People love to hate summer rain always, love the rain came because hot weather can ease about; hate is because raining where are dripping wet, and uncomfortable. For cars, the rain is not a good thing, the one rain and humidity increases, the car prone to problems, such as chassis rust, caused by circuit failure due to moisture, brake system problems, and so on. Reporters recently interviewed an expert in vehicle maintenance, to enable them to talk about how wet weather vehicle maintenance.

Car body

Days of rainy days, the body of the vehicle in addition to dirt, it also often have sticky tar-like substance, if not cleaned, it is easy considerable period of time in the car firmly attached to the shell, difficult to remove. Cleaning should pay attention to the bottom of the vehicle and the lower part, where the Acer Aspire 9300 battery dirt piled up, more difficult to clean, but also prone to rust or hurt the finish of the problem.

Tips: After the rain under the body to be cleaned, the mud and other dirt are washed off.

Paint

Auto body paint has always been the protective shell of the car, and the acidic components in rain water has a corrosive effect on paint, over time will cause harm to the body, more so in the rain season, it is best to give love car for a paint maintenance. A simple and effective way is waxing, but is more effective long-term closure of the glaze, both to prevent paint fade aging, thereby protecting the body from harm.

Tips: Tianyi clear up should go to the car waxing, especially in the last few months, regular waxing can effectively protect the car’s paint.

Chassis

After heavy rain, the bottom should be cleaned car, or may lead to cavity side of the Sony VGP-BPS5 battery vehicle wheels and chassis parts of sludge accumulation, it is easy for the moisture to cause rust to hide them, even at the wheel may be loose chamber perforation. Therefore, we must pay attention to cleanliness and anti-rust chassis handling, while also careful not to use alkaline cleaning solution wash the body and chassis. If the original sealed plastic chassis cars have not done the best vehicle to do a sealed plastic chassis. In addition, you should regularly check and clean the door and underbody drainage holes, and check the humidity inside the cover.

Tips: chassis generally maintained by a professional auto repair center to do. General procedure is to first clean, then anti-rust treatment for 30 whole process takes about 40 minutes. Do a chassis rust treatment, rust effect can be maintained for three months or even longer.

Car

During the monsoon season temperatures, air humidity, the growth of various bacteria breeding season, so pay special attention to hygiene and HP TouchSmart tx2 battery bacteria inside the car. Especially for the car seat, the outlet of these health corners, cleaning to do more work, with special interior cleaning agent on the console, doors and other parts cleaned and disinfected. Today, many vehicles are equipped with leather seats, carpets and textiles, and in this season, as the seats and interior textiles carpets disinfection can reduce the breeding of bacteria. Maintenance, the first high-temperature sterilization for automotive interior, that is, the first steam saunas for the car. Marked with a layer of leather seats and leather care wax, leather seat to prevent cracks.

Tips: the owners themselves can be simple disinfection, such as using disinfectant spray on the surface, but to more thoroughly disinfected, it is best to find a professional automotive beauty shop. In addition, the rainy season, the car naturally more humid, in addition to open the door to let the car was fine when the sun outside, open air or desiccant moisture is also an excellent way.

Sound

Car stereo in the spring and summer moisture will often encounter the problem, increase the humidity inside the vehicle, often resulting in abnormal operation of some Compaq 452057-001 Battery electronic devices.

Tips: In the wet season, the best driving force in the process make their own music accompanied the main purpose is to host not damp.

Wiper

As the spring rain, wiper significantly increased frequency of use, so the best pre-season in the rain wiper replacement.

Tips: It is now fashionable boneless wiper, wiper bone than it has a clean shaven, low noise and long life, however, used to pay attention, the rain when dry scraping, abnormal sound will be phenomenon, therefore, no bone dry wiper should try to avoid scraping.

