Learn these tricks to keep a car and don't overpay

Summer heat like fire, the maintenance of vehicles is also a test, especially freight vehicles, the application conditions are more complex, the vehicle has a flat tire, spontaneous combustion, water tank boiling, wiper aging and other failures of the frequency is relatively higher, not careful is likely to threaten driving safety.

As the saying goes, "three points repair seven points maintenance", DARO trailer axle summarizes a summer car overview, simple and easy to use, so that you don't have to spend more money to repair cars.

1, improve the frequency of tire pressure inspection

Summer exposure and high temperature impact on the tire is obvious, in order to ensure the safety of the vehicle, regularly check the tire pressure, control it within a reasonable range is very necessary.

It is worth noting that the tire pressure is too high or too low are prone to burst, so every time before the car, the owner should try to check the tire temperature, detect the tire pressure, according to the load of the vehicle and road conditions to adjust properly.

If the tire temperature is too high, it is important not to directly pour cold water, otherwise it is easy to lead to a sharp drop in the external temperature of the tire, and the internal temperature is high, causing tire aging and internal structural damage, and more likely to burst a tire.

2, pay attention to the coolant status, monitor the temperature of the water tank

Summer temperature is high, water tank level and water temperature meter need special attention, once the temperature exceeds 95 ° C, it is necessary to stop in time, open the engine hood for ventilation and heat dissipation. Note that when the temperature of the water tank is too high, do not directly turn off the engine, let the engine idle, and then choose to turn off the engine after cooling.

Coolant is also essential, under normal circumstances, the vehicle coolant needs to be replaced once a year, such as the owner found that the coolant is insufficient, it is best to wait until the engine temperature drops to add, so as to avoid burns. Some owners find that after the coolant is less like to add water to replace, do not do so, because the coolant can increase the boiling point and reduce the probability of the tank boiling, only adding water can not achieve this function.

3, vehicle oil inspection and replacement

As the temperature changes, the working environment of the oil on the vehicle will also change, whether it is oil or lubricating oil, try to replace the viscosity of the product suitable for summer use.

4, pay attention to car paint maintenance

Summer weather is rainy, rain down the body, easy to accumulate in the body under the side, resulting in rust, so it is best to clean the body in time after heavy rain weather.

In addition, summer car washing should also pay attention to not washing the car immediately when the body temperature is too high, which is easy to affect the adhesion of the paint. The frequency of body waxing should also be increased, so that a protective film can be added to the car paint to prevent rust.

5, the correct use of air conditioning in the car

Many owners like to enter the car immediately open the air conditioning refrigeration, so that to a certain extent will improve the engine and electrical system workload, it is recommended to enter the car after the first open the fan and Windows to let the air circulation, so that the car and outside the air temperature balance, five minutes after the air conditioning, cooling effect will be better.

In the same way, do not close the window immediately after opening the air conditioner, and then open the inner cycle after dropping to a certain temperature. At the same time, it should be noted that the temperature in the car should not be too low, otherwise it is not conducive to health.

6. Maintain the ignition system

On rainy days in summer, the truck may be wet due to the ignition system, resulting in the engine is not easy to start. In this case, you can use dry paper towels or dry cloth to dry the inside and outside of the distributor and the wires, and then spray the desiccant on the distributor cover, battery connectors, spark plugs, high voltage wires and ignition coils, etc., and wait a little to start the engine.

7, check whether the wiper is aging

Summer rain, the wiper is particularly important, if its rubber strip aging phenomenon, will not be able to completely clean the rain on the windshield, affecting daily transportation. Therefore, the owner should also remember to check the wiper, and replace the rubber strip in time once it is found to be aging.

8, do a good job of braking system cooling measures

In particular, owners who often walk long downhill sections should do a good job of cooling measures for the brake system, and install auxiliary braking devices such as water sprinkling devices or hydraulic retarders in time. At the same time, try to choose a low speed gear, through the engine torque and exhaust braking to achieve slow downhill, reduce and avoid the brake pad and brake drum for a long time friction caused by overheating fire.

9, pay attention to shaft head inspection and maintenance

It is recommended that the owner open all the axles during the shutdown of the vehicle to check and maintain them again, such as the thickness of the brake pad, the wear degree of the bearing ball, the state of grease/lubricating oil, whether the brake assembly is rusty, whether the fastener is loose, whether the gap between the camshaft and the bore is too large, etc., after all, the wheel end shaft is complex, and any small link is problematic. Could have irreversible consequences.
