As the temperature continues to drop, how to do a comprehensive winter maintenance for your car has become a topic of concern to many drivers. Recently, the netizens in the QQ group of our newspaper's “Long Night Talking about Traffic” have come up with a set of strategies for “maintenance of 7 major components of a car in winter” by consulting relevant experts and combining their own car maintenance experience. I hope these strategies will help the readers and friends.
1. Car paint
In the early winter morning, there is a lot of dew, and the surface of the car is often very humid. If there are obvious scratches on the surface of your car, you should paint it in time to prevent the scratched parts from getting damp and rusty. In addition, when the season is changing, you should do a series of beauty care for the surface of your car from cleaning, polishing to waxing, sealing or coating.
2. Tire maintenance
Tires play a pivotal role in the safe driving of vehicles. Especially in winter, because the temperature is relatively low, the tires must be supplemented with air pressure to keep them within the specified air pressure range. At the same time, the tires should be checked for scratches, because the rubber tends to harden and become brittle in winter. It is easy to leak air and even puncture the tire.
3. Engine compartment
In winter, the driver should always check the engine oil, brake oil and antifreeze in the engine compartment to see if the oil is sufficient, whether it has deteriorated, and whether it is the replacement cycle. These oils are like the blood of your car, and must be replaced during the replacement cycle to ensure the smooth circulation of the oil.
4. Heating pipe and fan
In winter, the temperature is low and hoarfrost will appear in the car. In this season, you should pay special attention to whether the defrosting air outlet under the windshield is normal and whether the heat is sufficient. If there is a problem, you must solve it in time, otherwise, it will bring unsafe factors to your driving.
5. Air inlet or inlet grille, electronic fan
Always check whether there is any debris in the car vents, inlet grilles, and electronic fans. If there is debris, you can use a compressed air machine to blow away the dust. In addition, when the engine is cooling down, the above parts can be flushed from the inside to the outside with a water gun.
6. Battery
In winter, the electrode connection of car battery is the most prone to problems. When the driver checks, if there is green oxide at the electrode wiring, it must be washed away with boiling water. These green oxides will cause insufficient power in the generator and cause the battery to be in a state of lack of electricity. In severe cases, it will also cause the battery to be scrapped or the car Can’t catch fire.
7. Interior
Due to the high temperature and rain in summer, many bacteria breed in the carpet, floor glue and other hidden places in the car. With the advent of winter, car windows are no longer frequently opened, and the air in the compartment will become turbid, causing peculiar smells, and peculiar smells and bacteria will cause harm to human health. Therefore, it is necessary to love you during the season. The car undergoes a thorough sterilization and cleaning of the interior.
