If we want to use the car to drive far enough for example go to hometown then car should be in a prime condition. The car must be prepared away day or at least a few days before travelling, it is intended in order to refine the time still available when repairs not previously satiate then improvements could be reworked in the workshop.
In General, there are three important components on the car that requires special attention, when the third component is the prima of our journey will certainly be fun. These three components, namely:
1. Machine Components and accessories such as channels and pumps fuel, carburetor, as well as the engine itself
2. Wheels including tires, brakes, transmission and differential
3. Electrical Components consisting of lighting, charging the battery, the system start the engine until the fan belt
For engine parts we can ask the workshop so that the engine in tune up, tune up consists of a wide variety of jobs, among others, as follows:
1. Car Cooling System
Examination of the cooling system of the car can be started by looking at the high water level in the tank. When the weeklong water reserves reduced only 30-50%, this indicates no leak cooling system.
Evaporation through the reserve tank making the water decreases, but if every two days once we have to add water then need further investigation because there is a possibility of endless water caused by leakage the pipes marked with dribbling water while parking.
2. Close the radiator
A lot of people who are less savvy about the function of the radiator cover, this part are often considered just close it. At the close the radiator valves per there is for removing water vapor through the hose and then cooled in a reserve tank. With the workings of this water vapor can get back into the water after the car stops and then the cold water in the tank, and the backup will be sucked back into the radiator and the engine room.
To know that the radiator cap is still good or not then do further testing. When a cold engine, remove the radiator cap. In the middle there is a round ring radiator cap diameter of about 2 cm. In this part try stretched Pack and note whether his rubber is still intact and not broken his per. If this part goes wrong then so should replace radiator Cap with a new one.
In addition to checking the radiator Cap water quality also need to be aware of. If the water's been yellow water should be replaced with a new one. On a car that is less well preserved water quality could be oily, especially on the part of the radiator CAP as it is fat. For this event, we need to be more thoroughly and bring the car to the workshop.
To connect the radiator with engine used a rubber hose. This elastic rubber hose that causes it can bloom in the Middle due to the heat and pressure of the water. If slang is already expanding by up to 30%, immediately replace the hose to avoid the outbreak of new slang when travelling. Outbreak of slang in the middle of the trip will certainly be troublesome and delayed the trip.
3. Air Filter
The work also includes examination of the tune up the entire filter. A clean air filter can save fuel and engines to be comfortable. The oil and oil filter must also be replaced if the time has come to be replaced.
4. Examination of the engine thoroughly.
This inspection includes the Platinum plugs and performed by the technicians to ensure the performance of the machine. When this phase is over and it turns out that the result has not been satisfactory the possibility there are other causes. Spark plug cord which broke up the inside or close the cracked spark plugs can also cause limping car engine.
Whereas in the old car that already drove more than 150,000 km, could be its already weak. These symptoms can be seen from his extravagant use of oil, marked by the addition of oil is about 1 liter per 1000 km. When this happens, it is better to departure for long distance travel be postponed.
5. Wheels and accessories.
The part that is no less important to be examined are the wheels and accessories. First of all that needs to be checked is the condition of tires, tires are already bare is very dangerous to our journey. Especially on high-speed braking system also will not work perfectly, and often fatal accidents because the front tire burst.
Another thing that is important is the amount of tire pressure. Many drivers have a bad habit, tire pressure already within the guidelines of a tire plant derived precisely on the grounds that the car is tenderer. The opinion that says when the tire pressure remains high when in use then the ban will be hot wind and the volume will increase so as to make the tires being easily broken is the wrong view.
Thus the tires with pressure not suffice it that will lead to more tire surface, easily breakable and important were quickly depleted eroded path. Tires that are run at high speed on a paved road that is heat coupled with heat due to bending moment is what usually causes the tire to burst.
6. Braking system
There are two types of damage to the brakes that is bogged down and leaking. If leaking brake oil reservoir the indications are depleted or reduced brake oil seepage along followed by the ban. When the brake stuck can be known by stopping cars on a particular slope, could also be characterized by the condition of the tires rims are too hot.
When the car didn't want to skate or excessive heat means the tires rims are a harbinger of a braking system to a standstill. Don't delay repair brakes because this section is very important for the sake of safety and immediately fix in the workshop.
7. Electrical System
The part that is not less important is the electrical system, be sure that all the lights are lighting up the good work to prepare the backup fuse anyway. Horn also need attention may have already replaced the time not to travel amid the honking aggregated.
Electrical cars could not be separated from the power supply to the dynamo of the interests of the car including the recharge batteries after use to start. In cool booster there are two Dynamos. This section could be depleted after a distance of 80,000-100,000 km. When the charging current battery runs out into stalled and the lamp indicator CHG (charge) on the dash will light up. Do not forget to release the battery, clean the head of that section with hot water, Pat dry with a rag and tighten again.
Matters relating to the Dynamo are the fan belt. When fan belt disconnects then dynamo did not spin, thereby the engine heat, the water pump is not working and charging power to the battery will stop. Therefore inspection of the Drawstring fan is very important. When it is on the inside of the fan belt already looks cracked and the outer side of the hairy head to replace with new ones.
Sometimes due to busyness or other reasons most vehicle owners buy spare parts in any place or submit completely to the repair shop to buy spare parts. We buy spare parts could have been labeled authentic or Genuine but after using it a few months recently proven if it turns out that good imitation.
