Let Save Gasoline with Prevent Ban Less Wind

Ban Less Wind
At first glance the car tires that are less hard not to bring any problems. Extent not so deflated, the car is still okay to drive, so that usually comes to mind. Even some car owners also prefer the tire pressure is reduced from the ideal standard. The reason to make it more tender. From now on it's worth throwing away the habit. Due to the lack of tire pressure did have an adverse and dangerous effects.

Low pressure is the main enemy of tire life. Tires are less wind it feels softer. This is because bending the tire increases. But the effect is the tire will experience excessive heat. Layers can be peeled off the tire as a result of such high heating. Bespectacled man added that tire pressure is less able to experience the separation bonds between the components of the tire. Visually tire walls will be cracked. Even more dangerous, due to less tread movement winds will increase and can cause tire burst! So make no mistake, broke the tires do not just caused by the excess of wind, but also because of less wind.

On a less tire pressure, the more frequently exposed to the road surface is the side of the palm. So this is the most rapid part wear out and thin. Tires must be replaced even if the palms were still good. This is a waste. Age tires so shorter than normal. And if the normal pressure, tires will wear out evenly in a longer period of time. So if you want to save money as well as survivors, it is better never to let the tire in less wind conditions.

Caring for the Car, Can Not Carelessly Ways

How to Take Care Car Radiator

Car Radiator
Car engine ignition system in working with the hot conditions. Combustion of gasoline in the combustion chamber generates heat that will produce mechanical energy to drive the piston and rotate cruck as (crank shaft) and then channeled to the wheels.

The more heat engine, the more efficiently it works. But the heat is limited by the heat resistance of the piston and head are usually made of aluminum or cast iron dai. Most machines today are designed to work optimally at normal working temperature of about 195-2200 F, ideal hot conditions that will generate maximum performance and fuel consumption are ideal.

When experiencing a overheated engine, the first thing that happens is the engine feels ngelitik or coughing, and began to lose power. This is caused by a combination of heat and pressure that exceeds the engine room of our fuel octane. The combination was able to cause severe damage to pistons, piston rings, and rod bearings. Additionally, excess heat and pressure can bend the head, especially those made of aluminum.

What the hell, the cause of overheating? Radiator could be because the content is less, leaks in the radiator and radiator hoses and water-jacket (in the engine cooling water channels) filled with dirt. Thermostat can also be triggered by conditions that do not mebuka maximum cap, water pump does not work optimally, the radiator cap which was ugly then an extra fan to death.

If this happens, check the thermostat. The working principle is to drain the water thermostat at an ideal temperature, 80-90 degrees Celsius. So this thing will open and drain the water to circulate from the engine coolant to the radiator so the engine temperature is optimally maintained.

How to check it out, boil the thermostat until the temperature reaches 80-90 degrees Celsius. When opened, the normal means. But when opening partially or even not open at all, please replace with new.

No harm in seeing conditions thermoswitch. Usually mounted on the radiator. This sensor will work at a temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius and will turn on the extra fan to cool the radiator. If you see any problems, try to boil the water reaches a temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius, Measure its resistance with a multimeter. The resulting figure should be zero which means it works well.

Next, check the extra fan. See if an extra fan to work properly. If necessary replace the fans with extra blades more weeks to get a better cooling effect. Check also if the radiator cap is still in good shape, because the pressure is reduced as a result of a bad radiator cap to suppress boiling point of water cooling.

Water pump works to download Circulate the water from the engine to the radiator, usually the blades on the water pump gradually eroded, until his work was not optimal. After that, check the radiator grille. Objects made of aluminum that serves as a coolant. Make sure that the radiator is not clogged, the radiator can be brought into service to be scraped or cleaned.

Water Jacket is a water channel in the machine that serves to drain the water that will cool the engine. Use a radiator flush to clean the crust that accumulates in the water jacket. (*)

Tips:
  1. Combine the water with the radiator coolant. Could be 50/50 or 70/30 mix of maximum.
  2. Note the sign lights overheating.
  3. Stop the vehicle, parked until normal conditions return.
  4. Do not force run the vehicle if the lights lit overheat.
  5. Never remove the thermostat.

Do not dismiss spark plug wires on car care

car care
An car ignition system consists of spark plugs, CDI, or often called platinum and coils. Among the three, there is one more component that is sometimes not really noticed the spark plug wires. Spark plug wire serves as a conductor of electric current generated by the coil to the spark plug so that the spark plug capable of heating meletikkan sparks to burn a mixture of gasoline and air in the combustion chamber.

