Inventory of five daily car maintenance tips

Regardless of any braking system, the braking action is ultimately completed by the brake pads (disc type) or brake shoes (drum type). Therefore, regularly check the thickness of the brake pads or brake shoes. When it is found that its thickness is close to or less than the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer, it should be replaced immediately. When checking the brake pads, also check the wear of the brake disc or the brake drum. If there are dents on the contact surface, the disc or drum should be timely to ensure the contact area with the brake pads and improve the braking force.

With the continuous development of the economy, cars have entered many Chinese families, but after driving for a period of time, it is unavoidable that the car breaks down, and it is annoying for the car owner. The car repair master has a mantra: “Three points of repair and seven points of nourishment” is the truth. But what about car maintenance? Now I have summed it up and hope to share it with you.

**, brake system inspection

Regardless of any braking system, the braking action is ultimately completed by the brake pads (disc type) or brake shoes (drum type). Therefore, regularly check the thickness of the brake pads or brake shoes. When it is found that its thickness is close to or less than the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer, it should be replaced immediately. When checking the brake pads, also check the wear of the brake disc or the brake drum. If there are dents on the contact surface, the disc or drum should be timely to ensure the contact area with the brake pads and improve the braking force.

In addition, it is necessary to check the fluid level of the brake fluid. If the fluid level is found to be too low, an appropriate amount of brake fluid should be added according to the situation (the same brand of brake fluid must be added. Different brands of brake fluid may corrode the brake pipes and Affect the braking effect), the height of the liquid level should be kept between the upper and lower limits of the scale line of the brake oil tank.

Second, appearance and paint inspection

The appearance here includes the body surface and all the parts you can see. Although it sounds complicated, it is actually very simple. For example, after a long-distance high-speed driving, whether your body paint is damaged (because the high-speed driving will inevitably encounter small stones bouncing from the road, causing damage to the paint), then check the The method is to wash the folded car and then circle your car twice and find the injured part in time.

Third, the internal parts inspection

After a long journey, a component in the engine compartment needs to be inspected. It is the “air filter.” If there is more dust on the way than in the city, the air filter may absorb too much dust during this period of time , and if the dust enters the engine, it will cause wear and tear on various parts of the engine; for example, the air filter is blocked and It will cause the engine’s air intake to be poor and the power to drop. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the air filter and check it.

Fourth, engine oil inspection

The engine is the “heart” of the car. How to keep the “heart” of the car young, we must start with the daily use and maintenance of the engine compartment. If car owners and friends can personally check various common parts in the engine compartment, they will not only know the daily use situation well, but also the best embodiment of caring for the car. The daily inspection of common parts in the engine compartment is the most basic maintenance work, and it is also crucial for the normal operation of the engine

Fifth, tire inspection

Car tires not only carry the full weight of the car body, personnel and goods, but also gallop at a speed of tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers per hour, requiring extremely strong mechanical strength. After long-term use, due to wear, aging, fatigue and mechanical damage, the performance of the tire will be greatly reduced, and it cannot meet the needs of high-speed driving of the vehicle. At this time, depending on the specific situation, you can choose to replace the spare tire and go to the 4S shop for further inspection as soon as possible. In addition, after a long period of bumps, the positioning of the tires may fail. At this time, the most notable feature is that the vehicle will deviate and jump. If this happens, you need to go to the 4S shop for inspection.
