicle speed does not match the jitter, the original gear is still maintained. This low-speed high-speed approach increases the engine load and causes great damage to the engine, and it is very easy to cause Carbon deposits.
6 Bigfoot slams the throttle
There are often some drivers who habitually hit the accelerator a few times when the vehicle starts, starts or turns off, which is commonly known as “three-legged oil on the car, three-legged oil when getting off the car”. The reasons are: when starting, the accelerator cannot be hit; when starting, it is easy to turn off the engine; In fact, it is not the case. Booming the accelerator makes the engine speed up and down, the load of the running parts is suddenly large and small, and the piston forms an irregular impact movement in the cylinder. In severe cases, the connecting rod will be bent, the piston will be broken, and the engine will be scrapped. .
7 The window does not lift properly
Many car owners complain that the electric switch of the vehicle glass does not work or the window glass cannot be raised and lowered in place. In fact, this is not a quality problem of the vehicle. It turns out that this is also related to the mistakes in daily operation, especially for car owners with bear children. Watch out. When using an electric window regulator, when the window reaches the bottom or the top, you must let go in time, otherwise it will compete with the mechanical parts of the vehicle, then… just spend money.
8 Forgetting to release the handbrake while driving
Some car owners did not develop the habit of pulling the handbrake when parking, and as a result, the car slipped. There are also some car owners who are worried, often pulling the handbrake, but forgetting to release the handbrake when they start again, and even stop to check until they smell burnt. If you find that the handbrake is not released when driving, even if the road is not very long, you should check it, and repair or replace it if necessary, depending on the degree of wear and tear of the brake parts.
9 The shock absorber and spring are fragile and the suspension is broken
Many car owners jumped on the road to show their superb driving skills. However, when the vehicle gets on and off the road, it will cause great damage to the front wheel suspension and sidewall. For example, the sidewall rubber of radial tires has low strength relative to the tread, and it is easy to be pushed out of the “package” during the collision process, causing tire damage. scrapped. Therefore, it should be avoided as much as possible. If you can’t get on, you can’t get on it. When you have to get on it, you should use some small methods to minimize the damage to the vehicle.
10 Long-term full direction damage to the booster pump
Because of the frequent use, the booster pump is one of the vulnerable parts on the vehicle. There is no guarantee that it will not be damaged, but there is a trick that can help prolong its service life. When you need to turn and steer, it is best to turn back a little after the end, and don’t let the booster pump stay in a tight state for a long time, such a small detail prolongs life.
11 Add mushroom heads at will
The installation of mushroom head can increase the air intake of the car, the engine “eats” a lot, and the power is naturally enhanced. However, for the air in the north that contains a lot of fine sand and dust, increasing the air intake will also bring more fine sand and dust into the cylinder, causing early wear and tear of the engine, but affecting the power performance of the engine. Therefore, the installation of “mushroom head” has to be combined with the actual local environment.
