Which parts of the car should be examined carefully?

Why the preferred lamp for the maintenance object? Because the summer and turn, driving the biggest problem is the fog, and this year nationwide precipitation, air humidity is big, so the fog weather will be more frequent. Fog lamp irradiation distance and brightness to have more stringent requirements, so we have to carefully check the brightness of the lights, if it is found that the lamp aging, brightness is not enough, we should be promptly replaced the upgrade, to their own car to put on a pair of bright eyes "". In the light of the selection of consumer needs to notice, the quality is directly related to the safety of night driving, so the best choice for OEM car brand, for example, OSRAM, Philips etc..

Autumn is most felt in addition to the temperature outside is the light changes. Increasingly short, the night long, and morning and evening this dark time more early, duration from school to work and rush hour traffic, road lamps were not open, so this time is the darkest time for road. Relevant experts OSRAM lamp also remind everybody, autumn evening and early morning to early on, in order to avoid the danger caused by insufficient light.

In summer due to high temperatures, is enough to prevent temperature too high a vehicle tire pressure is generally not sufficient. In the fall, as the temperature drops, it is necessary to add the tire pressure, tire pressure is insufficient to prevent. At the same time, also should check the tire whether there are scratches, because the rubber in severe temperature changes is easy to harden and become more brittle, so tire leak, or even burst. For tire in addition to check the appearance of any damage, but also to check the tires and even some of the details on the wheel hub, such as air door, because here the cracks will appear slow puncture the tires.

The summer of vehicles in the heavy rain splashed, makes a lot of sediment air conditioning condenser by, in the course of time will make the condenser corroded, and constantly rainwater will also have adverse effects on the warm air pipe and fan. Therefore, after entering the fall should be the first time for the air conditioning to do a thorough maintenance. In addition, in this season, we should pay special attention to cream outlet wind is normal except under the windshield, the heating effect is normal. Because the autumn day and night temperature changes, the morning drive, will always glaucous generation window, if the equipment defrosting unfavorable will give driving will bring unnecessary danger.

Check the plug part of ignition system, to see whether the rust. Once a rusty, you use the professional cleaning agent. Check the engine room engine oil, brake fluid and antifreeze, see oil is sufficient, whether the metamorphism, whether to change cycle. The problem is found must be replaced, in order to ensure the smooth oil circulation. Check the vehicle braking effect is not weak, there is no deviation when braking, the brake pedal pedaling force is changing, the best line carefully the whole braking system. Check the battery external wiring, if found to have green rust, application of hot water to clean, to avoid the battery power supply shortage. And more, you can find car tools like launch creader and mb star which may help you do good.

We should how to use the car properly when we meet heavily rain

We must first understand their own car will appear short engine wading or line under what circumstances the problem. First find the engine inlet and measure its height, under normal circumstances, wading in running engine water inlet accident, mostly to the. Secondly, find a can be directly observed markers, used as the vehicle can safely through the depth of the reference wading area. The chassis is higher (GAP) can also make your vehicle has better fording ability.

Such as the water depth of more than 2/3 wheels are more than the safe range, may influent the car. Water more than the front bumper or close to the net before the position, it will directly lead to engine inlet, damaged vehicles. If the vehicle is put out in the deep water, the exhaust pipe of water intrusion into the engine could be seriously damaged vehicles.

If the vehicle stalled due to wading result, no matter how shallow the water is not re-start the engine, so to avoid more serious engine damage occurs. Should car as soon as possible or let the other car pulled out puddles. Measure the height of the exhaust pipe, in fact, as long as the vehicle traveling at a slow, even if the exhaust pipe is not submerged in water influent from here, because a lot of gas from the exhaust pipe is much higher discharge pressure the pressure (in the case of water is not very deep), which also prevents water intrusion engines.

In through the water surface, many owners think high speed can be blunt past, the results of their own on that, due to the high speed through the formation of water wall in front, so that the water accumulation, not intake cause stalling. And the formation of the wave will make the car or the oncoming car is also facing the same risk, this is a very make one's hair stand on end behavior not only to their own vehicles damaged, but also to the next to truly understand how the owners brought loss.

The correct method is, to ensure that the vehicle at low speeds, and at any time according to the water depth, manual transmission models should try to use the 1 block, stabilize the throttle smoothly through, automatic should also try to hang into the low gear or snow mode force, torque and increases the vehicle to prevent tire slippage, avoid strenuous running action and halfway flameout. After the water should be continuous braking several times, rapid evaporation of moisture to ensure the brake disc, brake performance of vehicle.

