Understand What It Small Service and Large Service

It's hard to imagine if the center in urgent circumstances, the car or vehicle that we were traveling "protest" in the middle of the road.

If you do not want to experience something like that, from now is worth more attention to the vehicle, for example by performing routine service on a regular basis in the workshop of trust.

In general, service to be divided into two, namely servicing large and small service. Usually cover only a small servicing the engine oil and filter change, and clean the air filter. Should follow the guidelines of the manual book of his, about every 5000-7500 miles traveled should be serviced light.

Minimal change engine oil, because if too long feared to come circulate carbon residue. The impact is lower quality oil. As with the great service.

Treatment usually includes the servicing of all oil substitute, from engine oil, transmission, until the axle. Also the bolts on the legs of the vehicle also becomes part of the check at the time of service. Great service should be performed every 10,000 kilometers. It is intended that the condition of the vehicle is always in top shape.

In each serving both small and great service is usually also carried out engine or tune up. There are several work items that were once a regular tune ups, such as check spark plugs and spark plug wires, set the ignition timing, check air filter, clean the intake manifold, and set the valve for cars that still use the manual valve.

For cars that already use a computer (ECU), if necessary when doing a tune up scanner tool used to facilitate instant diagnosis found the problem on the car.

That is, if the scanner appliance trouble with the ABS sensor is not necessarily convicted the ABS sensor to be replaced, but first examined the cause, it could be just a loose socket.

How to Take Care Car Radiator

Car engine ignition system in working with the hot conditions. Combustion of gasoline in the combustion chamber generates heat that will produce mechanical energy to drive the piston and rotate cruck as (crank shaft) and then channeled to the wheels.

The more heat engine, the more efficiently it works. But the heat is limited by the heat resistance of the piston and head are usually made of aluminum or cast iron dai. Most machines today are designed to work optimally at normal working temperature of about 195-2200 F, ideal hot conditions that will generate maximum performance and fuel consumption are ideal.

When experiencing a overheated engine, the first thing that happens is the engine feels ngelitik or coughing, and began to lose power. This is caused by a combination of heat and pressure that exceeds the engine room of our fuel octane. The combination was able to cause severe damage to pistons, piston rings, and rod bearings. Additionally, excess heat and pressure can bend the head, especially those made of aluminum.

What the hell, the cause of overheating? Radiator could be because the content is less, leaks in the radiator and radiator hoses and water-jacket (in the engine cooling water channels) filled with dirt. Thermostat can also be triggered by conditions that do not mebuka maximum cap, water pump does not work optimally, the radiator cap which was ugly then an extra fan to death.

If this happens, check the thermostat. The working principle is to drain the water thermostat at an ideal temperature, 80-90 degrees Celsius. So this thing will open and drain the water to circulate from the engine coolant to the radiator so the engine temperature is optimally maintained.

How to check it out, boil the thermostat until the temperature reaches 80-90 degrees Celsius. When opened, the normal means. But when opening partially or even not open at all, please replace with new.

No harm in seeing conditions thermoswitch. Usually mounted on the radiator. This sensor will work at a temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius and will turn on the extra fan to cool the radiator. If you see any problems, try to boil the water reaches a temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius, Measure its resistance with a multimeter. The resulting figure should be zero which means it works well.

Next, check the extra fan. See if an extra fan to work properly. If necessary replace the fans with extra blades more weeks to get a better cooling effect. Check also if the radiator cap is still in good shape, because the pressure is reduced as a result of a bad radiator cap to suppress boiling point of water cooling.

Water pump works to download Circulate the water from the engine to the radiator, usually the blades on the water pump gradually eroded, until his work was not optimal. After that, check the radiator grille. Objects made of aluminum that serves as a coolant. Make sure that the radiator is not clogged, the radiator can be brought into service to be scraped or cleaned.

Water Jacket is a water channel in the machine that serves to drain the water that will cool the engine. Use a radiator flush to clean the crust that accumulates in the water jacket. (*)

Tips:

1. Combine the water with the radiator coolant. Could be 50/50 or 70/30 mix of maximum.
2. Note the sign lights overheating.
3. Stop the vehicle, parked until normal conditions return.
4. Do not force run the vehicle if the lights lit overheat.
5. Never remove the thermostat.

Suddenly A Car Strike? This Is Some Reason

Have comfortable while driving, the car suddenly breaking down or stalled the engine? Many factors cause the machine crashed, starting from the ignition system until the fuel system. There is a good car owner to understand several factors that often interfere with the performance of the engine. Workshop Technician classify five causes of death machines.

