【Car owner's car knowledge】How can a car be considered to be alive? For every car owner, the definition is naturally different. Driving is an important factor related to its "health", and maintenance is another important factor. If you know how to drive your car well, you must also know how to maintain it. Just like people's daily maintenance and beauty, with careful care, the car can last for a long time.
1. Adverse reactions: a pool of inexplicable liquid leaked from the car
Cause of illness:Generally, the cause of the drip is a crack in the rubber hose connecting the coolant tank to the engine.
maintainance:The deterioration of the rust-proof quality of the deteriorated coolant will not only easily lead to damage to the radiator, pipes, hoses and other components, but also because the main component of the coolant is ethylene glycol, dripping to the ground will also cause environmental and air pollution. However, it is difficult for us to judge whether the coolant has deteriorated by visual inspection, so it is necessary to replace the coolant regularly, and do not wait for a fault to repair it. It is generally recommended that the vehicle be replaced with new coolant every 40,000 kilometers or two years, and the cooling fan belt must be replaced every two years.
2. Adverse reactions: the engine does not catch fire
Cause of illness:The failure of the starting system is likely to be caused by battery rust or battery leakage. Because the starting of the engine is completed by the current from the battery to push the spark plug to ignite.
maintainance:Check to see if the battery fluid in the battery is sufficient every two months. If insufficient, add distilled water to the appropriate height. At present, most cars use maintenance-free batteries, so do not add water without authorization. In addition, check the positive and negative terminals of the battery for rust or dirt every year. If there is, go to the 4S shop to clean it up in time to keep the circuit unblocked. After the battery is repaired, the scrapping time of the battery can be delayed, and the waste of resources and the pollution of the waste battery to the environment can be reduced.
3. Adverse reactions: the noise of the engine exhaust is large, and the exhaust gas emissions are large
Cause of illness:The exhaust gas of the engine is oxidized at high temperature, which is likely to cause leakage in the exhaust system.
Green maintenance:Check whether the pipes and interfaces of the exhaust system are corroded by exhaust gas, and whether the interface gasket is washed out. If a leak is found in the exhaust system, repair or replace the leaking parts in time. An annual inspection can not only ensure the normal operation of the exhaust system, but more importantly, reduce the pollution of harmful substances in the exhaust to the environment.
4. Adverse reactions: increased fuel consumption
Cause of illness:There are many reasons for the increase in fuel consumption. But the most common and easily overlooked is the inspection of tire pressure. Insufficient tire pressure will not only lead to increased driving resistance, resulting in increased fuel consumption, but also affect the service life of tires.
Green maintenance:Bring your own tire pressure gauge and check tire pressure frequently. Remember not to forget the inspection of the spare tire, so as not to find that the spare tire is flat when it is urgent to replace the tire. When the temperature is high, the tire pressure will be higher than usual, so it is more accurate to measure the tire pressure in cold weather or in the shade. Often the tires need to be swapped every 10,000 kilometers to avoid too much difference between the front and rear wear levels. If you need to replace severely worn tires, it is best to replace two or four tires together, and tires with the same pattern can be replaced front and rear. In addition, the zigzag pattern tires help save fuel.