Because of its function as a conductor that is, the spark plug wires that used to be good quality so that ignition takes place smoothly. Spark plug wires have a certain size that must be met. To ensure the quality penghantarannya, spark plug wires are good when measured by avometer be full. Number is about 150 micro farads. Delivery should be a nice addition, wrapping the cord should be fine, heat resistant and not easily torn. It is recommended that vehicle owners choose a cable that read High Power Resistance.

High resistance power cable is more heat resistant than others. The price is quite varied. Cable is not good sometimes to make a car engine faltering. The effect is almost the same as when the spark plugs disturbed.

In addition to the spark plug wires, spark plug replacement should also be noted the time. Usually if you have not been damaged, the owner did not want to change. Though normally a distance of approximately 150,000 km. If in the official service usually 6 months to be replaced. Spark plug replacement is recommended in unison so that engine performance is not limping. At least half of the required number of spark plugs should be replaced simultaneously.

Wipers cause streaks on the car windshield

car windshield
Question: If it rains, my wipers turn on and the sound continues, even a scratch, on the car windshield I wonder why?

answer
Splash of water that rains will obstruct vision of motorists, so make sure the wipers are in good health. Wiper helps remove rainwater and dew glass. If the wipers are showing signs of stalled or later, immediately check the electric system. Usually the damage caused by electrical currents that break up or the gears are broken relationship, or a broken fuse, and damage to the starter motor. If the wiper moving normally, but can not wipe the rain water properly, usually due to a hard rubber wiper. So will cause scratches on glass. Replace the new wiper rubber, so as not to interfere with vision when driving in rainy season.

Easy Tips to Care Car Batteries

Car Batteries
FOLLOWING are some guidelines to treat a car battery. Car Care Tips Battery Check regularly the condition of battery acid (if you're wearing wet battery). If the indicator states the lack of water, immediately add the battery acid in accordance with the measuring, before the car is turned on in the morning. Battery acid should have always maintained between the sign of low-level and upper level (usually indicated on the side of the battery).

If you are under the low-level immediately added, and the maximum at the upper level line. Because, battery acid works to help cool the battery cells. If battery acid is reduced, the cells inside the battery may become deformed (curved).

Once filled with special water battery charger, set aside some time, just turn on your car. Periodically also please check the battery terminals (positive and negative). Check whether there is corrosion or not. Corrosion can be cleaned by spraying hot water on both terminus.

If you want to turn off the car, please turn off the first electrical components, such as outside lights, air conditioning, radio / tape, CDs, phone charger, and others. If the car will not be used in a long time, off the negative terminal on your battery.

Head of the battery is removed it so wrapped in cloth, to keep the negative terminal is not in contact with the body of the car. Every 3 months, if you visit to the workshop, please do check the condition of electrical charging of the car.

Age Car Batteries is usually one year. Can more than 1 year old, but it depends on maintenance of the vehicle owner.

Suddenly A Car Strike? This Is Some Reason

Car Strike
Have comfortable while driving, the car suddenly breaking down or stalled the engine? Many factors cause the machine crashed, starting from the ignition system until the fuel system. There is a good car owner to understand several factors that often interfere with the performance of the engine. Workshop Technician classify five causes of death machines.

Cars that are still using carburizing system, a dirty carburetor can make a machine breaking down. Dirty carburetor makes the engine work so hot quickly overwhelmed. If excessive heat, the engine will die. The second factor is the coil damage due to overheating. The cause could be due to the heat coil is weak or the installation of resistors that are not true. Resistor serves to reduce the large electrical currents coming into the coil. If one pair of resistors coil will overheat and die. As a result, the electricity was off.

In applying injection engine, a dirty fuel filter can cause the engine to die. Dirt will reduce the volume of gas flow, so the machine was not working optimally. Machine so burdened as it requires extra effort to suck up extra petrol. As a result the same, so the engine overheated. Weak gasoline pump also causes effects such as dirty filters, namely the addition of the machine workload. Yunan recommends routine check every 50,000 miles to determine the condition of filters and pumps.

The last factor is the most common is interference with the electrical system. Injection systems for automobiles, generally crank sensor could be causing the engine to die. This sensor serves to provide a signal to the control unit to operate the ignition. If the signal is weak, then the ignition will be interrupted. Other components included in the electrical system is the spark plug wires. Sometimes physically, spark plug wires are still good but maybe a conductor in which there is a break. As a result the electric current supplied was reduced. Although the car still can walk, if given a bit like turning an AC load or higher engine speeds are not strong and died.

