How to make your car achieve low cost and high quality maintenance during this summer

First, the maintenance of vehicle maintenance knowledge There are two main aspects of vehicle maintenance, first, by the maintenance station to provide you with mandatory maintenance. On the other hand, some daily maintenance of the owner himself. The normal maintenance of the vehicle relates to the service life of the vehicle and the safety of the driver. Improper maintenance or use can cause vehicle failures and pose safety hazards. Therefore, in addition to carrying out mandatory maintenance at our repair station on time, you should also perform daily maintenance work, which is beneficial to the "health" of the vehicle. Many users of Hainan Mazda's vehicles have not experienced major faults in good driving conditions after 600,000 kilometers, benefiting from meticulous daily maintenance.

After the purchase of the car, please read the "Product Quality Assurance" and "Operating Instructions" attached to the vehicle carefully. The detailed instructions for use and maintenance are provided in the "User's Manual". You should carefully read and follow them to ensure that the vehicle is always In good use. The following brief introduction to vehicle maintenance knowledge, hoping to provide you with some help.

1. Check engine oil level Park the vehicle on a level road. Pull out the vernier to check the amount of oil. If the oil is within the two markings (F) and (L), it is within the normal range, if it is lower than the (L) position. The specified model should be added. The level after refueling must not be higher than the (F) position.

2. Check the level of the engine coolant. When the engine is in the warm state, do not open the radiator cover, otherwise it may be burned by the spilled coolant or high-temperature steam. After the engine is cooled, check that the liquid level of the coolant is between the full and low levels. Otherwise, add distilled water or purified water (not with mineral water) or frozen liquid. The height of the liquid after adding water cannot exceed the full level. If it is found that the cooling liquid is quickly reduced in a short time, check the cooling system for leaks or to check it at the service station.

3, brake fluid level inspection brake is also normal between high and low position. If the brake fluid is close to the lower limit or lower than the lower limit, it indicates that there may be a leak in the system or the brake shoe wears too much. The maintenance station should be promptly repaired.

When adding brake fluid, pay attention to adding the same type of brake fluid to prevent damage to the bowl. Pay attention to protecting the paint from corrosion.

4. Check the clutch prime surface The clutch fluid level is normal between high and low fluid levels. If it is lower than the standard line, it may be damage to the master or sub-pump. In the running state of the engine, it will be difficult to file or unable to file. Please visit the nearest service station immediately.

5, battery maintenance check Check the battery is fixed, the electrolyte should be between the upper and lower limits, close to the lower line should be added in time to add electrolyte or distilled water to the high line. Keep positive and negative battery cables in good contact, and keep the battery clean and dry. Vehicles that have been placed for a long time must take off the positive and negative cables of the battery. After about half an hour or so of reconnecting and starting the engine, about 20 minutes later, if the battery is obviously insufficient, charge it in time.

6. Check the tires Every month, check the tire pressure at room temperature. If it is lower than the normal standards, the tire pressure should be replenished in time. The pressure cannot be too high or too low, otherwise it will affect the safety of driving.

Check the cracking condition of the tire. When there is a safety hazard, replace the tire in time.

When selecting tires, they should be the same type.

7. Belt inspection When starting the engine or driving the vehicle normally, the belt sounds. In one case, the belt is not checked and adjusted for a long time. Adjust according to normal standards. Another situation is the aging of the belt and it needs to be replaced.

8. Inspection of the air filter The dirty air filter can cause poor engine operation, excessive fuel consumption, and damage to the engine. When the air filter is inspected, if there is less dust and lighter clogging, high pressure air can be used from the inside to the inside. Blow it out and continue to use it. Dirty air filters should be replaced in a timely manner.

9, spark plug inspection normal spark plug insulation ceramic intact. There is no crack leakage phenomenon, spark plug gap 0.8 + -0.0mm discharge, the spark is blue, strong. If abnormality is found, adjust the gap or replace the spark plug.

10, check the fuel filter If you find oil is not smooth should check the fuel filter is blocked, such as foreign body blockage should be replaced.

Second, the summer car maintenance 1, protect the paint surface summer temperatures rise, the sun often explodes, the car paint is obviously bad, for car owners caring for their own car face, we must pay attention to the protection of a good car paint, often car wash and Waxing. If you still want to give your car paint a more thorough protection work, if you want to do more thorough protection work, it is recommended to be a lacquer seal or coating, to wear a layer of “crystal protective clothing” .

2, to prevent the evaporation of high temperatures in the summer, oil and water evaporation will increase, so be sure to cover the fuel tank cap tightly, tubing to prevent leakage; often check the water level of the tank, crankcase oil level, height, brake The height of the brake fluid in the main pump, the density of the electrolyte in the battery, and the height of the liquid surface. When it is not stipulated, add and adjust in time.

