Winter car troubles car maintenance tips

When winter comes and feels the cold in winter, do car owners have more thoughts on car care and more maintenance? How to maintain your car, it is still very elegant.

Body Care In this season of heavy frost, rain, and snow, body cleanliness is essential. The whole body was cleaned up and down again before and after, checked again, repaired defects, and made a waxing beauty care. Because the number of days after freezing in the cold and brushing vehicles will be reduced after the winter, waxing in the early winter is a good way to maintain the paint. In addition, the waxed body is not easy to be exposed to water. In winter, the paint is less prone to condensation and ice formation.

The adverse climatic conditions of the engine maintenance will have a great impact on the engine. To reduce the degree of impact, the engine shall be ensured to work stably. It is very important to carefully maintain the engine before entering the winter. In the maintenance, we should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Timely replacement of engine antifreeze If the antifreeze concentration in the engine cooling water is too low, the engine water will freeze, causing the vehicle to fail to start in the morning. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the concentration of antifreeze, and it is generally possible to maintain it at 70%. Tan Gong also said that even in the south, it is necessary to increase the concentration of antifreeze solution. Add a bottle at ordinary times. At this time, two bottles should be added, generally no more than 50%. Pay attention to different brands of different models of products do not mix, but also according to the model to choose different regular brand of antifreeze, if the use of poor quality antifreeze, not only will increase the water temperature, but also will corrode the engine.

2. The cooling system checks that the cooling system not only controls the operating temperature of the engine in the winter, but also adjusts the temperature of the cab through the warm air to ensure the comfort of driving. First of all, we must first check whether the cooling system leaks, from minus thirty degrees Celsius to over one hundred degrees Celsius above zero. Due to the thermal expansion and contraction of cooling system components, small leaks will become very serious, so we must find that the leakage must be The second is to check the working status of the cooling system, especially the thermostat can not be opened too early, can not be opened too late, but can not install the thermostat; Third, to check the quality of the coolant and liquid level, The antifreeze that normally lasts for more than two years needs to be replaced. For antifreeze mixed with other brands, or antifreeze added with plenty of water, it should be replaced in less than two years.

3, check and replace the spark plug Spark plug after long-term use, the gap will become larger, the corresponding ignition energy will gradually weaken, the winter mixture gas formation is poor, if the ignition energy is low, can lead to cold start bad.

Tyre pressure should not be too low. Tyre pressure should not be too high, but it should not be too low. The outside temperature is low, the tire pressure is too low, and the soft tire is severely accelerated. In the winter, it is necessary to clean up the inclusions in the tread pattern, try to avoid using tires that have been repaired more than once, and replace the tires that have worn more and different patterns of different brands. The wear inside and outside the tire is very different. In order to ensure the safety to reduce the wear, the tire should be regularly balanced by four wheels to change the tire position.

When the wiper is stuck in the snow, do not use hot water. If you find that the wiper is stuck to the windshield by the snow in the morning, do not wash it directly with hot water. It is easy to make the window burst due to temperature changes and the wiper is deformed. The correct method should be to open the air conditioner to hot air, the wind model for the front windshield, until the wiper naturalization, but also do not forget that the wiper spray bottle need to add antifreeze glass water.

Battery maintenance The battery is most afraid of low temperature. Under low temperature environment, the battery capacity is much lower than that at normal temperature. Therefore, before the onset of the cold season, the battery electrolyte should be added to adjust the proportion of electrolyte. At the same time clean the battery terminals, and coated with special grease to protect, ensure reliable start-up, extend battery life. If the vehicle is parked in open or cold storage for several weeks, the battery should be removed and stored in a warmer room to prevent the battery from freezing.

Change the blackened light bulb in the black light bulb should be replaced as soon as possible, and check the fog lights and brake lights. In winter, it is prone to fogging, low visibility, and a lot of rear-end accidents. Therefore, whether fog lamps and high-level brake lights work normally is also a guarantee of driving safety in winter.

The above is some common sense about winter car maintenance. We hope to bring you some help and let your car safely in winter!
