Service and general maintenance for cars

In order for the condition of the car remains the Prime engine servicing every 20,000 KM is generally done for treatment. If a car's engine too long not serviced the machine usually feels less tasty and underpowered when ridden. Regular services usually are often called engine adjustment, anything that needs to be done to take care of the car on a regular basis are as follows:

1. The work of the clean up and reset certain parts such as the petrol filter. Petrol filters need to be cleaned of impurities so that the machine is not a trembling voice. After that remove the petrol filter, then blow and beats repeatedly until clean.

2. Air Filter also needs to be cleaned because of a dirty air filter will affect the magnitude of the air required for the combustion of gasoline. More importantly, keep the air filter from dust and do screw regulator resetting your mix on Carburetors.

3. Close the distributor also need to be cleaned, clean the distributor Cap section at the point of the divisor to the spark plug-plugs that experienced erosion. If there are parts that are cracked, replace it by a new distributor Cap.

4. Check the condition of the spark plug if it still works properly or is damaged. Faulty spark plugs will cause the machine can not work normally so that the machine be limping.

5. Platinum is a very important element in the ignition system. Platinum that changes its slot distances become smaller due to liming will make ignition becomes earlier. And vice versa if its slot the ignition would make too big too fast. Crack Platinum is 45 mm.

6. Also note the setting selector octane, if there are errors this would make the ignition timing is not right. To create the proper ignition, note on the octane voters there are three lines. Just turn up on the center line, loosen the bolts fastening the distributor and then start the engine. Twisting distributor, note the flight timing which indicates the degree of ignition in accordance with the crank shaft pulley.

How to care for a Starter Car Life easily

To turn on the car there is one component that plays an important role, namely the motor starter. This component serves to rotate the engine to life. One end associated with the head of the battery positive (+) and the other end associated with the flywheel.

The task of the starter motor is generating power to rotate the crankshaft or it could be said that the starter motor is used to convert electrical energy into a round, i.e. turning the flywheel via the starter motor pinion gear. While the electrical energy that flows from the battery to the starter motor was greatly aided by the solenoid switch that is set by the ignition key.

For the latest exodus cars generally use a light engine so that any starter motor tasks is not too heavy so be durable as a starter motor age so long because only a few times in a day is used to turn on the machine.

However given the primary task of the motor starter is deciding whether a vehicle's engine to life by converting electricity into energy, surely this component also has the limitations of age and could be damaged.

In order for the motor starter durable noteworthy IE never tried turning the key contacts again when the machine alive or already live. When the car engine is already living the flywheel spins to move the crankshaft. At a time when spinning it, then there may be a starter pinion gear goes back into the teeth of the flywheel. This is often done when then starter pinion gears can cause will be destroyed.

Motor starter used over and over again can cause wear and tear on some of the components contained in the starter motor. These components include:

1. Cool booster (often called charcoal), when worn immediately replaced

2. Starter motor Parts made of copper and ends in contact directly with the flywheel, if worn out replaced immediately

3. The starter pinion Gear, at the moment of ignition is connected, which is equipped like this clutch will forward to drive a flywheel. These teeth can also be gradually damaged especially if frequent contacts when turning the key car engine being live

4. Switch the starter located at the head of the motor starter. Given the electric current flowing into the motor through the switch it so great then the existing copper in it can also be worn out

5. Lead connector between the rotor and the booster cool melt due to the heat too high. This can be caused by a weak battery, while turning the key business contacts remained forced continuously so that eventually will cause a high heat on cool booster with rotor

In the event of damage to the starter motor components, to improve it could do on its own because it is not too complicated. To release the motor starter, beginning with removing the negative cable from the battery. This is done to prevent the occurrence of short circuit while we work.

After that unplug the cable from the starter motor is preceded by releasing the cables on the terminal 30 contained in the head of the motor starter, then release the connecting cable to the terminal 50 of the starter motor head. Be careful when releasing this because the cable could break up. Once the cables are successfully released and loosen the fastening bolts and then the starter motor is issued.

For some types of vehicles, it is sometimes a little difficult to let go of the starter motor because it hindered by the exhaust manifold. This could be addressed by opening the bottom cover of the engine first and then wiring the motor starter is released. Thus the release and also the installation back motor must be carried out from under the vehicle using the key sock.

When the installation is complete, return the motor starter check again whether the starter motor can function well with how to turn on the machine. Make sure the engine spinning when the contact key rotated to start position. Beside that, on a rotating machine at the time and also at the moment of ignition disconnected from motor starter note is there any abnormal sound coming out of the motor starter.

How to use an automatic transmission on a Car

It is said that he was in Indonesia, the users transmitting automatic cars most simply using the lever "D" or "Drive", both for the road uphill, downhill path or the path horizontally or straight. There are actually several options with the benefit of a lever or different uses that can also be used as follows :

1. Lever "P" or "Park" when used Park the vehicle and used with the parking brake.


2. Lever "R" or "Reserve" used to postpone the vehicle and should only be used when the vehicle is actually in a State of stops with the engine turned on.


3. Lever "N" or "Neutral" which has the same function as neutral on manual transmission.


4. The levers "3" serves to move the gears automatically only on three teeth first. Use this position for travel within the city or streets winding. Selection lever is at several brands of cars.


5. "2" Lever serves to move the gears automatically only on two teeth first. Use this position when driving a vehicle in the mountainous region which usually uphill. When the vehicle through the streets or riding uphill, it takes the engine power lever on optimal and this position will serve as the engine brake while descending down the streets.


6. The lever "L" or "LOW" function the same as the lever position "2", but just being in gear teeth "1". This lever is used when you really need a large torque, for example when passing a steep incline. In some cars the lever was given the code "1".


In addition, feel free to use the facilities "OVER DRIVE" that can be used when the lever is in position "D" and the button O/D are in stick gears. This facility can improve fuel efficiency and also ride comfort at a time of high speed.


Don't forget to step on the brake pedal when switching on the engine of the car. Make sure the lever in the position "P" or "N". Some cars will not want to be switched on his machine when the lever is not in the position "P" or "N". Do not use the "N" in position when passing the street dropping; hold any position "2" or "L"/"1". Use the position "P" at the time of the vehicle completely stops or parking.

How to prepare your car for Mudik

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.