3, to prevent flat tires in summer high temperature, the use of automotive tires more harsh environment, so we must pay attention to do a good job of inspection and maintenance of automotive tires, regular tire pressure checks to prevent puncture.

4, check the brake system is a rainy season in summer, wet road surface during the wet season caused by the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface is reduced, especially in the case of water accumulation in the tire pattern, the friction coefficient is lower, a sensitive braking system is particularly important , so always check the brake system and try to be prepared.

5, to keep the car clean and tidy In the summer of love to drive the windows, a variety of harmful gases and pollutants will be attached to the velvet fabric fabric seats, ceilings, and frequent cleaning. Plastic parts such as dashboards and door trims should be cleaned and cleaned with a universal brush. In order to prevent surface cracking and aging after UV irradiation, a layer of surface wax can be applied after cleaning. Prevention of overheating of the engine: In summer, the ambient temperature is high and the engine is prone to overheating. Therefore, in the summer, the inspection and maintenance of the engine cooling system should be strengthened, including water tanks, thermostats, water pumps, fans, etc., and cooling water should be added in time. When the water temperature exceeds 100°C, cool down in the cool place, allow the engine to run idly, and open the hood to facilitate heat dissipation.

6. Self-ignition and self-exploding auto summer auto-ignition situation, except that some of the reasons for the design failure of some models, improper operation or hidden dangers are also the main reason for the auto-ignition of the auto, because the summer temperatures are high, the auto's own failure rate is also large To improve, we should do a good job in the inspection of automobiles, focusing on checking the oil and electricity lines of automobiles, and finding that the aging of the lines should be promptly repaired to prevent spontaneous combustion.

7, anti-lubrication bad summer temperature is high, automotive lubricants vulnerable to heat thinning, making its deterioration of the oxidation resistance, perishable, and even cause damage to the burning tile shaft and other faults. Therefore, the quantity of oil and the condition of oil should be checked frequently and replaced in a timely manner. It is also best not to mix different types of lubricants.

8, the correct use of air conditioning in summer temperatures rise, the importance of air conditioning suddenly appeared, in the use of air conditioning must pay attention to the following matters, otherwise it is easy to damage the air conditioning or cause unnecessary waste of electricity and electricity.

9, anti-mixture gas is too thick due to high temperatures, gasoline is easy to flow, but also due to the expansion of the amount of holes, so that gas flow increases, and gasoline is easy to evaporate, resulting in over-rich mixture. Therefore, small holes should be adjusted to adjust the position of the acceleration device and the throttle rocker arm, and the oil level of the float chamber should be properly reduced to reduce the oil supply.

10, pay attention to "antifreeze"

In summer, some people think that antifreeze cannot be used and can be replaced by ordinary tap water. In fact, this is not a good practice. Professionally formulated antifreeze is not only resistant to low temperatures, but also has a particularly good resistance to high temperatures. High-quality antifreeze can be “boiled” when it is near 200°C. With antifreeze in summer, owners are less likely to be plagued by "open pans". In addition, antifreeze has rust and descaling. Therefore, it is still necessary to use the original antifreeze in the summer, which can play the role of “heat-stroke cooling”.

11. Cleverly use air-conditioning to enter the compartment and open the window for ventilation. At the same time, open the outer circulation and wait until the heat in the vehicle is exhausted before you turn on the air conditioner. This cooling effect is faster and better. When the vehicle speed is lower than 25km/h, the air conditioner should be placed in a lower gear to prevent insufficient power generation and cold air. When driving on a rainy day, the window glass will fog easily and affect the sight. At this time, as long as the wind direction is adjusted to the direction of the windshield and the compressor is turned on, the purpose of effective defogging can be achieved within a few seconds.

Third, how to reduce the cost of keeping a car Many people say that it is difficult to buy a car. After the car has expired, entering a 4S shop, at least a few hundred more than a thousand. This is indeed a big burden for most ordinary car owners. How can we save the cost of keeping a car and reduce the cost of keeping a car?

1. Scientific and reasonable maintenance of the car car maintenance cycle refers to the interval or time of car maintenance. High maintenance frequency is not a bad thing and can more effectively protect the performance of the vehicle. The initial use of the car is mainly normal maintenance, and the cost is relatively low; when the vehicle is used for a certain period of time or after a certain mileage, it will enter the maintenance period, and the cost is relatively higher. Scientifically determining the interval between various types of maintenance operations not only enables the car to maintain a good technical condition, but also enables you to save on maintenance and repair costs. However, when deciding on the automobile maintenance cycle, the maintenance cycle recommended by the automobile manufacturer should be consulted, and the maintenance cycle should be adjusted appropriately in accordance with the automobile's own technical conditions and actual conditions of use. For some fixed-point maintenance dealers recommended repair cycle you have to carefully consider, after all, dealers are also making money. A new car with a good general condition of the automobile may be appropriately prolonged. If the condition of the car is poor or the conditions of use are poor, the maintenance cycle should be appropriately shortened.

