Some of the key parts of the car are where car owners should always pay attention.
When car owners usually maintain their cars, they pay special attention to the car's surfaces and interiors. After all, they are places they often see. However, some key parts of cars need to be changed once or not often replaced. These parts that are not usually noticed will be ignored. In fact, these parts are places that car owners should pay attention to.
Check brake fluid level regularly
What happens: If the brake fluid is insufficient to allow air to enter, the brake becomes insensitive. Therefore, it is advisable to regularly check the height of the brake fluid on a monthly basis, and pay attention to whether there is a significant drop in the fluid level of the brake fluid and whether the quality deteriorates. If so, it should be added or replaced in a timely manner.
Solution: The brake fluid storage tank is made of translucent resin. If the tank is dirty, it can be wiped with a cloth and a simple visual inspection can be performed. The brake fluid should reach the base line of the storage tank. If the brake fluid is greatly reduced from the previous inspection, there is a high probability of failure and leakage may occur. At the same time, the manual transmission is equipped with a clutch, which also requires attention to its fluid volume. If the fluid volume is reduced and air enters, it cannot be effectively braked.
Check brake fluid every ten thousand kilometers
Appearance: Brake shoes and brake discs have a service life and must be replaced when they are worn to a certain degree. Generally speaking, in city driving, the service life of the brake disc is about 50,000 kilometers, and the life of the brake shoe is about 30,000 kilometers. However, the specific situation depends on the operation of the owner.
Solution: The brake shoe is best checked every 10,000 kilometers. The brake fluid is generally replaced every 50,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is driven in a humid area for a long period of time, the oil change cycle should be appropriately shortened.
Abnormal situation carefully check
Appearance: When the vehicle is dragging the bottom, it is very likely to run into the brake fluid pipe; when the brake is applied, the car will obviously go to the left or right; the brake pedal will be stepped to the end, but the braking effect is not obvious, and the brake pedal will be pressed continuously. The pedal effect has not improved.
Solution: After stepping on the bottom of the vehicle, step on a few feet to brake. Get off the vehicle and check if there is any deformation or leakage of the tubing. The car's deviation is due to the non-synchronous front brake, and it is easy to accidentally grab the left and cause accidents. When the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, it is necessary to immediately perform brake adjustment at the repair shop. The weak braking effect may be due to the presence of gas in the brake system, which needs to be repaired in a professional repair station; For problems such as being too long, we must also pay attention to the maintenance point for inspection.
In addition, after long-distance driving, the brake system should be carefully checked to check the brake pipe for bumps, damage, and leakage, because the splashed stones hit the brake fluid pipe of the chassis at high speed. It can cause brake fluid to leak or brake to malfunction. If the brake fluid tube is flattened, it will cause the brake failure of a single wheel.
