How to prevent the engine temperature is too high in summer

Hot summer temperatures, the hot sun road car to withstand the ordeal, the engine temperature is too high is summer cars need to pay special attention to matters, prevent the engine temperature is too high to pay attention to the following four bogey.

A bogey: boil immediately when opening the lid, add water
Radiator in the inland waters after boiling, internal pressure to a certain extent, if at this point immediately open the radiator filler, from hot water can, causing burns. The right thing to do is to find the tank water boiled, immediately opened the hood to increase air flow, when the water temperature drop is no longer a boil, then use a wet towel to do hand pad, radiator water cover unscrewed a first block and release of water vapor, a moment is opened entirely. To avoid water mouth above will face at the same time, to prevent scalding hot water overflowing face.

Second, avoid: boil after flameout immediately
Some drivers found after boiling, thought is immediately shut down. Want to know: Engine why boil is due to high temperature of inner water jacket is jacketed tank, wall, cylinder head temperature too high. At this time if the flameout, parts are in expansion in the state, with the gap is very small, after the shutdown will result in some soft metal off, and some will even cause sticking cylinder. So that after boiling, don't immediately turn off, should remain idle.

Three bogey: when the engine temperature is too high, pour cold water poured engine
Car launch forget to add cooling water temperature has been found to be too high, so he to the engine block, cylinder head and poured cold water to cool. Little do they know the consequences are serious, may cause the engine block because the quenching burst, causing irreparable consequences. Engine temperature will overshoot bad head gasket, burn Bush, machinery accidents; temperature is too high, causing the intake air drops, power is reduced; the tank boil, boiling coolant evaporation overflow; Launch X431 CResetter II or Launch Creader VII tool test showed that the engine will meet the various components gap decreases, increased wear and reduce engine life.

Four bogey: bogey water tire cooling when the temperature is too high
When the tire temperature is high, are due to the installation is not accurate, the speed is too fast and other reasons, but also the hot natural climate caused by. If in tire temperature is high throw cold water is bound to cause fetal internal structure due to sudden changes, resulting in the deformation matrix inside each ply between a, cause early damage to the tire, even the cord stripping. In addition, should also pay attention to the tire pressure and temperature, otherwise easy to explode accident. Once burst, light affects the speed; that will have a serious accident. During the rest of the journey, check the tire temperature and pressure in time. If it is found that the tire temperature, tire pressure is too high, can not take deflation and pour cold water on the way, should choose the shade, parking, the tire temperature, pressure drop of natural; such as wading, should be tire temperature decreasing after wading to prevent tire early damage.

Hot summer temperatures, in order to prevent the engine temperature is too high, it should pay attention to the following points: 1 plus sufficient cooling water; 2. Autel MaxiSys Mini MS905 or Autel MaxiDas DS708 tool to check the thermostat is normal. 3. driving in the instructions and pay attention to water temperature readings, requires no more than 95 ℃. 4. In exceptional circumstances, in order to strengthen the cooling air convection, can lift the hood to facilitate ventilation.

How to effectively prevent the car paint to be oxidized

All the parts on the car can buy the original factory, only the paint does not have replaceability. According to experts, due to oxidation, the new car will gradually darken paint, it will result in serious paint cracking or even fall off. Through OBD Diagnostic Tool testing showed that: absolute coating products can be a long time to maintain the original color, completely blocked pollutants.

Paint can not avoid the threat of oxidation and weathering, the impact of car paint oxidation once caused it is difficult to easily remove. Polishing, polishing method for removing the oxide layer, the paint will cause a lot of wear and tear. Therefore, conservation of new cars from the start, the regular use of Launch X431 GDS or Launch X431 CResetter II tools to detect. To prevent paint oxidation, weathering, it must be isolated from the outside environment --- paint to prevent oxidation, barrier evaporate. Absolutely coating products are the most effective means to protect the paint against erosion, can long maintain the original paint color. Coating absolute advantage is reflected in the following four points:

First, Absolute coating can be performed at the same time in the beauty of the function of protection, completely blocked against the asphalt, acid rain, gum, pollen and other pollutants, prevent paint oxidation.

Secondly, the absolute coating can paint the mirror effect, delicate texture, bright shine on people.

Third, the paint coating products absolutely no secondary damage, curing just do surface protection film purification treatment, no secondary damage to the paintwork.

Finally, Absolute coating of the warranty period of 2 years or more.

Automotive transmission belt regularly checked guide

The car drive belt is responsible for all parts of the movement, if it bad the car can not move. Because the engine is driven by a belt drive all kinds of auxiliary mechanism, such as an air conditioner compressor, power steering pump, alternator, etc., if the belt is broken, or there has been slippage, will be related to the loss of the auxiliary mechanism, or its performance decline, thereby affecting the normal use of the car. Therefore, it is necessary to check the drive belt regularly using Auto Diagnostic Tool.

Belt inspection method is very simple. First, check the belt tension, select the longest unsupported belt span intermediate applying moderate pressure with your thumb, if the reduction is about 10 mm in the belt, that the belt tension is just right. If the belt tension is too large, or too loose, it could result in slippery tooth, transmission is incomplete. And adjust the belt too tight, so that the belt is easy to tensile deformation, but also accelerate the pulley and bearing wear. For this reason, it should be related to the adjusting nut or bolt loosen the belt tension adjustment to the best, if you are not sure the best, you can use the Launch X431 V+ Pro3 or Launch X431 CResetter II tool check the belt the best condition.

In addition, in daily inspection should pay special attention to the wear of the belt. Because if the belt wear is serious, it will cause the belt and the belt pulley contact area to drop sharply. At this time, as long as a pressure belt, the belt is deep down to the groove of the belt pulley.