2, replace their own simple parts Air filter and wiper are essential accessories for the car, the air filter is the first pass through the air to enter the engine, its role is to filter out the air in the dust and impurities, Keeping the air flowing into the engine is cleaner, and the wipers enhance the safety of the owners in the rainy season.

General automobile air filters should be changed once when the car is traveling 20,000 kilometers, and inspections should be carried out at 10,000 kilometers. The wipers need to be replaced every six months to one year. It can be said that the air filter and the wiper are the cheapest parts in the car. The inspection and replacement of the two are very simple. It is not worthwhile to waste time and money on a repair site.

3. Reasonable purchase of insurance Many vehicle owners often purchase “over-insurance” and “insufficient insurance” when they purchase auto insurance. Excess insurance, that is, the insurance limit is higher than the actual value of the insurance object. For example, if a car worth 120,000 yuan is purchased, a stolen amount of 300,000 yuan is insured. If a total loss occurs, the compensation will only be 120,000 yuan. . Article 39, paragraph 2 of the Insurance Law stipulates that the amount of insurance shall not exceed the value of insurance. If it exceeds the value of insurance, it will be invalid if the amount exceeds the insured value. That is to say, the insured can only receive corresponding compensation when the subject-matter insured is lost. Insurance gets benefits that exceed the value of the subject-matter insured. In addition, under-insurance coverage is that the insurance coverage is less than the actual value of the subject-matter insured. This situation will be “prorated”, as in the previous example. If the insurance coverage this year is 50,000 yuan, which is 70,000 yuan less than the actual value, At the time of total loss, only 50,000 yuan will be paid.

4, to replace your filter should always pay attention to cleaning the car's filter. Do not underestimate it, it will directly affect your fuel consumption and other situations. During the use of the internal combustion engine of an automobile, dust and other impurities will be continuously mixed into the oil. At the same time, the oxidation of the oil and the exhaust gas will cause the oil to gradually produce gum or sludge. This not only accelerates the wear of the components, but also easily causes oil. Road blocked. So regularly clean the car's filter. At present, most car engines use a spin-on oil filter. This filter is a non-removable disposable filter. When replacing the oil, the oil filter must be replaced at the same time. Otherwise, the oil will be affected. quality. The cycle of oil and oil filter replacement is generally 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. The filter has inlet and outlet port arrow marks. Do not install the filter when replacing.

5, tire inflation should be properly corrected tire pressure is the most important part of the safety inspection. Too low tire pressure will lead to abnormal wear or tire internal damage tire pressure is too high will make tires and rims more vulnerable to uneven road impact deformation and even lead to puncture. The tire pressure must be checked regularly. Except for the spare tire, other tires should be checked at least two weeks. The tire pressure must be checked under the condition that the tire is cooled. Otherwise, the tire temperature will increase due to the high temperature. . How to determine if the tire is in a cool state? It is very simple, as long as you stop driving for more than one hour, do not cool the tires quickly and violently. Cold tire pressure must meet the standards set by the tire manufacturing company for different vehicles, different tires, and different uses. Finally, don't forget to check often to see if the spare tire pressure is normal.

6, imported tires are not necessarily the best choice for the car in the driving, in fact, to the four tires. However, when buying imported tires of various brands, some people will inevitably go into the mistakes of buying. Many consumers are more willing to choose imported tires because of psychological factors. In fact, the new tires introduced by foreign countries do not say too much for domestic users, and they are not necessarily applicable. Tires suitable for foreign road conditions may not perform well in China.

7 Changing the antifreeze once every two years is enough when the weather turns cold. Once the cold air comes, the sudden drop in temperature will probably affect the normal operation of the car cooling system. At this time, tap water in the tank should be promptly replaced with antifreeze. If your car has been using antifreeze, you do not need to replace it immediately. Antifreeze replacement cycle is two years, the general antifreeze replacement cycle is 2 years to 3 years or travel 30,000 kilometers to 40,000 kilometers. Some antifreeze liquids will deposit a small amount of flocculation after storage for one year. This phenomenon is mostly caused by the precipitation of additives, and it is not necessary to throw them away. If a large number of particles precipitate, it indicates that the antifreeze has deteriorated and can no longer be used. It should be reminded that don't forget to clean the engine before replacing antifreeze.