To anticipate these things, there is no other way but to do orderly conduct periodic tune ups. At least every 10,000 miles. Less than that is better, but do not actually too often. If too often, according to the detriment of Yunan for causing the rubber and bolts quickly wear out, especially in the carburetor.

Consider Tread Wear Indicator, Not Thickness Tires

Thickness Tires
Car tires do not have expiry dates. Origin still meet the standards, the tires still comfortable and safe to use everyday driving. Tire life is determined by the physical condition of the tires. Most people assess the condition of the tires of the thickness. Apparently this is not always right. Usually when kembangannya still looks good, people judge her tires are still viable and meet the standards of wear, but not necessarily.
.
Lifetime of the tire is actually marked with the Tread Wear Indocator. Tread Wear Indocator is a bar-code there is small rubber between the tread blocks. Tread Wear Indocator have a certain size that is 1.6 mm thick for passenger car tires and 2.4 mm for the used light truck tires. At the thickness of the tread is the same height as the Tread Wear Indocator, indicates the tire has reached the limits of safe use and must be replaced for safety reasons. Not many are aware of the existence of Tread Wear Indocator and function. And this will determine the safety of our journey.

Tires that had crossed the line Tread Wear Indocator will lose its grip on power of the media path. Yet according to car tires have a very heavy task. When driving a car, car tires support the load function and its load, absorb shocks due to the condition of the road cars, as well as help control the direction of the vehicle braking by reducing vehicle speed. Ban also serves to move the pull (traction) on the surface of the ground vehicles. These tasks make the tire pressure down, front-rear and right-left continuously when the car is driven.

If it weakens the strength cengkramnya automatic steering response and stability will decrease. You can imagine what will happen if a car is difficult to control, especially if already driven in high speed. Therefore, immediately replace the tires when it reaches the limit Indocator Tread Wear safety reasons of course above all else

Easy Tips to Care Car Audio

Care Car Audio
Car audio device not infrequently becomes a device that helps the driver to escape from the fatigue caused by prolonged driving or stuck in traffic. Therefore the audio must be arranged always in the best condition and ready to operate whenever needed. The key is to treat these devices as well. What things to do in caring for or maintaining the condition of the following tips on caring for car audio car audio.

The first thing that must be preserved is the electrical system or batteries. Accu must be really good because if no electric current is maximal or unstable. This could damage the components of an audio device. The second thing is the installation. This factor should really be considered, especially for owners who already mengupgade audio device. Most of the damage caused by the way audio installation that is less true. For example the laying of the cable snafu or speaker placement that does not fit. If it caught on something it goes bad.

Especially for the placement of speakers in the doors, it is suggested that the placement is not too into the door and be given a ring of wood on the outside. If not, then can hit the water when the car in the rain. Installing holds an important key in the treatment of audio devices. If installation is correct, then the treatment is quite simple, but if any, treatment is more troublesome.

The way was also influential in setting the audio condition. Do not adjust the volume of loud audio continuously for 1-2 hours. There should be jedanya. High volume setting will make the device power terforsir. If too long will overheat and could be easily damaged, he said. The dusty CD also thought not to be directly inserted into the audio.

Must be cleaned first, so that its optical drive can be durable. For cleanliness, advised car owners to prepare a small brush. For those that use 3-way speaker system, there must be some small speakers around the dashboard. Use a small brush to clean the dust on the sepaker.

Active Stabilizer Audio System, makes car sound more comfortable

car sound
Devices this one seems to be possessed by the car audio enthusiast. Its function is to make audio sound better, but keep the car audio system from shock and vibration due to impassable road conditions. His name is active stabilzer

The shape is just a pure thick rubber mounted on the suspension. Installation is simple because it is only affixed to the per. Although look simple, the damper function is remarkable. Rubber damper is already installed will make the suspension more tender because it is actively able to dampen shocks and vibrations. Charge devices including car audio systems become more secure, driving became more comfortable.

Work Shockbreaker also be rather light, so age could be more durable. Other impacts caused by the damping is increased braking response. Test results on the ground by one of the leading automotive magazines prove braking distances up to a total stop cars could be reduced approximately 4.5 kilometers while
braking at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

Due to the incredible functionality, consumers should be careful. Yes, because it came out kind of imitation goods. Material characteristics is more fake limp and soft because it is made of synthetic rubber. If mounted on springs, of course there will be no impact because the soft rubber dampers can not be good.

