Analysis of automotive vulnerable parts / selection / replacement techniques

Car 5 the use of the vulnerable parts of the selection of car replacement Parts techniques, way to remind the old driver to the car on time to do maintenance in order to maintain the health status of the car, to extend the service life of car.
First, the wiper blades - 1 year 1 time replacement
Windshield wipers film replacement will be many owners ignored the obvious and its role can not be ignored, rain, snow or covered with dust, his role on the glass manifested.
General vehicles will have two or more wipers, ranging from the number of different car wipers, windshield wipers is certainly necessary, hatchback, coupe, multi-purpose vehicle after the windshield will . A wiper to wipe the contact surface of the glass very empty mirror, basically winds dried up, very easy to use.
Part of the life of the wiper blades for how long? Here year to do a replacement, the rubber portion of the wipers after a year of wind and sun, rain, oxidation, acid-base erosion is very easy to aging, aging the wipers on the glass to leave an imprint Road, affect your driving safety. In this case the proposed replacement, in order to avoid the rainy season affect your safe driving.
Tip: wipers purchase and prolong life skills.
A new wiper selection - buy wiper films, the owner can use your finger to touch the rubber wiper surface, if we find the leaf aging, hardening, cracks, rubber leaves no flexibility can be determined to be fake and shoddy products.
Old wiper update looks - the rubber of the wipers in the case of no damage is aging, with a fine sandpaper polished contact surface of the rubber and glass, so that the wiper can be a good contact with the glass, and still achieve the cleaning effect.
Two, as the case may check and replace the battery - 2 years
The battery is a battery in a car battery can be divided into two, an ordinary battery; ordinary battery plate is composed of lead and lead oxide, the electrolyte is sulfuric acid aqueous solution. Its main advantage is the voltage stability, cheap; drawback is that the specific energy (ie, per kg of battery storage of electricity), short life and routine maintenance is frequent.
Another maintenance-free battery: maintenance-free batteries due to the advantages of on its own structure, the consumption of the electrolyte is very small, and basically do not need to add distilled water and the life. It also has seismic, high temperature, small size, self-discharge characteristics of a small The service life is generally twice that of ordinary batteries.
Skills: the battery to extend the life tips.
(1) Remove from heat and turn off lights - forgot to turn off the interior lights turn off after this many new owners likely to commit errors. Night lighting may consume the net battery power, there may be burned lampshade.
(2) Remove from heat and turn off air conditioning - do not close the air on the flame, the result will lead with air conditioning to start the next time you start, so that vehicles instantaneous power load is too high, the battery life of over time will cause loss.
Idle or turn off open sound, the same high load to the car battery.
Not more than 3 seconds. Every time you start the engine. If the first failed to start, do not rush to start over. From the works of the car, then consecutive start motor will certainly cause excessive battery discharge and damage, and re-launch when the time interval should be more than 5 seconds.
, Tires - 30,000 to 40,000 km replacement cycle
Tires like the shoes of the car, often walking certainly fee shoes, is one of the losses will damage components. The side of the tire is the weakest and most prone to puncture the position, although the positive wire line protection, but do not underestimate its inspection. The tires must be checked from six aspects: check the whole car tire sidewall (inner and outer) is intact; check the entire vehicle tire tread stabbed; check the entire vehicle tire tread wear; check the entire vehicle tires The pressure is normal; check the entire vehicle tire valve aging; check the wheel alignment of the entire vehicle.
Tire replacement cycle is recommended that 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers to be replaced, of course, different driving habits, often taking the road, the replacement cycle relative will also change. 20,000 km owners to do the best positioning of the first four correct four data to ensure the normal use of the tire to prevent partial wear. If the wheel alignment data is not accurate, it is likely to cause tire wear and reduce tire life, and when the tire tread is less than 1 mm, the owner must immediately replace the tire!
The tire pressure in the normal situation should be maintained at between 2.3Kpa ~ 2.5Kpa, generally before 2.3Kpa 2.5Kpa appropriate. Low tire pressure, tire softening in contact with the ground area is too large, the resistance to the vehicle fuel consumption is also large. Part of the tire contact with the ground deformation, a long time, easy fatigue, affecting tire life of tire rubber and the inside of the cord; increasing ground, road nails, fragments of glass midnight, the bar tires that may significantly increase , brake performance. The tire pressure is too high vehicle bumps, reduce ride comfort; small contact area with the road surface, decreased grip; prone to puncture dangerous in the summer or at high speed.
Tip: maintenance checks on time, avoid braking the sharp turn
Before and after the swap - the sake of the front tire wheel so to spend more than the background, it is recommended that the owners of 10,000 km, it is best to front and rear tire diagonal exchange time. Four tires to keep the wear leveling, can be of help to extend tire life.
