Spring arrives … and for your car

The summer season has started! According to meteorologists, winter has passed. We are waiting for high temperatures, very sun and summer atmosphere. If you change the thick trousers with shorts and leather jacket, the same attention should be paid to your car, especially because you will start taking the roads more and more often.

We thought of coming to meet you with an upper part of the most important aesthetic and mechanical tips. These suggestions will help you notice the problems of your car before they become more serious and will help you understand how everything works under the hood.

Before taking the car to check, don’t hurt me to take a look. In this way you will have a general idea about the problems you have and you know what to ask the mechanic to control.

Check the battery, the terminals and electrical connections.

During the Iteum the electrical system is positioned under high voltage. Low temperatures affect battery performance up to 60%. Go to a specialized laboratory to see if the car battery is still in parameters. It will be unless you are able to start the car when you need it.

Check the tire pressure

We must make sure that there is an appropriate air quantity (recommended) in the car tires, since adequate pressure can reduce the possibilities of producing a feather or can positively influence the vehicle fuel consumption. In the user’s manual, inside the central support or on the lid on the fuel compass you will find the specific pressure for your car.

Check the storms and straps. See when you changed the distribution the last time, but also visually check the engine compartment, in particular on the turbo engines that have many storms that support high internal pressures. Check not to be worn, broken or cut.

Check the braking system

After the ice, the snow and humidity this operation is very important. To estimate if the braking time is correct, take into account the braking time since the brakes were new. In this way, you can compare the two times. You can also listen to if there are suspicious sounds. When the brakes are old, in general, you will feel a much stronger sound than when they are new.

The tread train and the angle of escape

If it was, ice and a uniform tread. They have a great impact on the treadmill and on the flight corner. In order not to amplify the damage and not create new ones, check if they are in good condition.

Check the liquid level

The change in temperatures generally determines the formation of condensation and the appearance of acids in the engine oil. It should be changed because one with greater viscosity is better for the hot season. And the fluid of the windshield is necessary to be replaced with that summer because it has antistatic properties, anti -corridor and anti -corrosion.

The air filter

An engine with a normal air flow, without restrictions, will work correctly and efficient. Therefore, spring is recommended that the air filter changes. Before arrival of heat, it is necessary to check whether the installation of air conditioning works with optimal parameters. If you notice a failure, visit the service. Do not forget the pollen filter that stops dust, insects, hair, pollen and other materials to enter the passenger compartment.

Check the wipers

They can break or break in winter, due to low temperatures, then replace them before spring rain is recommended.

Go to the laundry

It is recommended to resort to an automatic laundry, equipped with a frame washing system. This can help eliminate residues or salts that have been scattered on the roads in winter. The salt can accelerate the body rust process and can affect the paint on any car. After washing it is good to «pamper it» with a wax. The wax will protect the paint from the ultraviolet rays of the spring mornings.

If you choose to wash it alone, you can start cleaning the interior. Remove useless things. For the outside, choose a soft cloth, prepare a bucket of water and washes the detergent and brings to the surface the real color of the body that has gone through a heavy winter. Maybe the car wax if you want a little shine.

• Removes spots

The first step is to clean the seats. Use a sponge or spray with cleaning liquid and clean the visible stains. You can also use a water solution mixed with a special detergent and then rinse all water residues. Repeat the procedure until the stains disappeared or are less visible
