For the winter, maintenance is critical. Like people, winter needs warmth and winter needs a car. Let's see what we can do in the winter
Note: heating system
There is no doubt that it is very important for the heating of air systems to function properly in the winter. The heating system, although less structured than the air conditioning system, will fail after a summer stop. So before winter, try a warm wind system without heat, whether the fans are operating abnormally and whether the windways are open. In some cases, anti-frozen fluids within a warm wind pipe do not flow for long periods of time, and condensed circuits are blocked. It doesn't affect the driving, but it's hard to fix. If there's a problem, you have to go to the 4s shop or repair shop in time。
Note: cooling systems
Refrigerated fluids must be used in winter, especially in the north, where temperatures are below zero for most of the time. If the cooling system of the engine is ordinary water, it is easy to freeze and does not facilitate the start-up of the vehicle, it will almost cause severe damage to the engine. According to statistics, the cooling system failure is the number one killer of engine failure, accounting for about 60 per cent of all engine failure! Thus, the use of anti-freezing fluids in winter can effectively deter the occurrence of freezing incidents in cooling systems. So don't forget to check the antifreeze in winter. In general, it is recommended that the anti-frozen fluid be replaced every two years. However, if you have used ordinary water in anti-freeze fluids, the replacement period for anti-freeze should be earlier. When replaced, take care of the colour of the antifreeze. Different colors cannot be mixed。
The lower the ice point, the stronger the antifreeze. The ice points in the market for antifreeze are currently 15°c, -25°c, -30°c and -40°c. The selected ice points should be 10°c below the lowest temperature in the area。
Note: water spray system
Even if the use of water-scratching systems in winter rains is significantly reduced, it cannot be ignored, especially in the northern regions. As with anti-frozen fluids, although they can be replaced in summer with fresh and clean water, these alternatives may be frozen by winter and therefore not available in winter. In an environment below zero degrees celsius in winter, cold-proof winter glass water should be replaced or an appropriate proportion of alcohol should be added to the glass water in order to reduce the ice point and to prevent freezing。
Note 4: car paint
People who love cars are advised to make a beauty for the car before winter. The early winter waxing is a good way to maintain the paints, as the number of freezing exercises will decrease after winter. Moreover, the body of the waxed car is not susceptible to tide and the winter paint is not easy to show as ice。
Note: full car lights。
The working state of the entire vehicle light should be thoroughly checked and the darker light bulb replaced as soon as possible. Fog lights, brake lights and turn lights should check their working condition. In the winter, there was low visibility in the fog and a lot of follow-up accidents, so fog lights and high-pitched brakes the safety of vehicles during the winter is also ensured by the normal operation of the lights。
What do you care about the winter maintenance of 2 cars
What are the concerns about vehicle maintenance during the winter? In such a cold weather, please note how much anti-frozen fluid remains before you leave. Owing to low outdoor temperatures, the absence of anti-frozen fluids could cause water tanks to freeze and eventually the car to fail to start。
In winter, there is a general need to adjust the easing of the brakes. This means that the road is smoother in the winter and the hand brakes are more functional. There is a need to adjust the intensity. When parking, it must be pulled to ensure that the vehicle does not slide slowly. And in winter, adjustments are usually needed to prevent winter slips。
2. The smoothing equipment is required. It usually snows often in winter, and then it slips. Therefore, during the winter, in order to avoid snow accidents, it is necessary to prepare in advance materials such as a smooth-sliding chain of cars。
3. Checking of rain scratches. When the temperature is low, it usually freezes, so at night it is necessary to put up the scratch to prevent the ice。
4. Winter check to replace glass water: in an environment below zero degrees celsius in winter, cold-proof glass water should be replaced, or, more simply, an appropriate proportion of alcohol should be added to the glass water to lower the ice point and make the body frozen。
5. The four-wheel positioning of vehicles must be checked. It's like checking tires without a four-wheel location when the road is wet and slippery in winter. There may be a lot of things. For example, previous tyres were badly worn and it would be smoother without four rounds of positioning in winter. Automobile rubber is hard and thinner, not only reducing the friction system, but also prone to leaking air during other seasons。
6. Check for lights. It's dark early in the winter. If there is a problem with the lights, it is likely that accidents will occur。
7. Batteries should not be subjected to blackouts。
8. Examination of fuse boxes: cleaning, timely replacement of dangerous fuses, keeping the fuse boxes clean and avoiding car anchorage due to fuse problems during the winter。
In fact, many people focus more on the appearance of cars than on their performance. When they usually drive out, their cars are particularly dirty and old, and they don't want to, so maintenance of the paint is important. It's usually harmful to paint your car in the summer and winter, so you have to maintain it in both seasons. In fact, maintenance is about making your car fresh after winter。