(2) inspection and maintenance - pavement a variety of situations may occur, tire inevitably squeezed the stone, or bar tires. Removed the stones and tires on the tire front and side of the piece to check frequently to prevent the occurrence of safety hazards.
Benign driving - driving to avoid the bad habits of the brakes hard acceleration. Reduce the speed entrance speed is best not more than 30 step to minimize the loss of the tire when cornering. Over the deceleration zone and parking should be to avoid the impact or the highway along the cut rub the side of the tire.
Fourth, the brake pads - about 30,000 kilometers to be replaced
The brakes, also known as brake shoe, belonging to the consumables will gradually wear in use, and must be replaced when worn to the limit position, otherwise it will reduce the braking effect, even cause accidents. The brake shoe relates to the safety of life, must be treated with caution.
Depending on the individual's driving habits, the life of brake pads. Found in the routine maintenance, some vehicles, the brake pads need to be replaced after traveling over 10,000 kilometers, and some vehicles traveling about 80,000 kilometers, the brake pads still work properly.
The best owners in about 20,000 km of vehicle brake pads check is usually the case, replace the brake pads at around 30,000 km. Normally, the owner can be hand touch the tire wall after stopping to check brakes, a tire wall temperature is particularly high, most likely the brake pads there is a problem, owners should immediately go to the 4S shop on the brake pads inspection.
Tips: Do not stepping on the brake, driving the best gear to control the speed when going downhill
A brake shoe generally iron linings and friction materials, components, must not be such as friction material part of mill to replace the shoe. Limit the shoe must be replaced, even if still used for some time, will reduce the braking effect, the impact of traffic safety.
Replacement hoof films must use special tools to brake wheel cylinders, top back. Can not use other crowbar hard-pressed to back, so easy to cause the brake caliper guide screws bend, brake pads stuck.
Replacement after kicks brakes, be sure to step on in order to eliminate the gap of the shoe and the brake disc, resulting in the first foot did not brake, and prone to accidents. The brake shoe replacement, the need to run 200 kilometers in order to achieve the best braking effect, just for the shoe to be cautious driving.
Motor vehicle headlamps - moving to replace about 50,000 km or 2 years
Car headlights, commonly known as "headlights", charged with driving at night lighting, headlight is equivalent to the eyes of the car. The headlights of the "soul" is the light bulb, whose performance will influence the effect of lighting at night is directly related to traffic safety.
Depending on the luminous principle, the headlight bulbs can be divided into several types of vacuum lamps, halogen lamps and xenon lamps, etc.. Vacuum lamps and halogen lamps are cheap, common use, but life expectancy was short, generally a few hundred hours. Xenon lamp service life can reach 2500 to 3000 hours, and better lighting effects, but higher prices. Of course, regardless of what type of light bulbs, the basic maintenance of common sense are similar.
Regular maintenance required to replace the oil filter, also need regular replacement headlight bulbs. Generally speaking, each traveling 50,000 km or 2 years or so the brightness of the headlight bulb will be reduced, then best to 4S store detected, if indeed there was the brightness is insufficient, it is recommended to replace the lamp, both sides of the recommendation about replaced in order to avoid the brightness is not the same on both sides of the case. I was not timely replacement bulb is weakened resulting in annual inspection wasted time.
Light levels weakened a shade aging, due to the environmental impact of the same to make the headlight brightness reduced to 50% or more. Shade dirt and aging also make fuzzy light, gives rise to vertigo, shade aging also timely replacement.
Tip: Do not use low-quality bulbs, light bulbs is not the more expensive the better
The bulb replacement is not more expensive the better, should choose the model of their own models, another xenon lamp modified strict requirements for the lighting system circuit can not be readily agree. If the modification caused by spontaneous combustion vehicles, and other issues, the insurance company is not to be paid and
Inferior bulb life is short, can not guarantee the stable quality. Second, high-quality bulbs with light of high brightness, while the inferior bulb brightness, focus, lack of concentration, a range of nearly overtaking, the driver will make a visual illusion, prone to accidents. In addition, poor lighting due to poor sealing, rain or car wash, easy to water, make light fog, can cause severe short circuit fire. Therefore, in their own conversion headlights or cause of damage needs to be replaced, do not consider inferior bulb.
(3) the owners of the best do not adjust the lights, especially luxury cars, the headlights of some vehicles with steering servo function, Do not try to regulate their own.
Summary: car parts and human organs must often pay attention to maintenance and maintenance of such a car in order to maintain the health and safety of the traveling state, thereby prolonging the life of the vehicle, in fact, vulnerable parts of the car, there are many, such as - spark plugs, engine timing belts, oil filters, air filters, fuel filters, brakes, brake pipe, brake oil, power oil, antifreeze, glass of water and so on. Of each car has its own maintenance manual car's vulnerable parts and replacement, we recommend you to a trusted repair shop or 4S shop to do the regular check-ups so as to eliminate hidden dangers, and also the car is a good driving state.
