Many of the owners had a common disease, and the new car had fallen in love with it in previous years and had to be dealt with quickly in order to maintain it on time, to wash it finely, and in a minor manner. But once the car had been driving for five or six years, especially ten years old, the mind had gone straight to the ground。
In a number of people's perceptions, a car that can light a fire, run a high-speed road, and do not light a broken light on its dashboard will be perfectly safe. Day-to-day maintenance can save, small problems are ignored, and it is always normal to think that old cars have minor problems and need not be too real。
But as an old driver who has been driving for more than a decade and has been in contact with countless old cars, i must remind you that 10 years is a critical watershed for private cars。
The spare parts of the new vehicles are in optimal condition, with minimal wear and tear, and the failure rate is extremely low, and simple maintenance is sufficient to maintain them on a daily basis. However, vehicles have been in use for more than 10 years, and the entire vehicle's rubber, seals, pipes and cores have largely reached the age limit. Many of the hazards are invisible, faillights are not activated in advance, and there is no obvious noise, and the probability of an outbreak is a contingency。
Many high-speed auto-burning, brake failure, motorized flat tires, and broken piped vehicles are mostly older than 10 years old. The vast majority of these accidents were not due to vehicle quality problems, but rather to long-term neglect of inspections and delays in maintenance。
Today, all owners of old cars are given a real deal, driving for more than 10 years without spending their money on the full package, but these three key locations must be regularly checked, and it is important not to lose hope, save lives and avoid 90 per cent of the risk of old cars。
I. Car-wide rubber pipeline: “time bomb” hidden in the cabin
Many of the cars are maintained by their owners, who focus only on the conventional items of oil, filtering and filtering, and never look down at the various pipes in the engine cabin. Of course, the biggest invisibility of a decade old car is hidden on these worthless rubber pieces。
Water pipes, pipelines, vacuum hoses, booster pump pipes, exhaust hoses, etc. On cars are all rubber material. The natural short plate of rubber is the fear of heat, ageing and oxidation. The engine cabin is the hottest area in the whole vehicle, with a constant high temperature of baking, cold and hot, combined with dusty oil erosion, which slowly causes the rubber to become hardened, cracked, fracked and decorated。
Eight years before the new car, these pipes were flexible and sealed, and were largely clean. However, once the age of the vehicle has reached 10 years, all original plants have almost reached the end of their useful life。
There's a real case around me, where a friend's car has been in regular maintenance for 11 years and has never checked the cabins. On a high-speed return journey on a holiday, when the engine cooled and the water pipe exploded. All the anti-frozen fluid was leaking in an instant, and the engine was at high temperatures。
The speed of the vehicle was over 100 yards and the high-speed traffic was so high that it could not park immediately. In just a few dozen seconds, the engine had a hot-threshold tank, which not only almost caused a traffic accident in the tail of the car, but ultimately cost almost a million dollars just to repair the engine, and the car had a direct devaluation。
Even more dangerous is the ageing of fuel pipelines. Once the fuel pipeline of a 10-year old car has broken apart, the vehicle will slowly seep gasoline and drop it on high-temperature engines and exhaust pipes, which are highly prone to self-burning. The risk is not known at all, there are no signs of failure, and when the owner discovers the smell or smoke, it is largely too late to remedy it。
Apart from pipes, pipelines, rubber linings on chassis, tremors, and balancing rods, cannot be ignored. A decade old car's chassis caps are basically ageing and cracking and losing buffers. Many of the owners felt that the car was operating loosely, that the speed belt was sounding, and that they were running away from the fetuses, knowing that they were paying for four rounds of locomotives and changing tyres without knowing that the root cause was the ageing of the glue。
Core recommendations for old car maintenance:
The vehicle was over 10 years old and did not need to change all the pipes blindly, but it was important for each minor maintenance to have the repair manager focus on all the rubber pipes in the cabin to see if there were cracks, drums, seeps, and hardened whites. Minor ageing was found to occur in time for replacement, spare parts were not expensive, and dozens to hundreds of pieces could be done, much more expensive than major repairs and accidents. The chassis is fractured and released and can be replaced on an as-needed basis without a direct change in total, saving a significant amount of maintenance。
Ii. Full loss package of brake systems: final line of defence for vehicle safety
The brakes, whether new or old, are the most important security configuration for the entire vehicle, none of which is available. The new brake system is stable and the replacement of fittings is largely consistent with the plant cycle, but the 10-year-old brake system cannot be viewed solely as thin。
Most of the drivers check the brakes, bending over to see how thick the brakes remain, and continue to drive as long as there is some left. The brake system is an integrated set of connecting structures, consisting of brake blades, brake plates, brake oil, brake sub-pumps, various parts of the brake pipeline, and the failure of any of these parts directly causes the brake to fail。
