Cars in life are already a extremely It is a common means of transportation. For people with decent financial conditions, buying a car is no longer difficult. Maybe many years ago, if anyone had a car, it was indeed the envy of the whole village.
However, in recent years, as the per capita income is getting higher and higher, my country’s economic development is getting better and better, and now more and more people are buying cars. After the car household entry rate is high, Nowadays, cars have become the most common means of transportation.
Since everyone is buying a car, how to maintain a car has become a big problem now!
We always use The heart is a vivid metaphor for the engine of a car Whether the heart is healthy or not is related to a person’s physical state. Then the heart of the car: the quality of the engine is naturally related to the use function and driving performance of the car!
There are many reasons that affect the engine, among which Carbon deposits It is a common influencing factor that is ignored by most of us.
Remind car owners: No matter whether the car is expensive or not, these four maintenance items are not necessary, so don’t be “fooled” again.
1. Air conditioning cleaning
Air conditioning is an important device to adjust the temperature inside the car. Nowadays, almost every car has an on-board air conditioner. In summer, when the temperature inside the car is high, the owner will turn on the air conditioner to cool down. In winter, when the temperature inside the car is too low, the owner will turn on the air conditioner to keep warm.
However, in the process of using the air conditioner, dust will also adhere to the air outlet of the air conditioner and the filter screen of the air conditioner, breeding bacteria. If it is not cleaned, it will also affect the air quality in the car, which is detrimental to people’s health. The car air conditioner should really be cleaned, but there is no need to go to the 4 S shop to clean it up. Spray a little detergent on the air outlet of the air conditioner yourself, then turn on the air conditioner and blow it for a while.
2. Gasoline filter
The gasoline filter is a disposable non-removable and washable paper filter element installed on the engine. Its function is to filter the gasoline from the fuel tank to the engine combustion chamber. The gasoline filter needs maintenance, but it doesn’t need to be maintained too frequently. Generally, it can be maintained once every 30,000 kilometers.
Many female drivers don’t know the structure of cars or what these filters do. When you go for maintenance, you will be what others say. If others say that these must be maintained, they will believe it.
3. Oil circuit cleaning
Oil circuit cleaning is mainly aimed at cleaning carbon deposits caused by incomplete combustion of gasoline during vehicle use.
It is recommended that if it is an imported model with high requirements for oil quality, it is recommended to clean the intake port every 20,000 kilometers and completely clean the oil circuit every 40,000-60,000 kilometers, mainly including the fuel injector, intake port, and three-way catalysis.
If you are a domestic model, as long as your engine fault light is not on due to oil circuit problems, you basically don’t need to clean it.
For oil circuit cleaning, please refer to the suggestions in the maintenance manual, because frequent oil circuit cleaning will cause very serious damage to the car, especially the three-way catalytic converter.
Generally, as long as we don’t use fake and inferior engine oil, we often go for high-speed running 。
4. Leather seat maintenance
Chinese people like to choose high-end models when buying cars, and the seats and door interior panels of high-end models are basically made of leather. Things made of leather need maintenance, just like the leather sofa at home, which needs to be taken care of with maintenance agents.
However, although the car seat is said to be made of leather, it actually has composite components. It is not as expensive as the leather seat at home. Just go to the car wash at ordinary times and ask the car washer to help take care of it. There is no need to maintain the seat specifically.
Money to be spent wisely! Make these habits well in car maintenance to save worry and money
1. Brake pads
The brake pads on the car are the most important part of the automobile braking system. The quality of the brake pads is directly related to our life safety. After the car has driven for 60,000 kilometers, the brake pads will basically be worn out. If they are not replaced, it will probably cause a series of dangers in the future use process. So when the time comes, this must be replaced 。
2. Half axle ball cage
In fact, the half shaft is also called the drive shaft. Its main function is to transmit torque between the gearbox reducer and the drive wheel. Its inner and outer ends have a universal joint, also known as the ball cage sleeve. Then, the spline on the universal joint is connected with the reducer gear and the inner ring of the hub bearing respectively.
Generally, the universal joint (ball cage sleeve) is often the most likely vehicle damage. According to all the fault maintenance reports, most of them are because they usually like to start with manual transmission at high speed, or ejection start, and overload, which leads to the damage of the ball cage. The consequences were naturally unimaginable.
Therefore, the majority of car owners should check whether the connections of various parts of the half shaft are loose and deformed, and whether there is oil leakage or crack in the dust jacket of the ball cage during daily maintenance. If so, deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be delayed later, which will easily lead to sand and dust entering the inside of the ball cage and making it wear faster.