How to choose a quality auto repair shop

auto repair shop
High work activities demanding comfort. Moreover, if the activity is using the car daily. Four-wheel vehicles would be okay we've got, if any maintenance taken seriously by professional experts.

We must be smart in choosing a car repair shop that will become our subscription, select the auto repair shop of cheap but quality is bafus. If you want proof, just come straight to the garage the car by trying to care there. Treatment usually includes interior, exterior and engine.

Treatment includes cleaning the interior of total, dashboard, door trim up to the passenger seat. For exterior body can eliminate mold, crust, scratches body to restore the paint to look new. Process on the exterior, it is clear Doni include removal of mold in the glass.

If the engine can clean the crust in the engine, the remaining oil. Then there is the coating until the dressing. Old saloon cars in our workmanship 4-5 hours. We have warranty 1 x 24 hours. There are even services antarjemput up in a radius of 5 kilometers from the workshop.

Car Parking Sensor Assistant

Car Parking
Car Parking Sensor Assistant, If installed, the tool is only visible as black dots on the rear bumper of the car. There is a two-some are made ​​up of four rows of dots. Its function as an indicator that detects objects behind the car. If the car is approaching things backwards, mounted on a dashboard display will inform the location of objects on the left or right car and the approximate distance by car.

The distance that can be detected starting about 1-3 meters. For this type of detector that is simpler, the display is replaced with a voice alarm that sounds if rear bumper of a car approaching an obstacle. For the price of using the alarm sound is more expensive than the sensor that uses the full display.

Do not dismiss Car Care, Oil and Temperature Engine

Car Care
Sometimes when we already have a car you want, we seringlupa things that are important in terms of maintenance.

The engine has always been one of the main focus when we are going to buy a used car or even a new one. Because the engine is the brains of the car itself. If the car engine trouble, get ready just drained the contents of the bag. Ever down the engine? Yes, that's what happens when the engine is damaged and could not work properly.

In addition to costly replacement auto parts are very expensive, it runs can make us travel without using the vehicle's pet. Therefore, take care of personal automobile engine is just as important as dressing the outside appearance. Useless if from the outside look beautiful, but inside it only took a machine that already want damaged. Well, that all okay, see some car care guide below.

  1. Replace the Engine Oil Mobil Oil is a vital part of the machine. His role is to reduce internal friction inside the engine. Without a good oil, will be more susceptible to friction inside the engine and cause certain machines easily damaged or worn. Thus, the function of oil can make the machine more durable. Oil will continue to happen fast if the condensed combustion, so if you've been traveling a lot, will more often you change the oil and obey the advice of a mechanic, on how many kilometers we have to return for servicing and replacing engine oil. In this way, the machine will be more durable.
  2. Note Altitude Engine Oil oil level should also be routinely checked for each machine is started, the heat produced may be just vaporize the oil, so that the height of the oil will be reduced.
  3. Always Check the condition of the car radiator Radiator serves to keep the engine temperature is always stable. So that the radiator is the part that serves to keep the engine in order not to heat faster. Always a time to time to check the radiator, including a leak check, replacement of water, thus maintaining the performance of the radiator.

Piston Ring Car May Not Fussy

car maintence
Engine performance is one important concern of motorists. The most delicious, so stepped on the gas spur kitchen car responds very maximum. Motorists must not complain when the engine feels powerful. Not only because of engine trouble, but practically such a phenomenon also shows the wasteful fuel consumption. In general, one that causes this condition is the existence of leakage of engine compression. Normal compression will result in a maximum engine power.

Compression becomes abnormal when there is a leak. Leaks can cause compression of the engine decreases. So that the output of the engines is small. Among the several possibilities that can cause leaks is damage to the piston ring. Components are located inside the engine can be scratched (aus) or dirty. The relationship between the condition of piston rings and engine leaks are very strong, considering the piston rings plays an important role in maintaining the density between the piston and cylinder wall.

With this density, piston rings will prevent too much fuel and air mixture into the oil chamber. This must be prevented because when too much into the oil chamber, will cause the engine compression pressure decreases. Well, if the engine power to feel weak with symptoms as above, try to focus attention to the problem of compression. How, do a compression pressure test. There are special tools that can be used which can show pressure compression standard that allowed by each vehicle. When the compression pressure was below standard, the next step is to find the cause of the problem of compression.

The relationship between compression and damage the piston ring can be determined by adding oil into the cylinder during the compression tests. This test needs to be done considering the cause compression to leak not only damage to the piston ring. Can also be caused by worn valve seals and valves, cylinder head gasket (gasket) can not close the cylinder block and cylinder head. If, compression rises after oil is added, then only the two main causes, cylinder walls and piston rings.