First of all, brake oil, which is the most easily neglected material. Brake oils are extremely water-absorbing and long-term use absorbs water from the air. For 10 years of vehicle use, even if brake oil has been replaced, there is probably a problem of fluid deterioration and water overload。
The most typical symptoms of air resistance in high-temperature conditions are the softening of the pedals, the long duration of the journey, a marked decline in brake power and the failure of brakes when the high-speed emergency brakes, successive downhill brakes occur. This risk is fatal as mountains and highways travel。
Next is the brake drive. Many people change brake plates and never brake plates. The brake plates and brake blades are worn each other, driving down over 10 years, and there will be deep troughs on the surface of the brake plates, wear and tear limits, and the plates will be constricted。
If the brakes are too worn, even if they are replaced by brand-new brake plates, there will be problems with brakes shaking, power imbalances and the sound of brakes. In case of emergency brakes, vehicles are highly vulnerable to lopsided, sideways, and brakes fail in the rainy days。
In addition to this, 10-year old brakes are easily strained and dustproof, and the inner walls of the brakes are blocked. Many old cars have problems with unilateral brake fever, abnormal tire wear and slow brakes, caused by these invisible failures。
I've had a lot of old car accidents, either by the owner of the car speeding, by mistake, or by the ageing of the old brake system, and by the tails and crashes caused by the lack of power during emergency brakes. It could have stabilized the distance and ended up in a car accident。
The old brakes maintenance core proposal:
More than 10 years old, priority is given to monitoring the amount of brake oil and, as long as direct replacement exceeds the standard, it is recommended that the official brand of brake oil be selected and that the replacement be completely empty. Check the depth of the brakes, which are too deep, deformation of the discs and do not allow for cd-rom repair at very low value. At the same time, checks are made on whether the brake line is impregnated, whether the subpumps are stuck, and the entire brake system is thoroughly screened to ensure that the brakes are robust, which is the bottom line for driving。
Iii. Car-wide circuits and bottled systems: high source of invisible malfunctions head
Many owners wonder why their 10-year old cars, engines, gearboxes are good. Why are there frequent problems with fire out, fire out, electrical malfunctions, holograms
The central reasons are the ageing of the ten-year old car's circuits, the decline in the bottle, and the decline in generator work。
The car's full of insulated rubber. It's been baking through high temperatures, rain, dust and corrosiveness. A ten-year period of friction would be enough for the insulation of the lines to age, crack, fall and break。
The exposed copper wires have light short circuits, power leaks, iron lifts, light leads to flashing of light inside the vehicle, failure of medium control, loss of electricity in the car window, bottle, and heavy triggers short circuits and spontaneous combustion of the entire vehicle. Line failure is more subtle and difficult to trace than the ageing of the pipeline and is one of the core triggers for self-burning of older vehicles。
In addition, the normal life of ordinary lead-acid cylinders is three to five years, and even long-acting bottles do not exceed the maximum life of six years. The 10-year old car has probably been replaced several times, but many of the vehicles have been replaced only with bottles and do not screen for wire leaks。
As a result, many of the owners changed their new bottles and continued to lose power overnight and in the morning. The root causes are the ageing of vehicle lines, the existence of hidden power leaks, or the decline in generator power, which prevents the normal storage of batteries。
There is also a high frequency hazard, which is the oxidation of motors by iron wire. A 10-year-old car is vulnerable to rust, oxidation and poor contact, which can lead directly to difficulties in start-up, twitching, unusual work on electrical equipment, many minor malfunctions of a difficult nature, largely caused by poor wire contact。
Core recommendations for the maintenance of old circuits:
In winter and summer, two nodes each year focus on the engine compartment, the chassis strip, to see if the insulation skin is broken, ageing or falling, and to see whether the skin is promptly packaged for repair or replacement. Before replacing bottles, it is important that masters be asked to detect vehicle leakage values and generator power generation, so as to eliminate the problem of remaining power deficit after the bottles are replaced. The oxidation layer of the vials and the wires are regularly cleared to ensure good circuit access and avoid electrical failure of all types。
Final summary
Cars are mechanical products with a fixed useful life, and 10 years are an important turning point in the situation. The new car can be coarse and routine, but the old car can never be used。
In fact, old car maintenance does not cost much. It does not require frequent maintenance or replacement of large items. It requires a targeted screening of three core high-risk locations, namely, rubber pipelines, brake systems, whole-carline lines, and the timely handling of minor aging and minor hazards。
Drive the road, and the most expensive is always safe, and don't make fun of yourself and the lives of your family for being lazy。