Also, if you find the belt surface cracks and spalling cracks appear phenomena such as sound or belt slipping occurs, indicating the belt may be broken and must be replaced immediately. If not promptly replaced, the belt once in a moving way break, the vehicle will not be normal driving.

In actual use, check and replace the automobile belts are very complex, generally professionals using the Autoboss V30 SPX or Autel Maxidiag Elite MD702 tool operation. Moreover, because the price of the belt is not particularly expensive, often change in time before the arrival of the service life of the belt is a common choice.

What are the effects of fuel additives

Market authorities released test report notes that only qualified additives can reduce fuel consumption, as well as increased power, maintenance engine, remove carbon deposits and other effects. In addition, The analysis of Auto Diagnostic Tool monitoring data shows that, after using the correct fuel additives, in the automobile exhaust hydrocarbon fell by 26.6%, a 19.7% drop in carbon monoxide.

Select the high quality additive, not only can serve to reduce fuel consumption, as well as maintenance of the engine, remove carbon, environmental protection and other effects. More importantly, it is the engine maintenance measures, can prolong the engine's service life. And the use of inferior additives. Black smoke from the rear of the car.

Additives by cleaning the carburetor or fuel injectors dredge, improve fuel flow to reduce fuel waste; and wherein the accelerant for a class of fuel additives are directly involved in the physical and chemical reactions in the cylinder in the engine can be effectively improved engine efficiency. So the fuel additives can still play a role fuel-efficient.

Fuel additives for gasoline and diesel fuel into two additives. Gasoline additive main component is an organic compound with cleaning, dispersion, emulsion, antioxidant, anti-corrosion, anti rust, lubrication, combustion, cleaning function. Not volatile, non-flammable, does not form secondary pollutants, storage safe.

Additives contained in the purification, has been adhered to in other parts of the heating surface grease, gum and carbon deposits in the combustion chamber of the role of pine, making it easy to be in the air in "clear", and after combustion exhaust. Activated molecules such additives added to the oil dispersant that would allow rapid diffusion of small molecules directly attack the oil molecules in the long chain carbon bond, causing complete combustion, improved engine power, fuel consumption is reduced. You can use the Launch X431 Creader VII+ or Launch X431 CResetter II tool to check the engine operating status.

Fuel additive also has many effects, such as:
First, remove carbon deposits, clean the fuel system
Second, enhance the performance of engine power
Third, to improve atomization, save fuel
Fourth, corrosion, rust, lubrication, protection engine
Fifth, reduce noise and wear and extend engine life
Sixth, the elimination of black smoke and reduce emissions

When you purchase fuel additives, to fully understand the composition and effectiveness of additives, buy some products with well-known and well preserve consumer certificate and service bills. Some products contain graphite, Teflon resin particles, fluoride, etc., likely to cause precipitation inside the engine, affect vehicle performance, try not to buy products containing these ingredients. You can regularly used Autel MaxiSys Pro MS908P or Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 tools to detect the vehicle performance.

Choose automobile ABS brake fluid matters needing attention

ABS is the installation of the modern car regular device, its function is becoming more and more attention. Because of the ABS system is more complicated than conventional braking system, you can use the Auto Diagnostic Tool to check the ABS system routine performance, therefore when choosing, replacement and supplement the brake fluid should pay special attention to:

The brake fluid correct selection:
1, in the ABS system, there is more rubber seals and rubber hoses, this requires the owner in the use of the brake fluid can't have strong swelling effects on rubber seals.

2, in the ABS system, there are more and more sophisticated metal parts and therefore requires the choice of brake fluid has good corrosion resistance, so as to avoid metal parts from corrosion.

3, in the ABS system, there is a longer, more complicated pipeline, therefore, requires the choice of brake fluid has a high boiling point, in order to avoid the brake fluid vaporize that braking system to produce air resistance, you can use Launch X431 CResetter II or Launch X431 Diagun III tool to check the brake system is working properly.

4, in the ABS system, the brake fluid through repeated pressure increase and decrease the circulation, therefore, the work of the brake fluid temperature and pressure is higher than conventional braking system of brake fluid, which requires the brake fluid has better oxidation resistance, in order to avoid brake fluid in formation colloid, sediment and corrosive substances.

5, the ABS system, brake fluid pathway is longer and more tortuous, resulting in brake fluid in flow process by the greater resistance; in addition, in the ABS system, moving parts more, more sophisticated, these moving parts of lubrication requirements higher. Therefore, ABS system, the choice of brake fluid must possess proper viscosity.

According to the above characteristics, ABS systems generally use brake fluid DOT4, Although DOT5 brake fluid has a higher boiling point, but because DOT5 is a silicon brake fluid, will strong damage to the rubber parts. Therefore, In the ABS system, generally do not use the brake fluid DOT5.

However, due to DOT3 and DOT4 brake fluid is alcohol-based, with strong moisture absorption, with the use of extension of time in which the water content will increase. When the brake fluid contains more moisture, will make dynamic pressure regulation means precision parts corrosion occurs, in cold weather conditions, but also the viscosity of the brake fluid increases, affecting the flow of the brake fluid in the brake system, the brake becomes slow, resulting in system moving distance is extended.

In addition, the brake fluid in the water will have a very significant impact on the boiling point of the brake fluid, gas resistance. DOT3 and DOT4 brake fluid usually after 12 months of use after which the moisture content of 2%, after after 18 months of use, where the moisture content of up to 3%, you can use the Autel Maxidiag Elite MD703 or Autel MaxiDiag FR704 tool to check the brake fluid water content, therefore, suggest you every 12 months to replace a brake fluid.
