Well, OK, you pay a lot for your vehicle. They feel comfortable with it and relax a little and put up some control tasks for later.
Well, you look better watch out!
Being part of car owners most common errors are now controls for liquids and skip the service between the engines for some time.
You must check is always at least the fluid levels on your car. If you do not miss you mai a minor defect, for example, a leak of coolant.
If you do not realize that leaks when you finally have enough coolant in your vehicle, its major damage leading to the engine and eventually decrease the overall performance of your vehicle.
Protect your investment by the engine of your vehicle regularly.
To keep the engine is in good condition, which must be imposed:
- Lubrication of the engine: This can be achieved over time oil service.
- The prevention of overheating: Done with periodic assessments and cooling radiator
- Proper and regular maintenance of engines and development
- Immediately remove minor defects Engine

Review condition engine.

You hear a noise when the engine is running?.
The engine should also run and you should not listen to loud noises, hitting, ping, or whistling, while the engine is at idle or during acceleration.
When you press the accelerator, the engine must accelerate quickly, without delays or loud noises.
The idle should be stable at a standstill. No smoke was coming from the exhaust pipe.
A good engine should be dry. The leaks on an engine, the more damage can have your engine.
During engine maintenance routine and developed, cleanings, adjustments, and replacement necessary, check the following:
- Fuel filter: the loss of engine performance based, if dirty.
- Air filter in conjunction with the loss of engine power, fuel economy increases and so on
- Candles: Must be replaced in order to increase engine performance.
- Timing belt, if it is damaged, she moved to serious problems for the engine
- Coolant receive: as a substitute for protection against corrosion.

Check oil pressure.
———————–
Always check the oil pressure on a cold engine. Start the engine and watch the warning lamp oil pressure gauge or oil pressure on the scoreboard.
The time between starting the engine and the time should note on the dashboard oil pressure does not exceed one to two seconds. If this time is more than two seconds, this means that the oil filter is bad, or reflect the engine.
If the light oil pressure continues while the engine is idling and there is certainly a problem with the engine. Stop your vehicle immediately if the lamp oil pressure is quite road to avoid further damage to the engine.

Check engine oil level and condition.
—————————————–
This is very critical. Without oil the engine running in a matter of seconds damage.
If the engine is leaking oil, try new gaskets or seals to fix the leak.
When the engine burns oil, valve guides and seals are probably exhausted, but the rings and cylinders may need to be replaced, too.
Check the engine oil on the dipstick at regular intervals, especially if your car is not new.
Change oil and oil filter every 3,000 miles. Examine immediately after the implementation of an oil change and filter, oil leaks for the oil filter was installed correctly.
Although Check the oil level, oil would normally be the FULL “met” on the test strip.
Do not add oil unless the level below “ADD” or “low” marks on the dipstick.
Never add fuel to the “FULL” mark to reach in order to avoid damaging the candle.
If you regularly check your oil, you’re familiar with the share of consumption of oil in your car and you know, given that consumption is growing faster.
Also check the condition of oil. Here’s how:
The oil should appear clean and translucent. When the oil is light brown, that’s OK.
However, if dark brown, but still transparent, but it is still permitted, it would be better to change it. If it is too dark, it is change at the time.
When the engine oil on the color of the gauge “Latte” or if it fluffy), then the coolant mixing with oil, ie detection of an internal engine failure (eg a joint blown head or block crack.
In addition, oil has never been a smell of gasoline. This means it is leaking a little fuel and can be dangerous.

Check level of coolant leak.
———————————-
Check the antifreeze (coolant) level and examine the system leak check at regular intervals.
Never open the radiator of a car that is simply false. Wait at least 15-20 minutes after the engine was turned off for the engine temperature to drop before adding liquid into the system. The cooling system of a car is under high pressure and the liquid is usually hotter than boiling water.
Begin to check the cooling system from the front of the radiator and if more space between the engine and radiator heating air conditioning, it does not become clogged with dirt, like leaves or pollen heavy . One of the most common causes of overheating are debris accumulation in this area.
Make sure the electric fan, operates and has good water pump drive belt tension. The water pump should not infiltration coolant.
Check the radiator for any and all traces of water pipes checked for leaks. If you are leaking coolant, you try to stop as soon as possible to avoid overheating the engine and have a mechanic inspect the damaged area immediately.
Then put the expansion tank after cooling, it is transparent, usually white, so you can see the fluid level without opening it.
The expansion tank has two levels have marks on the page: “full” and “low”. Check level of coolant in the expansion tank. The coolant should be between “low” and “Full” in the expansion tank coolant. If it is lower, you must add it as a small coolant, engine overheating and thus lead can cause engine damage.
If the engine temperature is reduced (in 15-20 minutes after the engine was off), simply add a coolant into the expansion tank until its level on the “FULL” mark.
If the level often falls below “LOW” after adding fluid, you probably have a leak and must be examined as soon as possible. If no coolant in the expansion tank at all, you must add the coolant directly into the radiator.
If the color of the coolant is brown or rust, the car needs a radiator flush. The coolant should not be oil. If you see oil in the radiator or expansion tank, it can be broken to witness by an internal motor, like a blown head gasket.
Antifreeze is poisonous, so you’re safe collection and recycling of liquid drained. Keep it out of your skin and out of sight. May He also painted surfaces, so avoid the payment on your car.

Automatic Transmission Fluid Check up
————————————–
Automatic transmission is a complex machine and repair is expensive. Most automatic transmissions should be checked with the engine running and warmed up. Also, make sure the vehicle is warmed up on a flat surface and completely.
If you are unsure how to check automatic transmission fluid, here is a step-by-step explanation:
Start by making the engine in neutral, the parking brake engaged and your foot on the brake.
Move the selector lever through each gear. This will ensure that the liquid flows through the pump have an accurate reading.
Once you’ve done that, put the vehicle in park, but leave the brake engaged and the engine running.
The dipstick transmission is located at the rear of the engine. Pull the dipstick transmission, wipe with a cloth, and note the markings on the end of the stick. The usual brands, “FULL” and “ADD 1 qt. Inset the dipstick and remove completely new to reading.
If the engine is cooled, it should be at the upper end of the brand of “cold”.
When the engine is hot, the level should be at the upper end is the “hot” mark.
If the transmission is hot, if the level is in the security zone between the hash marks. If it is lower, you should add a degree of automatic transmission fluid.
Check the liquid also: If it is too dark, and a burning smell – the transmission break!
Normally, it should be clear and transparent. Its color varies from red to brown. Wipe the dipstick with a clean, white paper and look in the newspaper. Normally, there should be no black deposit, no metal particles, dirt on the paper.
How to add oil gearbox:
Not liquid, unless under the “ADD” mark and never bring it on “FULL” mark. Be sure to check the type of transmission fluid in the user guide and use the correct gear oil for your vehicle. Replace anything else. For example, some Chrysler Chrysler Transmission only certain types of liquids and fluids, as usual, Dexron II in May to destroy the transmission.
Add a small amount of liquid at a time. You need a special funnel for the liquid in the tube is out of the test strips obtained.
Wait a few minutes until the liquid flows downwards. Start the engine and check the level before you even more fluid.