Circuit

Check the battery power is sufficient to see. Rain, the owner sometimes encounter problems starting the engine is not easy, sometimes even if we manage to start up, is weakly. Lead to such Compaq Presario CQ50 Battery problems is most likely due to moisture from the ignition system leakage. The key is to check the high-voltage lines, if found to be wet because of the ignition system, ignition caused by poor engine performance, you can temporarily dry with a dry paper towel or cloth inside and outside the sub-plate and electrical wires and other dry, if it is aging, leakage must be timely replacement.

Tips: Cleaning the battery positive and negative connector is necessary. Owners can take advantage of the positive and negative battery connector wrench to loosen the screws, use a toothbrush to brush clean the oxide layer, the best sandpaper and then wipe, re-installed.

Brake

Rain, air humidity, brake fluid absorbs moisture easily. Some of the more serious brake fluid absorbent vehicles, the brake fluid can see the oil lid drops. Because the vast majority of car braking system vacuum assisted hydraulic dual brake lines, brake fluid power HP Compaq nx9420 Battery transmission system is highly absorbent. If there is water to enter the brake fluid in the braking process, the friction will heat the water gasification. The gas is compressible, the brake fluid is compressed, it will result in brake failure or even failure. Once a serious automobile brake fluid absorption, should be sent to a professional repair shop in addition to water.

Tips: three cases the owner can prove that their brake system may have a problem: step on the brakes to be very deep, heard the sound of the brakes, braking distance than before extension, there one of these three cases, will check into the repair shop.

Air filter

Automotive air filter’s role is to filter out sand in the air and some suspended particles, so that air entering the engine relatively clean. And humid weather can make the dust and fine sand glued to the air filter, so that the air filter blockage, then the engine will be difficult to start, idle instability and other Dell Latitude E5400 Battery symptoms. General car air filter once in 20,000 kilometers want to change, usually the best time in the 2000 km to clean, so that the engine is also good.

Tips: You can open the air filter cover, the air filter out, the floor and cried threw the dust is destroyed, the best time in the car wash, car wash workers, then please look at air filter with compressed air blowing.

Air filter

For hot days when air conditioning in the smooth start, to avoid the trouble, the summer comes, the air conditioning filter should be checked as soon as possible, such as problem identification, early repair, so as not to delay the use of air conditioning.

Tips: You can also sense the owners themselves on the air conditioning thermostat to test the limits of refrigeration, as long as the normal temperature and can be flat, but also by their feelings roughly measured air temperature and air flow with the gap between the previous use can not, or we need the expertise to deal with.

Tire Maintenance

Adhesion of the tire and the Sony VGP-BPS18 battery ground will be greatly reduced because of water, which is why rain causes slippery car. Therefore, before the arrival of the rainy season if the tires were badly worn tread pattern must disappear to be replaced. Tire pressure was lower during the rainy season put some purpose is to make the friction between the tire and the ground area increases, thereby increasing the adhesion, in fact just the opposite, which is more likely to cause the tires skid, maintaining a normal tire pressure is very important.

Tips: Check the tires, the first look at the pressure, can be obtained through the market to buy supplies professional equipment. If tire pressure is too abundant, it will affect the performance of the time on rainy days. Then, observe whether the tire above the foreign body, with or without damaged areas, but also to check tire wear indicator line, if you have to wear a tag line on the tire should be replaced. In addition, you can check the front wheel on their own circumstances, the owner may be flat and wide roads, no cars around the case, open hands, to see whether the vehicle deviation. If yes, description of the front wheel positioning. Check whether VGP-BPS22 Battery Replacement the unilateral tire wear, if any, indicating the location are not allowed.

The onset of winter, our car should be different whether the maintenance, thus avoiding the “fever”? Guangdong Yue Guang Bao automotive service manager Tanjiaqiao that in winter the south, oil, water, tires can not be ignored is the largest of several factors.

Timely replacement of engine antifreeze

Experts advise, need to check the Canon lp-e10 battery antifreeze in winter driving, the amount of antifreeze must be appropriate. Tanjiaqiao wide engineers suggested that the engine antifreeze to replace, especially in mixed (especially over the summer plus water) antifreeze must be replaced.
 
