This time of year, spring is almost here, after the hot summer days “(I hope)
Anyway, it’s time, our cars and trucks ready for the spring and summer:
Under the hood
The engine oil, I suggest, to change oil and filter
Coolant (which, color and strength) works not only with water and antifreeze hold from -45 to -50 C or F
Air conditioning, check it out now, not wait until summer when it is hot, (your wife and the children will not be very happy if it does not work)
Transmission, it is for a shipment? How does it work with the smell of oil? Is the beautiful red color? How do you make? (Delays, hesitations, dents, the slow involvement) is the level within the limits? See Leaks?
Power steering, again verify that the odor and leakage.
Belts and hoses to crack and / or kitschy pipes, hoseclamps and check whether the terminal clamps type spring, give them special attention (I saw in half, and the radhose off), you can guess what next summer!
Battery and cables, pliers, and be kept clean, check the battery, which supports.
Candles, when the last tune-up? Some motors have “long life” in the jam, but if you are 60,000 kilometers or miles on your vehicle, pull once or twice taken to see how they look. Check the plugwires (corrosion, oil, cracked) to replace, it could be that you are on a long hill, you will find that cutting the engine (can be only one or two lines)
Airfilter, I think that the filter is the forgotten, the under the hood. Can you light, if you have a lamp (lamp of course LOL), I have very dirty, where the air can happen when the engine is not enough ‘air, it just works more air and more fuel used today is the Price of fuel …… Well, you fill the vacuum. You can clean the filter by running against a wall, check again, then replace them when necessary.
Washer fluids, what I do, is now my washer fluid summer, you know, pink stuff (the bug for the removal of liquids). If the container itself, it is easy to him, so you have some antifreeze washer (even if they are cool).
As part of the vehicle
Exhaust system, whether the leaks, damage, rust, heat, etc. (Think of the fumes can be deadly)
Director, if all parts of duty, (remember, potholes and click?)
Suspension, make sure the joints, shock absorbers, springs, shock absorbers. (all of these elements can be your vehicle looks like a donkey on a narrow way) (You can change this picture?) All jokes to be done, the failure of one of these parts you can lose control of your vehicle!
Ride height see low hanging parties, ie. lower the exhaust system, brakes, fuel, wiring harness, etc.
Engine / gearbox mounts Swaybar whether any cracks or wear pins.
Outside the vehicle,
Wipers, replace wiperblades winter of last year when the leaves are still good to use. (also with leaves in winter, when it is still good, until the autumn of next year)
All lights, all lights are out replace. (forget the light is the brake light bulbs and license plate) Also check for the amount of the light beam of the headlights, fog light and drive included. (we all had a vehicle comes to us with lights adapted)
Tires, tires with off Spornrad, (most states and provinces have a law against the tire studs at a certain time) Do you remember the IT and 4RM …… also around the size of the tires (I recommend: same size, same brand!)
The tire pressure, as shown on the driver’s door or in the owners manual.
In the interior of the vehicle.
Brakes, feel like the brakes? When the pedal is spongy and the brakes do not work so well that they should be May, the air in the system and / or the brake rotors / Battery pads / shoes are empty. (Remember, poor brakes, the process of the vehicle, it ……… whoooo Nellie)
Brake and hazard (lamp on the dashboard), this should be a few seconds the first time that you start the engine if all OK, and stay off the coast.
Generally, I believe that we all know, a private vehicle and drive the best, so that the child has a good warm bath and, with a layer carpolish on them, and they will be like a happy bee totals.
Happy Motoring and security.