Now the vehicle is composed of a large number of electronic equipment from the pool, non professional off-road vehicle, rarely on the electronic equipment on board waterproofing corresponding, even many of our familiar city SUV, electronic basic and common car identical line the car, no water treatment. After Wade, related electronic module engine easy to short circuit, vehicle control computer as the car's brain is generally located in the engine compartment, the majority of dustproof processing simple. When the rain soaked, vehicle central computer and on the body line is very easy to appear short circuit, and the module is a light but there is a problem, a malfunction, or vehicle damage, even by a short circuit caused the fire.

Cars make our life more and more convenient, and a car code scanner can help you detect and correct faulty/corrupted car codes. Hot like Launch X431 and mb star help a lot for your car.

How to repair the car that flooded by water?

The vehicle park only mild water, causing the vehicle floor wet, we generally is the first car seat removed, remove the car floor, will chair and floor rain soaked components inside the vehicle to get sun exposure, and carefully check the computer board is not water, to clean the car. Vehicle repair such generally need a week, if do not need to change parts, repair costs are only a few hundred yuan.
http://pic3.xihuan.me/edr/680__/t0132744bc3f7b3fd10.jpg
But for light vehicle inlet, many owners think that the vehicle is in a little water, as long as the door opened drying can own. In so doing, often leads to failure is more serious, "because of the car seat and the water on the floor is difficult to dry, when the vehicle is in the sun, high temperature can make the car like a steamer, the amount of moisture through the electronic components inside the car floor, erosion, corrosion caused by electronic components. This is also a lot of the car in the water after a short time by using no fault, but two or three months later, they continued to fail for some unknown reason."

Vehicle engine damage, mostly occurred in the water when driving, because the water is too deep, vehicles in the forced through, resulting in engine water, leading to block damage.Therefore, in the driving process, if you see in front of the road area of water and I can not conclude that the water depth, don't try to force through. If no other route choice, only from the front through the words, the owner should be hung in the lowest car blocking, gently step on the gas, slowly through the road.

In general, 'flooded car' only by professional repair or to repair the normal running. The key lies in the automobile is soaked in water for a long time, the extent of damage of vehicles. When the car was soaked in water, such as in the parking lot was blisters, even out, actually the biggest loss is not computer integrated block engine but the car. These computer integrated block because the soaking is oxidized, a lot of time to repair and replace, otherwise the car is not normal operation. But because a lot of electronic components is one-time cannot open, repair on the surface looks very good, but in fact there may be trouble appeared in the later period of use, it is the existence of these problems, made some "flooded car" in the repair, there may be some fault.

In the heavy rain the weather, the best way is to nip in the bud, to avoid flooding the tragedy. When the owners of parking choice as far as possible stops in the higher ground, not to park the vehicle in the indentation section or some drainage facilities not good underground parking lot. If the owner of the car park in the parking lot or garage, was flooded or flooding, don't start ignition, if an ignition starting, will cause the electrical part of the extended losses.

Here also recommend the useful and hot car diagnostic tool like:

Lexia 3 PP2000 is a car diagnostics for Peugeot and Citroen; it is packed with one main host and two version software, PP2000 for Peugeot and Lexia 3 for Citroen. Before installation Lexia 3 PP2000, you have to close all of the anti-virus software, to prevent the data for the device is destroyed by the anti-virus software.

Check the line in time to prevent spontaneous combustion of the car

Always check the maintenance of electrical circuit. A motor vehicle with automatic control performance is high, electrical lines all over the body, arranged in a crisscross pattern is very complicated, connecting many electrical components, through high temperature baking to vibrations and the engine for a long time, persistent, electrical lines appear likely hardening crack, open circuit, short circuit or bad contact phenomenon, resulting in electrical circuit grounding, due to leakage "the fire" or heat storage and combustion.

You can find some hot car tools like obd2 scanner for more.
Always check the oil (gas) pipeline maintenance. Fuel oil (gas) in case of oil (gas) pipeline leakage fault, and air mixture explosion concentration limit, in the fire it may cause fire or explosion, the dangers of fire after the vehicle electrical circuit fault. Therefore, the owner should be in electrical maintenance vehicle with the oil (gas) pipeline maintenance. In addition, when driving the motor vehicle if the smell in the fuel oil (gas) strong taste, motor vehicle has undergone a fuel oil (gas) leak fault, the situation is very dangerous, should not continue to run, or is likely to cause spontaneous combustion of motor vehicle. At this time should immediately turn off the engine, the car park by the roadside, notify the auto repair shop to repair.