Cars that are still using carburizing system, a dirty carburetor can make a machine breaking down. Dirty carburetor makes the engine work so hot quickly overwhelmed. If excessive heat, the engine will die. The second factor is the coil damage due to overheating. The cause could be due to the heat coil is weak or the installation of resistors that are not true. Resistor serves to reduce the large electrical currents coming into the coil. If one pair of resistors coil will overheat and die. As a result, the electricity was off.

In applying injection engine, a dirty fuel filter can cause the engine to die. Dirt will reduce the volume of gas flow, so the machine was not working optimally. Machine so burdened as it requires extra effort to suck up extra petrol. As a result the same, so the engine overheated. Weak gasoline pump also causes effects such as dirty filters, namely the addition of the machine workload. Yunan recommends routine check every 50,000 miles to determine the condition of filters and pumps.

The last factor is the most common is interference with the electrical system. Injection systems for automobiles, generally crank sensor could be causing the engine to die. This sensor serves to provide a signal to the control unit to operate the ignition. If the signal is weak, then the ignition will be interrupted. Other components included in the electrical system is the spark plug wires. Sometimes physically, spark plug wires are still good but maybe a conductor in which there is a break. As a result the electric current supplied was reduced. Although the car still can walk, if given a bit like turning an AC load or higher engine speeds are not strong and died.

To anticipate these things, there is no other way but to do orderly conduct periodic tune ups. At least every 10,000 miles. Less than that is better, but do not actually too often. If too often, according to the detriment of Yunan for causing the rubber and bolts quickly wear out, especially in the carburetor.

Consider Tread Wear Indicator, Not Thickness Tires

Car tires do not have expiry dates. Origin still meet the standards, the tires still comfortable and safe to use everyday driving. Tire life is determined by the physical condition of the tires. Most people assess the condition of the tires of the thickness. Apparently this is not always right. Usually when kembangannya still looks good, people judge her tires are still viable and meet the standards of wear, but not necessarily.
.
Lifetime of the tire is actually marked with the Tread Wear Indocator. Tread Wear Indocator is a bar-code there is small rubber between the tread blocks. Tread Wear Indocator have a certain size that is 1.6 mm thick for passenger car tires and 2.4 mm for the used light truck tires. At the thickness of the tread is the same height as the Tread Wear Indocator, indicates the tire has reached the limits of safe use and must be replaced for safety reasons. Not many are aware of the existence of Tread Wear Indocator and function. And this will determine the safety of our journey.

Tires that had crossed the line Tread Wear Indocator will lose its grip on power of the media path. Yet according to car tires have a very heavy task. When driving a car, car tires support the load function and its load, absorb shocks due to the condition of the road cars, as well as help control the direction of the vehicle braking by reducing vehicle speed. Ban also serves to move the pull (traction) on the surface of the ground vehicles. These tasks make the tire pressure down, front-rear and right-left continuously when the car is driven.

If it weakens the strength cengkramnya automatic steering response and stability will decrease. You can imagine what will happen if a car is difficult to control, especially if already driven in high speed. Therefore, immediately replace the tires when it reaches the limit Indocator Tread Wear safety reasons of course above all else

Why Car Oil Fast Out?

Car oil is one important factor for the continuity of the engine. What should we do when oil suddenly run out quickly? At least there are several causes of why we fast car engine oil is depleted or reduced beyond normal circumstances.

First, there was a leak in the seals and packing on the sidelines of the machine. So that the leak was made ​​dropwise oil wasted during engine combustion process takes place. Another indication, if our car exhaust white smoke when the car is running. It could be because the oil that burned in the combustion process, caused by leakage at the piston ring.

The fix, if it's because of leaks in the seals and packing, will inevitably have to dismantle the machine, to check and replace a new seals and packing if indeed the source of oil leaks from there. Then, compression can also check the car, with the cylinder head to disassemble it. Check whether the condition of the piston ring is qualified or not to hold the oil does not burn chamber infiltrates.

The most common means there are two causes why the oil run out quickly, could be due to a leak or because the oil was also burned in the combustion process because the ring Seker was no longer able to hold oil.

Excellence I Drive Throttle Controller

I Drive Throttle Controller is the acceleration power control devices on cars. System to regulate the percentage of torque on gas. These devices can increase the pull of the car and save fuel consumption.

I drive a car with a system designed to drive by wire. So as to adopt the system plug and play without the need to cut or add to the cable. I drive has three modes.

