After traveling by car remember to do 18 maintenance or easy to leave “hangover”

After

little vacation, car parts have a lot of wear and tear, if not timely maintenance, will affect later use. So long after maintenance can not be ignored. Car guru combed 18 Notes returning after a long and very full, eleven also be used. Recommended collection.

1, to maintain the focus of anti-rust paint

due to the complexity of rural roads, vehicles externally generated significant scratches, dented traces, in particular the position of the front bumper. If a scratch occurs, the vehicle to make timely external paint treatment. Rusty metal under the paint, until the owner observed from outside, inside the metal layers have been so badly corroded.

2, the hub of the nursing

hub itself there is a metal protective film, so special attention to cleaning Do not use paint brightener or other abrasive materials. Be careful during driving, avoid scratching caused to the hub ldquo; rdquo ;, Mishap Once you have scratches or deformation, should be repaired and repainted as soon as possible.

3, examine the various ldquo; rdquo oil;

coolant level should be in the cold car to antifreeze can be added to the intermediate of upper and lower limits. If you want to self-examination, do not when the engine is running or stopped within one hour to open the tank lid. So as to avoid the discharge of high-temperature water tank and burns.

Of particular mention is to check the brake fluid. Since the brake fluid in the brake pipe back and forth, a metal powder brake master cylinder and the brake fluid to seep inside. Over time, it will produce sludge and other impurities, viscosity increases, it will directly affect the braking force of the vehicle, the specific performance of the owners feel the brakes too ldquo; soft rdquo ;, so owners each driving 20,000 to 40,000 km, it is necessary replace the brake fluid.

4, chassis care

If the chassis abnormal noise, jitter steering wheel, a parking position of the vehicle occur phenomena such as grease, on the Description chassis has been damaged. This is because the road obstructions scratches chassis, the chassis could lead toSome deformation of parts, in particular the arm up and down, left and right directions drawbars easily deformed.

Some seem slight touch scratch also cause oil pan and other minor leak occurred, possibly because it was loud and did not blunt unnoticed. These are the owners of their own to discover the problem can not be detected.

5, the whole car inspection glass

not be able to visually observable on the glass after the oil dip, wiper wiped but performance will thus be greatly reduced at this time you must use a cleaning agent to remove these fat lipids. There are those permanent scratches due to wipers and windshield gravel inclusions caused by stones and trauma caused by the crash of glass, and therefore can not ignore the detection of the whole car glass.

6, check the air cleaner vapor

If you are traveling on the way than the city dust, the air filter It is clear during this time it is possible to adsorb excessive amounts of dust and dirt into the engine if it will cause wear of various components within the engine; the air filter blockage would cause poor engine intake, decreased power. So remove the air filter, check is very necessary.

7, check the brake system

through the tire rims of aluminum alloy surface was visually brake disc. Original brake disc surface is smooth, if there are obvious groove, the vehicle may be traveling in the gravel surface, some small gravel stuck between the brake discs and the fender, the constant friction brake disc surface, so there are grooves . When

this happens, the vehicle is traveling may be issued ldquo; clatter, clatter rdquo; sound, in some cases, will instantly hear screams.

8 , the steering system concept detector

The owner may compare the vehicle longitudinal leave any obvious changes, if the steering wheel jitter, vehicles parked position occurs grease and other phenomena, it means that the steering system has been damaged. In addition, the vehicle is traveling severe vibration will damage the steering systems, steering gear should be observed for loose ball.

9 , The system detects the suspension

If a long time in the car muddy road potholes, or rolling surfaces crossing at high speed hard object, a vehicle suspension system subject to a strong impact, should carefully look at whether the suspension after the end of the journey and reduce morning portion of oil leaks or distortion of the phenomenon and found that the problem should be repaired or replaced when.

10 , the transmission detector is

Note that jumps out of the clutch, or the so-called ldquo; tooth jump rdquo ;. To know whether ldquo; rdquo ;, just jump dental attention engine rotation speed of the car, if the engine rotation speed is fast, but the speed of the car and there is no corresponding forward rate, it is clear, the car has been something wrong with the clutch.

If some strange noise occurs, the transmission is synchronous wear, when changing gear will feel very rough like sand.

11 , abnormal tire surface

first response tire pressure measurement, to maintain the same four tire pressure, tire pressure if there is an abnormally low, will have to carefully observe whether the tire has been punctured, anything to be repaired. If the wound is too large or wound appeared in the walls of the tire, it can only replace new tires. Rub curb other causes sidewall bulge or injury, need to directly change the tire.

12 , prevention of oil leakage

Check powertrain, driveline oil leaks. SUMMARY There are several major components (such as engines, transmissions, rear axle) and so there is no oil leakage.

13 , clean the engine oil

If you leave to return home outing, the conditions behind in some areas, not necessarily high-grade gasoline supply . If a low-grade petrol or gasoline of poor quality, on the one hand engine knock, noise; on the other hand tends to exhaust three-way catalyst i.e. a catalyst failure, and thus unacceptable emissions, but also partially block the exhaust pipe, due to poor exhaust, engine performance weakness, and increased fuel consumption. Serious cause enginePortion damaged parts, such as piston top blow like.

14 , the car clean

inevitably long-distance traveling by car on the way to eat and drink in the car, an inattentive, food debris will fall in car nook in the corner, if not a long time to clean up, it will generate mildew, greatly affect the air quality inside the vehicle. The best drive the truck to the beauty shop, sauna machine with a high temperature interiors and professional cleaning agents disinfection, so that the car can not only remove dirt, odors, while also effectively kill bacteria.

15 , an inner fog headlights

Most vehicle headlamp not sealed, at the rear has an air vent. When the humidity and the temperature difference between inside and outside the headlight may produce a small amount of mist is large in the inner wall of the globe, usually after a period of time will turn on the headlights automatically disappear. If the fog is likely to be a great big shade caused by poor sealing.

First step: unplug the lamp power jack.

The second step: disconnect the power connector, the waterproof cover behind the lamp removed.

Third step: open the headlights 15 minutes, the water vapor will evaporate, does not remain in the headlight.

The fourth step: the waterproof cover catch, and then the sealant to seal the edges of the cover of the headlight.

16 , skylights detection

After a long travel, sunroof easily accumulated sand, leaves and other foreign matter, if not cleared it will be increased wear and tear, or even blocked drainage channels. Clean-up sunroof track is very simple, just use wet cloth to sand, foreign objects in the vicinity of the groove can be sucked out.

17 , battery detection

After a long drive, an external battery to be inspected for corrosion or slack joint, crack or presser relaxation. If the battery is a battery corrosion spilled liquid, a mixed solution of baking soda and required warm water washing, the grease in the joint outer coating to prevent further corrosion. If the connection is loose fitting, must tighten the nut of the clip, but not too tight, to be able to tightenRemains fixed in its position on the battery can, too tight will damage the battery case.

18 , air conditioning check

carefully check the air conditioning refrigerant storage tank is located in front of the returning travelers, because there are no leaks or hit bumps If the leak as soon as possible and must trap filling refrigerant (fluoride).

harsh road environment caused by air conditioning and radiator pipe a lot of dust. Some vans and station wagons air conditioning radiator and the engine radiator is not shared, so after washing the engine radiator, the radiator do not forget to clean air.
