Automotive Self care, offering a general approach that focuses on automotive, but for others it can be.
About automotive items should be checked.
1. Coolant should check the coolant level is always in Full by check when the vehicle engine and engine cooling. If the water level could drop as much volume. One of the problems occur. Which is absolutely essential. To determine the cause. Or automotive service center. To check the cause. (Do not forget to bring water to a automotive).
2. Oil. Warm up the engine check the oil level, temperature, and then shut the engine check the oil level with the shaft.
- In order to check accuracy. The automotive should be in the air is hot. And measured after 2-3 minutes to shut down the oil flow back down first.
- Pull out the oil measuring stick. Check engine oil to the measuring rod with a cloth.
- Measure the oil plug back the old stems.
- Pull the stick out of the temple again. To check the oil level at the end of the shaft measured. If the oil level is between the “F” and “L” indicates that the oil level is.
Automotive Precautions.
- Avoid adding too much oil may cause engine damage.
- Check the oil level measuring stick back up again. Oil down.
3. With distilled water and batteries. Should check with distilled water and batteries into position UPPER / LEVEL and should not exceed the level of UPPER / LEVEL If you add too much liquid electrolyte Light, a solution of sulfuric acid Rick will dilute the effectiveness. a decrease in the liquid electrolyte will spill out through the light holes to cough and erosion components. In the engine room.
Automotive Precautions.
- Distilled water to cover them.
- Positive and negative battery terminals and tighten firmly.
- The battery is fixed to the base.
4. With brake fluid. Should be inspected visually. Notice that the brake fluid bottle has a MAX and MIN level of brake fluid should be at the MAX level is always a possible cause. As a result of brake oil in the gearbox oil, brake, lower down there is 2.
- A leak of brake fluid from the brake system.
- The wear of brake pads. The brake fluid level will drop a little and very slow in this case does not need to add brake fluid if the brake fluid level in the brake fluid bottle. Dropped down fast. Should bring a automotive into the service center to check the cause.
5. With oil clutch. Should be inspected visually. Notice that the gearbox oil, the clutch is that the oil level MIN MAX with Clutch. It should be at the MAX level if that level. Clutch in the gearbox oil fell down. Should bring a automotive into the service center to check the cause.
6. AUTO oil level should be checked while the engine is on. AUTO measuring rod by pulling gear check gear oil. That measuring stick with a cloth. Then plug the stick measurement. Returned to the original oil. Pull out the measuring stick again. Check the oil level at the end of the shaft to the transmission measurement. If the oil level. Gear is an F it means that the normal fluid.
7. Check the oil level should be checked while the engine POWER is on. POWER by turning off the oil bottle cap is attached to the bottle of oil that stick to measure it with the word POWER HOT and COLD is different if measured at the engine is cold to see if you measure the engine COLD. HOT, hot, look for a new look at a plastic bottle of oil POWER. The gearbox is a HOT and COLD in different areas and competitive levels, MAX and MIN are the oil level should be at MAX POWER’s always cool to see if the engine is COLD, and if the engine heat to the HOT.
8. Check the condition of the belt. By the way, look at the belts, if cracks occur. Should be replaced early. In order to use the vehicle safely. In addition, it should check the tension. Of the belt as well. Using fingers, press down on the belt in the middle. Between the pulley sides. If you press down slightly to about 10 mm would be satisfactory (Not sure if I should check. Because such a way. Inspectors need to be skilled enough).
9. Check inside the cabin. By the way, look around inside the cabin. Notice that. There is nothing wrong or not, the radiator hoses with clean water or wires inside the cabin are good or not. I will have limited or no oil leaks or stains, etc.
10. Check the lighting. And light signals. Turn all the lights that normally or not. The tubes do not stick if you do not have light bulbs should be replaced. Ready to use. Or automotive service center to check.
11. Check the windshield wiper. Rubber wiper on time. Tend to deteriorate. The result of these causes.
- The end of the wear surface. Of the normal functioning of the ward.
- Dirt and sand tires, the profile is rounded off with a rubber wiper, glass wear.
- When the wiper blade to pass the time. Rubber wiper blades are hardened and flexibility will be reduced. And the ability. Round will take place. The contact between the rubber blade is rounded to the glass as well as wiper blades can be caused by the tremor heartbeat or other symptoms. If you experience these symptoms should change the tires, new wiper.
12. Check your tire pressure, tire pressure should be checked regularly by a tire pressure according to the manufacturer set. You should check the automotive. Do not use (the rubber is not hot) if the tire is abnormal. Should be taken to ensure that With low or no nails. Rubber eye condition. The rubber surface with small cracks or wear of the tread, the tread is worn away or not. Or unusual wear and tear such as the middle of the tread depth. (Inflate too much) I feel a bead, and two sides (tire pressure is too low), or both, which one side of these cases. Should consult the suspension should be checked and the center of the wheel is the fingernails. The rubber is soft or hard rubber is breaking down. Rubber will not be hit very hard.
Automotive maintenance manual mentioned above. How often should I do?
