Car maintenance planning is the key for the first five years
dropped sharply, and many people bought new cars at this time. In the first 5 years of the car, what should a new car owner pay attention to and what parts should be replaced? Here simply:
1, 2 years: during the warranty period, the car is in the peak period of the first two years, and basically there will be no problem.
2 or 3 years: replace brake pad and fuel pump. Those who love on a lot of oil, and then in the key when it slammed on the brakes and the brake pads wear, certainly more powerful, life is short.
3, 4 years: when the car runs up, it may be found that it is not as smooth as a new car. If this is the case, it is time to check the shock absorber of the car. If the damper spring is no longer flexible, when high speed travel will shake badly in the rain is especially dangerous.
4, 5 years: in general family car situation, pay attention to whether the timing belt should be replaced. If the vehicle is not replaced in time, the vehicle will suddenly break when it runs halfway, and the maintenance cost will be higher.
5 years later: many people are changing their cars at this time. After all, after 5 years, there will be more problems. I am not an expert. It is not easy to explain these problems here. If you own a car for more than 5 years and want to know more about maintenance, you may ask the person in person.
how to maintain the first five years, here a simple sum up here:
1, 2 years: during the warranty period, the car is in the first two years is the peak period, basically there will be no problem. No, it's not true. At least in two years, most cars need to be replaced. Golf uses a maintenance free battery, that is to say, the life of the battery begins to countdown, usually two years since the electrolyte is added to the battery. Although there is a "observation window" on the battery, as long as it is green, it can continue to use, but also look very "green" but not to greet you directly to "hold the car", but also do not worry too much, the general battery failure occurs when you stop after you stop, will not give you the middle of the road. The fault performance is that although the whole car has electricity, but can not start the engine, the starter can not turn at the moment of fire, then all the alarm lights on the dashboard flash! Don't be too scared, it is caused by the current instability, they are not bad. You have no other way to use the battery of other vehicles to "hook" the car directly to the repair shop for a new one.
in addition, two years is also a mandatory replacement period for brake fluid. Brake fluid is a very easy to absorb moisture oil, if there is water into the oil system, the high temperature produced in the brake will be part of the water vaporization, when you step on the brake, the compression is only part of the air, and the brake disc can not accurately and effectively friction with the disc.
2 or 3 years: replace brake pad and fuel pump. Those who love on a lot of oil, and then in the key when it slammed on the brakes and the brake pads wear, certainly more powerful, life is short. The general term is "brake disc / brake pad", and brake shoes are mostly used on bicycles. Braking system is one of the most important parts of a vehicle, and it is a "safety item". If the engine breaks down, you will not be able to walk, but if there is any trouble with the brake, you will be in big trouble. It must be checked and checked regularly. Usually in use, we should pay attention to the wear condition of the four brake discs of the front and rear wheels, whether the surface is smooth or not, if there is a groove on a brake disc, immediately repair and replace, the brake disc will not be qualified, the brake disc is light "disc", that is, grinding and smooth, and the heavy also should be replaced.
3, 4 years: when the car runs up, it may be found that it is not as smooth as a new car. If this is the case, it is time to check the shock absorber of the car. If the damper spring is no longer flexible, when high speed travel will shake badly in the rain is especially dangerous. My understanding is that the shock absorber and the spring are two things. In the suspension system of a vehicle, the main support for the weight of the vehicle is the spring and the leaf spring, and the shock absorber is actually a "damping structure" that absorbs or inhibits the vibration or the impact force. It is a piston cylinder filled with oil.
it is clear that if only a spring and the shock absorber are broken, the performance of the fault is very typical, not the jitter of the high speed, but the "flicker", a slightly unequal place, the body, like a bumpy boat in the water, and a nod of a nod to the waist. If, on the other hand, the shock absorber is not bad and the spring is broken, the weight of the side of the body will fall directly on the shock absorber on that side and compress directly to the head, and the movement can be miserable, like riding on a stone.
in fact, it is very simple to check the failure of the shock absorber, and press the hand in the four corners of the body. If the rebound of the body is not more than one or two times, it is normal, if you keep up and down and look very elastic, it will be bad.
4, 5 years: in general family car situation, pay attention to whether the timing belt should be replaced. If the vehicle is not replaced in time, the vehicle will suddenly break when it runs halfway, and the maintenance cost will be higher. The main parameter to change the timing belt is mileage instead of time. It is suggested to change the mileage within a specified period.
5 years later: many people are changing their cars at this time. After all, after 5 years, there will be more problems. I am not an expert. It is not easy to explain these problems here. If you own a car for more than 5 years and want to know more about maintenance, you may ask the person in person.
