Many car owners have asked a hard pressing question: How can we ensure our cars are maintained well? In Singapore with the prevailing COE prices and high cost of repair, everyone is paying more and more attention to car maintenance. Compared with the old view of "faulty repairs," more and more car owners understand the importance of regular car maintenance. Here are some tips for sharing regarding car maintenance.
1. Mistake number 1: Opening the door and starting the car immediately.
This is a biggest mistake ! Do not start it directly！！！When the switch is opened, the vehicle will generally automate a self-test, and we will see all the instructions, etc... light up together, eventually then extinguishing one by one after the self-test is completed. After the whole process is completed, it can be started. It usually waits about 3 seconds.
2. The brake pads should be inspected regularly.
The front brake pads should be checked at 30,000 kilometers. The rear brake pads should be inspected at about 60,000 kilometers. If the brake pads are worn out quickly, replace them. Delaying the change of brake pads can have a huge impact on your safety and your passengers!!!
3. The tires should be cross-exchanged at 30,000 kilometers.
The front wheels should be changed to the rear wheels and the rear wheels should be replaced. This can extend the service life of the tires.
4. When the cold car starts, pay attention to allow the car to idle for one and a half minutes and allow the car to warm up.
(At the beginning, the engine's internal temperature does not reach the normal operating temperature - the water temperature indicator points to 90 degrees as normal. The car will have a jitter, the engine sounds loud, the tachometer is slightly higher - the normal means at 600 to 900 turns If you start under such circumstances, it is easy for the engine to deposit carbon because the engine is not fully burned at low temperatures.)
5. It is very important to go to a professional work shop for maintenance within the specified time.
Generally 5000 km is a safe period, every 10000km is the maximum, and repeating the programme every 5-10k km
6. Stopping for an extended period of half minutes after parking is not recommended .
This will deplete your battery life and also affect the performance of your overall engine
7, The fuel tank should not be empty.
Once the oil tank signal is lit up, your utmost concern would to be refuel. (Every car is an EFI engine. The pump is cooled by gasoline. Once the oil is too low, it cannot cool the pump. The oil pump can easily be damaged if it is overheated.
8. Chasis is a part of the car body that is very close to the ground. It is also a part that is easily damaged by ground objects during driving.
Therefore, the chassis must be inspected frequently to avoid excessive damage to the chassis caused by foreign objects. The car is about "seven maintenance, three-point repair", that is, cars only perform regular maintenance as required, try to find problems as soon as possible, solve problems, so that it can be achieved on behalf of the repair, less in the repair, overhaul, and even life-long repair The purpose is to achieve safe, economical, trouble-free driving and make the life of the car longer.
