Exterior vehicle maintenance
On autumn mornings, there is a lot of dew and the surface of the car is often very damp. If there are obvious scratches on the surface of your car, you should spray paint in time to prevent the scratched parts from getting wet and rusting. In addition, the car paint surface will inevitably be oxidized due to corrosion caused by rain and acid in summer, as well as direct sunlight in summer. As the seasons change, it's a good idea to give your car's surface a range of cosmetic treatments, from cleaning and polishing to waxing, glazing or painting.
Do a good job in maintaining air conditioning
This summer is extremely hot and many places have experienced temperatures of almost 40 degrees. Therefore, everyone likes to hide in the car and turn on the air conditioning. However, when the cair conditioner works at high load almost every day, the car often drives on ford roads. Over time, sediments and impurities attack the condenser and the condensation network. Therefore, condenser failure will affect the life of the air conditioner. In addition, bacteria produced by impurities will also be blown into the car through the air conditioning outlet, causing mold spots. So, before the onset of autumn, it is possible to carry out maintenance on the air conditioning system of your beloved car.
Check the engine and "two oils and one fluid"
Summer is a good season to drive and enjoy the scenery. However, after a summer, the engine, especially in the cars of "old drivers" who often travel long distances alone, is best to check the engine regularly. At the same time, you also need to check the "two oils and one fluid": oilengine, brake fluid and antifreeze. If there are defects, they must be added in time to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle.
Maintenance of the air inlet and electronic fan
It rains enough in summer, and the air inlet is usually eroded by rainwater. Additionally, fall is the season of falling leaves. park your car at this time. Under a large tree, the leaves will begin to fall. Be sure to check these areas for debris. If there is debris, clean it up in time.
Interior maintenance cannot be ignored
The humid environment in summer can lead to the growth of bacteria in the car. Many car owners put plush toys in the car, which is also a "breeding ground for dust and bacteria. In addition, in some places, dust and bacteria can easily accumulate in the seats, carpets,dashboards, floor mats, seat gaps, interior doors and rear compartments. As temperatures drop in the fall, windows are opened much less often, exacerbating the problems left over from summer. The relatively closed space in the car will make the air quality in the car very poor, affecting the health of the car passengers. It is therefore necessary to thoroughly clean the interior of your car.
Wiper blade repair
Summers are hot and rainy, and windshield wipers run frequently. Additionally, the wiper blades are made of rubber. Affected by high temperatures, wiper blades are prone. to aging. Once clean, it should be replaced in time. Water in car windows should also be checked. Winter is coming, it is better to replace it with anti-freeze glass water.
Tyres
Tyres aret like our feet. In summer, in order to avoid punctures, we generally reduce tire pressure. As the temperature gradually decreases, care should be taken to restore the tire pressure to the specified pressure range, carefully check the tires for hidden damage, and clean the stones. Check for bulges on the inner and outer walls of the tire. Because when the temperature is lower, the toughness of the tire rubber decreases, causing it to harden and become brittle, increasing the risk of air leakage.
Maintenance of the brake system
The brake system mainly involves the inspection of the brake pads and brake fluid. The mileage of a normal brake system is between 18,000 and 60,000 kilometers, and the specific life of the brake pads is related to the driver's driving habits and the quality of the brake pads in thedriving environment. When /, the thickness of new brake pads is generally around 1.5cm.
Brake fluid, because it rains a lot in summer, it is easy for a little water to seep into the brake system, making the car brakes soft, the brake system braking of the car must therefore be checked. time. Be sure to check if the brakes are weakened or deflected, if the force of the brake pedal is changed and, if necessary, clean the entire section of the brake system pipeline.
Battery “greening”
The most likely place to have problems in cars in the fall is at the electrode connections of the car battery. If there is green oxide during inspection, it should be treated as quickly as possible. Don't object. In fact, these green oxides can cause insufficient power in the alternator and even damage the battery.e, making the car unable to start.
Maintenance of heating ducts and fans
When the weather becomes cold in autumn, white frost will appear when the temperature is low. You should pay special attention to whether the air outlet from the defroster vent under the windshield is normal and whether the heat is sufficient. If the defrost function is not normal, it will greatly affect the driver's vision and cause many problems and dangerous factors when driving. If there is a problem, it must be resolved quickly. Also check for debris at the air outlet. If there is debris, clean it immediately!
Exhaust pipe
Many people ignore this place during fall maintenance. In summer, in heavy rain, the exhaust pipe will be corroded by rain. When the temperature drops in autumn, water often flows from the exhaust. CepenHowever, the angle of inclination of many car exhaust pipes is not large enough for water to flow along the end of the exhaust pipe. Under high temperature conditions, water can easily corrode the exhaust pipe, so it is necessary to properly protect the rear end of the exhaust pipe. It is best to use anti-rust paint or varnish on the end of the exhaust pipe for anti-rust treatment.
These are problems that are easily exposed in summer. In autumn, we should spend some time to pay attention to the condition of our cars and do some maintenance, so as to avoid more problems when driving in summer. the future. Thus saving more time.