Normal Mode is the mode that makes the normal gases such settings without a throttle controller.
Sporty Used with emphasis on the acceleration torque. So that will improve the performance of the pull of the car. The result, making the car more responsive.
Economy It is preferred because it can make a smooth acceleration. Most importantly, this mode can save fuel. Important I-Drive Throttle Controller? Yes, because its function is diverse.

Using plug and play system (unplug and plug).
Make the car more responsive
Save fuel
Can be used as a volt meter
Small and dynamic forms. So young h dashboard.
Easy to operate.
Plug itself can be dismantled for ten minutes without the need to call a mechanic.

Car Tips Engine Cooling System Maintenance

Attention to the other cooling system components are also necessary for the machine is always in top condition:

Flush and replace the coolant regularly. The quality and type of coo Lant used largely determines the durability of the engine, it is recommended to use Extended Life Coolant (ELC) or Surfactant C oolant (SC), some products sold ready to pour the coolant.

Avoid using tap water or well water to fill the radiator. use distilled water mixed with Coola nt as inhibitors (preventing rust and crust). The use of aq uadest alone can not prevent rust.
Radiator Coolant Use a good quality, and use ice UAI's recommendation.
Replace the radiator cap every 4-5 years, causing damage to the radiator cap can not remove the excess pressure so that it will damage the cylinder head gasket and head of the radiator, use the original radiator cap.
Replace the thermostat every 5 years, if you will be using the thermostat temperature lower than the recommended factory agree, do n more than 5 º C difference. Remember, do not be off the thermostat.
Check the fan motor performance or Visco fan.
Replace waterpump if already detected occurred kebocora n or weak water flow.
If the radiator is made ​​from plastic broken / cracked, replace the radiator and the resort to the original head, do not replace the brass, because in case of over-pressure, then the comp on en the other machine will be broken or cracked
Use radiator coolant for diesel engines should be me wearing a kind of extended life.

Fuel Efficient Cars: Observe Temperature Working Machines

If we use a used car or old, try to look at our car engine working temperature. See the needle temperature instructions on the instrument panel. Try also a time to ask the authorized repair shop or join the mailing list or similar car clubs to ask at what point our engine temperature under normal conditions. If the temperature needle indicates a lower temperature for example, only a quarter (normally half), then there are the following possibilities:

1. Thermostat has been revoked: Making the engine work in cold conditions, usually because of overheating have occurred on the machine, so the thermostat removed. Solution: Install the thermostat according to the size of the factory recommended temperature.

2. Thermostat jammed: Occurs when the thermostat is damaged so it is always in condition to open. Solution: Replace the thermostat according to the size of the factory recommended temperature.

3. Low-temperature thermostat work: As a result of using a thermostat that low working temperature makes the machine work at a temperature low employment. Solution: Replace the thermostat according to the size of the factory recommended temperature.

Tips Car Proper Temperature, Fuel Save More

ON a car club meeting, a friend proudly showed the needle temperature which indicates the position of a quarter car, while in general for the same car it should show the position of a half. He considers the engine cooling system on the car works well and will be free from the problem of overheating. Meanwhile there is also a friend who just pull the thermostat from the engine for fear of overheating problems happen again. Both of the above it also occurs in many other brands of cars, especially European cars.

What negative impact for the car? Car engine works optimally at a temperature high enough (about 93 º C). If the machine works at low temperatures will create rapid engine component damage, detonating, creating pollution and wasteful of fuel. For that most important things done by all produksen car is to make temperature control for the machine to reach temperature quickly it works and keeping it constant (stable). In addition to machine the ideal working temperature, for the complete combustion process, gasoline and air mixture takes appropriate.

Thermostat as a temperature regulator

Car engine that uses water cooling system uses a temperature control thermostat. Thermostat functions as a valve / faucet water flow from the engine to the radiator. While still cold, the thermostat closes so that the water would spin in the engine block which make ideal working temperature is reached quickly. When the working temperature is reached, the thermostat opens so that water began to flow into the radiator to be cooled to a temperature not exceeding the temperature of the engine works, when temperatures are too cold the thermostat back cover, and so on making the engine temperature becomes stable.

Thermostat as a 'scapegoat'

Often heard the case of overheating caused by the cooling system, or the case of machines that are always in hot conditions. Of those cases that suggests not a few workshops to repeal the thermostat because it is considered as the culprit. There are also workshops suggested that replacing the thermostat temperature lower than the standard work on the grounds Indonesia climate is quite hot (tropical). Repeal the thermostat is wrong, because the machine long enough to reach the temperature it works, do not even reach the ideal working temperature. The temperature of the machine becomes unstable, while high-speed downhill or engine temperature will be very cold. Replacing the thermostat temperature lower employment than the recommended factory also makes the engine work under ideal working temperature.