If proven piston ring is broken, the only solution is to overhaul. Actually, the above problems can be avoided. Namely, by performing routine maintenance. Especially, related to engine oil and engine cooling system (radiator water). Oil should be checked and replaced regularly. Substitution of oil depends on the type used. Can every 5,000 kilometers, 10,000 kilometers and so on. Depending on the manufacturer's recommendations and the activities of automotive oil. Quantity and quality of oil must also be examined. Must be between the lines E and F. More save when in position F. Likewise, the radiator water. Quantity and quality must be maintained. Do not arise excessive corrosion that could hinder the process of cooling the engine.

Car Care : Sport Wiring System

Car Care
This cable system devices to make car owners solve problems effectively headlamp. If the headlamp does not light up well despite the bulbs are still normal, just plug the wiring system is just sport.

No need to search for the cable next to where the cause of the problem because the connection from the battery to the headlamp and fog lamp wiring was routed through the sport of this system.

Making Modifications Car Stay Comfortable and Safe

Modifications Car
Foot car into the target brain-tweaking the car modification lovers. Most of the legs shortened to create the impression of "flat". The more "flat", because the car seems more stylish look more unique and much different from the original version.

Changing the legs is fine, but there are some things that should be taken to ensure that modifications do not affect the comfort and driving safety. It is recommended that car owners do not arbitrarily shorten the legs of a car.

If a replaced the suspension should also be adjusted. Do not change a course but still wearing the original Shockbreaker. Its effect on the level of comfort and safety. One-one car could be giddy. In general, changes made ​​after the owner change a wheel with a larger size. These changes are necessary to improve the appearance and comfort.

If larger wheels replaced the automatic spacing between the tires with fender so increased that looks less good. The suspension also grew louder. The solution is to shorten the per. If a shortened, then Shockbreaker should be replaced with something stronger to compensate.

Because the shorter the spring, the soft suspension or reduction of the length per software also has its limits. Faisal, who had 20 years to cultivate the fields of the legs suggest this car for 4-5 cm.Lebih safe limit of 5 cm, comfort will decrease drastically and could disrupt the movement. How to shorten a can be done by cutting or replace it with a Lower Ring kit. The latter is a specially produced shorter than the standard version.

Stickers still Beautiful, Car Paint More Durable

Car Paint
Install the sticker on the car body is generally intended to add a pattern or color accent on the original car color of innocence. It could also be for purposes of branding for a particular company. As the car paint, stickers already installed on the car were also requires maintenance and cleaning. The goal of that sticker still seems interesting that the overall appearance of the car was still beautiful. There are a few suggestions that could be considered before and after installing bumper sticker.
Before installing the decal, first check the quality of paint. Original paint that still will not be disturbed if fitted sticker. But that does not paint a full body re likely to be peeled off if the sticker is removed. If repainted but only in-SPET in part, would be peeled off. Most car owners do not understand this and tend to blame the mounting stickers.

High-quality adhesive stickers will not damage car paint if exfoliated. One nice feature is the sticker glue is odorless. Available colors are also brighter and stronger, just like the color of car paint. Good quality can last up to 5 years. But a year is cheap wrote faded or peeling.

Car paint now that most contain elements of metallic colors require more rigorous treatment if fitted sticker. Installation of a sticker that simply stipping or certain motifs are advised not done for long periods of time. The reason is, this will make the paint become discolored if the sticker is removed. If not cleaned often and frequently bronzed, the use of stickers may still survive 1-2 years. But if rarely cleaned and are often hot, the paint was not covered stickers will be more dull than the paint that covered the sticker. This does not happen if the sticker attached nge-block the entire body. Even more durable paint.

The sticker is mounted on the car, attempted not exposed to drugs whose shape cream cleanser. Drug-shaped cream is left on the pore surface of the sticker, not as fluid is more easily cleaned with water. This will make the colors more stickers fade and not shiny anymore. Because it is porous, the more frequent washing, car stickers will be more shiny.rs

Automatic Car Door Lock

Automatic Car Door Lock
There are several types of cars not equipped with automatic locking system. Although already equipped with an alarm system, car owners such as the Honda City and the Nissan Grand Livina XV and some other types of cars still have to lock the doors manually before abandoning his car in the parking lot. Fuss, if I forget going nuisance.

To complete it, Maestro offers Auto Lock device. This tool is integrated with an alarm can be operated so that once a push, active alarms at once all the doors locked automatically.