And Guangzhou to the north, if the engine cooling water, antifreeze concentration is too low, the engine water will freeze, causing the vehicle can not start in the morning. Therefore, we need to increase the concentration of antifreeze, is generally maintained at 70% can. Tan also said that workers, even in the South, but also need to increase the concentration of antifreeze, usually a bottle, plus two bottles on the need at this time, generally no more than 50%. In this way, both in Guangzhou, or driving to the frozen north, have to worry about cars beat the fire.
 
In addition, experts advise to pay attention to different types of products of different brands do not mix, but also based on Canon eos 1100d battery formal models to choose different brands of antifreeze, the antifreeze if you use poor quality, not only will the water temperature increases, but also corrosion of the engine. In addition, the use of heaters in winter but also to the season, the heater system to stop using for a long time, he will fail, so owners have a friend first to try hot air, fans running any abnormal sound, the wind is smooth. Sometimes encountered in the antifreeze heater pipe flow for long periods, clogging up the circulation line of condensation, although for traffic, but maintenance is very troublesome. With the problem must be repaired in time to the repair shop, so, your car can survive the winter.

Timely replacement of oil
 
Climate change, the oil viscosity will also change, usually exacerbated by mechanical wear and tear, so that the engine and other important parts are subject to different degrees of damage, the lubrication oil in winter the car higher, and Canon powershot sd4500 is battery lubrication lubricating oil into the winter and summer oil, the experts recommended to be replaced as soon as possible winter oil. Moreover, both in Guangzhou or in the north, the oil must be replaced. Especially for the use of a longer time, the color black, adhesion deterioration of oil should be replaced to ensure that the engine started running smoothly.

In addition, experts also suggested that the winter when you can replace the high scale of gasoline, if the normal use of 90 # gasoline can be exchanged for 93 oil. Because of lower ambient temperature in winter car, the use of high-scale burning of gasoline higher, stronger ignition point. Also, the drive to the Hunan area or farther north, but also pay attention to the glass of water, although the use of glass in the winter the amount of cleaning will be significantly reduced, but can not be ignored, some people more than in other seasons with the amount of water and wash water instead, but often substitutes for those in the winter ice, so winter is not used, zero degrees Celsius in the winter environment should be replaced glass of water freezing in the winter, or, more simply, by adding an appropriate proportion of water in a glass of alcohol can lowering the NIKON coolpix s60 battery freezing point, freezing purposes.

Pay attention to check the tire

Reminded owners of friends, to the winter tire rubber will harden and relatively brittle, will reduce the friction coefficient, tire pressure is not too high, but more can not be too low, the external temperature is low, the tire pressure is too low, soft tires can accelerate the aging of serious and increased tire contact with the ground, friction will accelerate and reduce tire life.

In winter they often clean up inclusions within the tread, to avoid using up more than once tires, replacing worn larger and different patterns of different brands of tires. Different inside and outside tire wear, reducing wear and tear to ensure safety, the Dell vostro a860 battery tire should be replaced regularly to bits.

In addition, the body, the lights black light bulbs replaced as soon as possible, but also to check the fog lights, brake lights of the situation. Easy from frost in winter fog, low visibility, particularly rear-end accidents, so fog lights, brake light is working properly, but also protect the safety of winter driving.

Experts also warned that if the owners have to drive to the ice area, preferably close to the body for the car to do a “beauty.” Because after the winter cold, brushing will reduce the number of vehicles, so waxing is the beginning of the winter maintenance of a good way to paint. Another waxed body difficult to wet, cold winter in the region will not easily appear the phenomenon of condensation into the ice.

Remind

In addition to these key points, car batteries are most afraid of low-temperature, low temperature than at room temperature when the battery capacity of electric capacity is much lower. Therefore, before going to ice the area, should be added to the NIKON coolpix s6100 battery electrolyte, regulate electrolyte proportion. Also clean the battery terminal, and coated with special oils to protect and ensure reliable starting, extending battery life. If a vehicle is parked in the open air or cold a few weeks do not, the cheap camera battery should be removed, stored in a warmer room, to prevent ice damage to the battery.