7 Steps to Keeping the Car Air Conditioner Stay Cold

WE would always hope that the car air conditioner continues to provide the cool air in the cabin. However, if you remember to take care of him? And to keep the car air conditioner durable cold, just need to check the car air conditioner periodically once a year. You should turn off the switch the car air conditioner so as not to be wasted when the engine is turned on, it is useful as the austerity measures. There are parts of the car air conditioner to consider in the treatment measures and this can be done alone at holiday time.

• Check your car air conditioner hose, if there are leaks or not. Due to leakage of this section may cause the car air conditioner is no longer cold.
• Also check whether the receiver / dryer is still suitable to be used or must be replaced. Notice the indicator. When damage occurs, a quick change. Because if not, over time the damage will spread to other tools such as the expansion valve, compressor.
• Check also whether the lubricant is still adequate or need to be added.
• Clean the condenser. Because as a heat exchange (where the hot air circulation switch), will certainly a lot of dirt accumulate in these parts and can reduce the cold air produced by the car air conditioner.
• Also check the cooling unit. When this section is dirty, clean it immediately. Because if not, the cold air generated certainly can not break out because of dirt covered with thick walls of his unit. What's worse, it turns out can cause rust and if a leak can occur during cleaning.
• Do not forget to check the freon car air conditioner. Still worth it or not. To fill the freon or gas that must be examined first by the car air conditioner repair service.
• Also check and clean the evavorator this part of the dirt.

Watch out, Floods Threaten Your Car

Car drivers to be careful crossing streets under water. If not, the car can be broken down on the road. Then, what should you do when a car hit by flooding? Here are some tips on handling the car after being hit by floods.

When the car hit by flood light:

• Check the condition of wheel bearings.
• Check the condition of the brake system.
• Check the ABS system works.
• Check the condition of tie rod and ball joint.

Floods are:

• Check the condition of the engine and transmission oil, when mixed with water, replace with new.
• Open the exhaust and air filter, if there is clean water and pat dry.
• Make sure the engine can spin the pulley by turning the key.
• Check the cylinder by opening the spark plugs, if there is clean water in a way start engine with spark plug condition is open all.
• Check for completeness of electrical machines, such as starter, alternator, and the ECU. If there is water, clean and dry.

Heavy flooding:

• Check the appropriate components in the category of mild and moderate flooding, and check the components that are in the cabin.
• Check all the ECU, combination meter, tape, relays, and fuse, and all the connectors inside the cabin. Pastika all free of water, then wash and dry it using a blower or hair dryer.
• Bring the car to the garage in order to get further examination.

Tips Overcome Difficult Engine Start

Questions such as the title above often arise when motorists attempt to tamper with the car have trouble starter. Machine did not react when the ignition is turned to the ON position. Once checked, the battery (batteries) is fine. Relations and the condition of battery terminals are also good. Starter motor was not problematic. When all these components normalnormal course, do not forget to check the wiring on the starter system. Could be, a tool that serves to conduct electricity is already fragile.

Fragile cables will have different resistance values. The next result, the flow of electricity to the starter motor is inhibited. Automatically, the starter motor does not react when the ignition is turned upside down many times. Very possible given the fragility of these wires in the engine room is often hot. Therefore, the case of fragile wires are common in vehicles five years old and above. Motorists usually overcome this problem by replacing the cables on the starter system.

Of course, this problem with the replacement of the engine starter can be difficult to overcome. If it is proven that the core problem lies in the wiring system of the starter, the engine will be easy to live when the ignition is turned to the ON position. Is this the only way? Not really. Actually, there is a more practical and inexpensive. Namely, by adding a starter relay on the circuit system. How, to prepare wiring and relays.

Remove the starter motor terminal 50 and connect to the relay terminal 85. After that, connect relay terminal 86 to the masses and connect relay terminal 30 with (+) battery. The next step which connects the terminal 87 the relay with the starter motor terminal 50. Technically, an additional relay is able to overcome the hard starter because the electric current that flows will be much greater. The electrical current from the battery straight out toward the magnetic clutch. Due to large currents, the magnetic field generated by the greater magnetic clutch. Large magnetic fields that allow the starter motor to react.