3. Clean carbon deposits on the three-way catalytic converter
Many people only pay attention to the engine when cleaning carbon deposits. In fact, in the car, it is also very important to clean carbon deposits with a hole. This small hole is Three-way catalytic converter.
Many people have this question, Why do carbon deposits affect the three-way catalytic converter?
Because there are too many carbon deposits accumulated inside the engine, part of them will be discharged by the three-way catalytic converter, but the newly formed carbon deposits are very viscous.
When passing through the three-way catalytic converter, It’s not 100% passed , which means Carbon deposits will be directly absorbed on the filter holes of the three-way catalytic converter.
What are the effects of not cleaning up carbon deposits in time?
1. Cars are becoming less and less powerful. It’s getting more and more laborious to drive, Especially when climbing a hill, it is especially prone to unexpected situations, which will affect safe driving.
2、 Carbon deposits will increase car fuel consumption, Obviously, this is directly related to the consumption of car owners, which will undoubtedly increase the financial burden of car owners. In a sense, it is not cost-effective for car owners. From this aspect, it is also a kind of ‘discount’ for yourself to take more care of cars.
3、 It becomes difficult to start a car when it starts cold , which is also the most unbearable thing for car owners. If a car can’t start all the time, it’s better to change a bicycle.
4. Engine combustion chamber Carbon deposits Serious cases can also cause Cylinder knock causing damage to piston and crankshaft , thus seriously affecting the safety of automobiles, and the emissions of automobiles will also exceed the standard, which not only fails the annual inspection, but also directly aggravates the harm of environmental pollution.
It can be seen how much carbon deposits affect cars, so once carbon deposits are found in cars, they must be dealt with in time.
If these signals appear in the car, it implies that there is too much carbon deposition
1、 It is difficult to start the car
When carbon deposits adhere to the intake and exhaust valves, it will cause the intake valves to fail to close normally, and in severe cases, air will leak, which will cause the pressure in the engine cylinder to drop, resulting in difficulty in engine activation, jitter under idle conditions, and damage to the piston and crankshaft. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it may also seriously affect the safety of the vehicle.
2、 Significant increase in fuel consumption
The same car is driving in the same city. If there are no problems with other parts of the car, the fuel consumption suddenly increases. It may not be the quality of the car, but the carbon deposits in the engine that should be cleaned up.
The bigger the accelerator is stepped on, the greater the fuel output from the fuel injector, and the fuel consumption will be significantly improved.
If you don’t clean it up in time and use this method all the time, the fuel consumption will only get higher and higher. If you find an obvious abnormality in fuel consumption while driving, you must check it in time.
3. The exhaust smell becomes bigger
After gasoline is burned, gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide will be produced. After the reduction and oxidation of the three-way catalytic converter, the automobile exhaust will be effectively treated and the odor will be reduced. However, if there is too much carbon deposit, the three-way catalyst will not be able to treat it up to standard, and the emitted gas will have an unpleasant smell.
4、 Jitter will occur when driving on the road
Generally speaking, if the three-cylinder engine drives for a long time, the vibration will be more serious, but most of them are four-cylinder models. If these models vibrate more during driving, it means that the spark plug is faulty and the power is unbalanced, so the vibration will naturally occur.
If the above situations occur in our vehicle, it can be judged that the carbon deposit in the engine is serious and needs to be cleaned in time.
Can carbon deposits be removed by adding fuel treasure?
Many car owners have been recommended Fuel Treasure when they go to the gas station to refuel, so after listening to the bragging of the salesperson, most people will be tempted, but in fact, Fuel Treasure can’t clean up carbon deposits at all.
The main function of the so-called fuel treasure is to increase the “octane number” in gasoline. Because many people want to reduce the fuel consumption of cars and solve the carbon deposit problem, they will use this kind of thing. Some car owners feel that the power of the car has improved after using the fuel treasure.
This is because Fuel Treasure has increased the octane number of gasoline, such as changing No.92 gasoline into gasoline similar to No.95 gasoline, so the power of the car will be slightly improved.
However, these improvements are short-lived, and now many places take advantage of car owners’ ignorance of this aspect to sell inferior or miscellaneous fuel treasures to car owners. After such fuel treasures are used, they may increase the breeding of impurities, leading to more serious carbon deposits, and the engine may be damaged.
