Sections AC condenser on a very important role in cooling the room. Inside condenser Freon cooling process occurs, so that the room will feel cold when the cooling was removed through the blower. But, what would happen if the condenser itself is in a state of heat? Because the “fry” the sun, for example. Surely the process works a little disturbed. At a minimum, it will take longer to cool the room.

Well, assumptions such as what prompted Mario Hartato perform a simple solution when hot due to the cabin car parked in the sun. To cool the cabin, Mario not only opened the window wide open to heat the air temperature inside the cabin get out and change (circulated) by the new air. In order to cool down faster, he also poured water into the air conditioning condenser. “The duration of approximately 1-2 minutes,” said mario. According to him, with the addition of the above, working in a cool room air conditioner could be more perfect.

But, “This condition is only for cars that are very hot sun drying,” he said. Although this way better and can assist the work of cooling, AstraWorld give a small note. We poured water into the condenser in the middle of the engine is running, should still be careful to prevent water flush not affected the other parts. For example, water on the fan is rotating so that the water on electrical wires.

Prudence is only to prevent side effects if the parts exposed to water. Effect of water spray on the performance of AC in the above manner is actually very similar to what happened after AC cleaning. Just look at AC’s house. Each time the air conditioner in-house service, cleaning must be done by pouring water condenser pressure. Sprays will be eroded dust or dirt on the condenser grille. With a clean condenser conditions, automatic performance in the cool room would work better. So, to help the performance of car air conditioner, you can perform a similar manner. For example, when washing a vehicle, you might as well spray pressurized water to the condenser grille. But do not forget. Water spray is what we do when the engine died.

Maybe you just travel a lot with the car carrying the children of the holidays. If you have time, there was nothing wrong with the vehicle so check back in a fit condition.

Concentrate checks, in addition to doing well on the machine components under the body such as the tie-rod, suspension, and brakes

Moreover, during the trip, the wheels (especially front) could hit the holes, bad roads, or beat a hard object. If it this way, the legs of risky taxable impact. To ensure normal conditions, try to feel the steering wheel vibrate at high speed racing.

Or the wheel when removed from the hands of our run to the left or right. That means the legs need spooring car, in the form of re-adjustment on the steering angles, such as camber, caster, and toe.

But before spooring and balancing (wheel), first check the condition of the feet such as tie rods, tie rods long, and other parts. Because, if there is any damage, even when in-spooring results are not perfect.

After the legs, moved into the engine. Find the potential leakage of oil or water from the radiator. Make sure all the engine dry of oil and radiator water seepage.

After the long walk, usually evaporate quickly and dilute the oil when the engine in very hot conditions. Notice the bottom of the cylinder heads and engine blocks. When you find seepage, quickly replace the gasket.

Then check the radiator, ranging from hoses, lattice, and the reservoir tube. If no leaks, check your battery water and make sure the water volume is at maximum level.

Furthermore, the V-belt, make sure the conditions. If the slack will be squeaky sound when the accelerator is pressed. Do not forget to also clean the air filters with a compressor wear sprayed from the inside out. Lastly, clean the injector with the injector cleaner.

You want to buy a second car but confused in choosing the right car? Perhaps these nine tips can help you.

Here are tips on buying a second car:

1. Before buying a car, try to see how your driving habits, your needs. Cars purchased must meet your needs.
2. Check your wallet, make sure your pocket enough to pay vehicle taxes, and insurance (if any) your car. Prepare wallet also if your car needs more care after your first purchase.
3. Learn car models, the prices through advertisements in local newspapers.
4. If you intend to buy a used car with a loan, calculate what the price of the car once before, and what the price of the car from the lender. Counting was also expenditure will you spend each month, the term of the loan, and interest on the loan. Make sure you understand the loan contract before signing the credit.
5. Check the condition of the car thoroughly. Check if there is a rusty that may arise on the body or engine, or marks on body collisions.
6. Do a test drive of the car that you will buy, on a different road terrain conditions.
7. If you need to rent mechanics to test the used car you seek. Browsing through the internet can also be an option.
8. Ask for maintenance records to a used-car garage. Check into the first owner of the car if the car is held by the second. Also check the odometer, many car dealers who deliberately reduce the mileage recorded on the odometer.
9. Also check all the documentation and warranty if the car is still there.

Nobody road no jammed in big cities. When being driving, faces such conditions, certainly very tormented because no air Conditioning (AC).

Until AC not functioned can because negligence owners performs maintenance. Can also age disposable component or height frequency usage. More heaved anymore, Owner car much layman about AC. So when problematic happen, they generally don’t understand how to over come it.

Below few sign happens on AC car

Less cold
Trigger come from compressor. Magnets clutch already deterioration or bobbin magnet exist severed. Consequently, employment compressor drain freon hampered.

Other causes, exist leaks at evaporator caused freon wasted. Suggestion Chandra, must replace new if welded only resistant briefly.

Odour dreadful
Cause, condition interiors dirty consequence habits passengers bring food. Aroma pigswill could glue in seats, trim door or carpet. smoking habits participate has a share donate aroma not tasty.

Beep strange when switched
Origin sound usually from compressor problematic. Still according Chandra, bearing within compressor already deterioration or rupture make employment compressor be eliminated. To several brands car, position component exists in drawer dashboard. If drawer full with book or objects lightweight then sucked, directly raises sound.