Do not overload long-distance driving. Every vehicle has its rated dwt, car drivers should strictly abide by the rules, especially not overload driving, otherwise it will cause engine temperature, causing oil, circuit spontaneous combustion, or cause excessive tire temperature, tire increased pressure to accelerate tire wear, and even lead to spontaneous combustion tire puncture. If long-term severe overloading, but also greatly shorten the life of the vehicle.

It is strictly prohibited to refit vehicle. Now some young people in order to highlight the personality, to refit vehicle according to his own will, to the car to install some electrical equipment, changed the original circuit design, increase the electricity load, thus give the car planted a "time bomb", is likely to trigger spontaneous combustion, causing owners should be especially alert.

Do not place the dangerous goods. Summer high temperature conditions especially not the gas lighter, air fresheners, mousse and filled with plastic or metal pressure tank flammable gas placed on the vehicle driving on the table. Because it is easy to produce high temperature due to sun exposure, "flammable liquefied gas pressure vessel" within the expansion, thus causing an explosion combustion. Can't get gasoline, alcohol, paint and fireworks and other dangerous items are placed in the car, because once the leakage or traffic accidents are likely to cause explosion combustion.

Should be equipped with vehicle fire extinguisher. In order to nip in the bud, the vehicle should be equipped with at least 1 larger fire extinguisher fire extinguishers, because small volume is difficult to put out the fire. There are fire extinguishers in the following three types of comparison for configuration in motor vehicles: multifunctional fire extinguisher, foam fire extinguisher, dry powder fire extinguisher. Each fire extinguisher has its shelf life and specific operation method, the user should strictly abide by the product maintenance and use, fire extinguishers should be updated in a timely manner to failure, so as to avoid the fire did not use. In addition, the car the best preparation of a basin or bucket, can timely access to water conditions, the best water fire extinguishing effect.

Read automotive fault code should pay attention to the following points

Clear fault codes correctly
Automobile troubleshooting, need to clear the fault code. For fault code clear, should be strictly in accordance with the provisions of specific models of fault code cleanup method, don't simply use removed battery negative strap to erase fault code. Otherwise, may result in the following two aspects: first, the trouble of some models to control the computer lost "experience memory", we know, control computer some car with automatic memory function, remove the battery negative strap, will automatically clear the storage engine operating experience with data in memory, thereby the automobile repair after a fairly long period of time performance is not good, or running after a period, and to reproduce the fault code has been removed; second, will cause the loss of some functions, such as audio lock is one of the most common examples. At this time, you need to decrypt the audio system in more cumbersome procedures, working to restore the audio system.

Suitable temperature control
Read the code, the engine to normal operating temperature can be used only for the self diagnostic test, especially the water temperature at 85 ~ 95 ℃ when reading the code is the most reliable. Otherwise, in the reading process, sometimes a non fault codes, such as temperature, exhaust gas recirculation, idling bad fault codes. It often makes people mistakenly think that electronic control system fault self diagnosis system of many that or malfunction.

Correct reading order
The electronic control system of static code reading and dynamic code reading, should pay attention to order two code reading and the conversion process, otherwise it will cause the fault code reading failure, many models have strict procedural requirements on the two kinds of code conversion. First of all, you must first read the static code, if static code after reading, the system does not output code "11" normal fault code, go read dynamic code, can appear the fault distortion, resulting in repair of the miscarriage of justice. And it often causes a kind of illusion to repair personnel, if fault code useless like. At the same time, should pay attention to, before reading dynamic code, the general need to remove static code. In the process of dynamic code self diagnosis before, should remove the read static code when connected to the diagnostic socket on the bridge, and then clear the static fault code, then start to accelerate to 2000r/min engine and, at least 2min, so as to enable the engine to normal operating temperature, and then close the ignition switch, after waiting 10s the self the diagnosis of joint inter connected, and start the engine again, this time to display fault code is the dynamic mode of fault codes.

Note that after reading the memory correction
Through the electronic control car for read code, clear code, and troubleshooting, if the car's acceleration performance declined, sometimes a normal phenomenon, but requires maintenance personnel to the control computer ECU correct driving position memory correction. In other words, is to restore control of the computer of the car's current position memory function. As long as the vehicle in a normal car, continuously repeated start, driving, turn off, up to a certain number of times, the relative performance cars will gradually be restored.