Freon frequently less
Condition because exist leaks at hose or evaporator, so freon wasted. “Generally freon reduced after usage above 2 years,” firmly Chandra. Fare for drain and contents freon between Rp100-Rp200 thousand. Better, do checking and clean compressor every 2000-5000 kms.

Trends in the use of automatic transmissions in cars increases. Operation even easier than the manual, without the clutch. Nevertheless, it does not mean man can not make mistakes. And, the behavior of one can make the lifetime becomes shorter.
Described by Ricardo matic, automatic transmission specialist, that the damage due to improper operation of the transmission of only 10 percent, 85 percent of the largest oil change just due to negligence, while 5 percent due to the age of consumption.
There are minor omissions, negligence, although not fatal, the initial damage to the transmission. Like what is negligence?
• Do not move the lever to N. As long stop in a traffic jam or a red light, sometimes the driver continues hold transmission rod in position D. This condition makes the transmission of extra work due to work as a limited supply of fresh air. If the stop of more than 60 seconds, immediately move the transmission into N so that lubricants do not increase dramatically.

• step on the gas into the D. When lining up at the beacon lights, so the sign is green, drivers often move the stick directly to D and direct the gas pedal. In fact, the transmission takes time to engage with the process fluid pressure to move toward the torque converter. If this habit is often done selenoid valve inside the transmission can be easily damaged.

• Often do engine brake. To obtain the effect of engine brake, may be used in low gear. However, the displacement was made during the 3000 rpm engine speed. Because, if on top of that, there could be hard to reduce friction and wear life of the clutch friction within trasmision.

• Move the position of D to R. Move the gear lever from D to R (to parking) needs to speed his hand. However, if done roughly, the conventional transmission could result in damage to the planetary gear and one way clutch. While outside of the transmission components that are affected like the dc coupling cross joint, engine mounting and the axle (front wheel drive).

• Prevent the transmission in first gear. Needs engine brake on the streets down steep or acceleration performance on the road climbs, would need gear first. But, this condition should be done only as necessary and unavoidable when dealing with normal road conditions (flat). Because, increasingly heavy burden clutch. Moreover, if continued into high gear on a conventional automatic transmissions still use valves. Can make performance parts per akuator behind the piston can be problematic due to excessive pressure.

Today, roads leading to the creep of solid attractions. So, a few roads outside the city experienced a line density of vehicles long enough. For car drivers, in the face of that line, the indicator may be a sudden the engine temperature rises pointer alias approached writing “H”. Meanwhile, the car did not have a needle indicator. Notified by the heat engine image “pole with three stripes on the top and underneath as there is water” glowing red.

If it were so, do not force the car because it can cause path broken machine. Well, for that, follow the steps below.

1. Pull the car immediately and directly off the engine.
2. Open the hood and turn the ignition key to position “ON”. Note, if the electric fan rotates normally or weakening.
3. If the electric fan was not working, check fuses, thermo switch, and relays. If constraints are not a fan electrical systems found, then the step is to disconnect the socket EMERGENCY electric fan and connect it directly to pole position (+) and negative (-) battery cables.  Note the direction of fan rotation to match the cable under normal conditions. If the fan does not spin, it means that the electric motor is damaged.
4. Note the leakage that may occur in the machine. If you use radiator coolant, leak detection becomes easier because the young colored liquid is seen.
5. Another possibility of leakage occurs in water pump, radiator hoses, radiator, and hoses stuck.
6. If there are leaks, EMERGENCY step is to remove the radiator cap. Remember, do not jump. Do it slowly until the pressure decreases. If already open, then add water, uncovered, then the engine starter. Indirectly aimed at installing the radiator cap so that the pressure on the system is not too high. Next, take it to the nearest garage.

To get a convenient vehicle and comfortable drive, car should always be treated continuously. Like humans, machines also require maintenance and regular checks to be addressed if any part is damaged or needs repairs. General check up on the car should be done every two or three months, both for the car that had not been used or after a long journey. Some general vehicle inspection steps:

1. Exterior and Interior
   Clean the exterior and interior vehicle from dirt, because if it sticked too long, the dirt would harden and lead paint on the car look dull and flawed. While on the interior, which is not immediately cleaned dirt would cause odor.
2. Tire
   Do not forget to check tire condition and pressure of the wind flower.
3. Water
   Always check the condition of battery water, water radiator, wiper and washer water. Add if the amount is below the minimum threshold.
4. Oil
   Also check the volume and quality of oil on the engine, gearbox, axle, power steering, brake and clutch.
5. Engine
   If the engine power was reduced or even have voices that arise on the part of the engine, it just means you have to start checking the condition of the vehicle engine to the workshop.
6. Drive components
   Check also various drive components, such as couplings, gears, coupling, axle, axles, wheel bearings, including the wheels. Make sure the driving component is moving normally.
7. Lights
   Make sure all vehicle lights from the headlights, taillights and brake lights, lights up perfectly.

Some people who love to take care of their car take shortcuts in order to keep the car looks shiny using drugs. Indeed, the result will quickly appear directly. But over time the drug can damage the paint of car itself. Therefore, in addition to drug the car use polishes, to maintain and care for the paint and keep it shiny is also very important. Here are some things can be done:

1 pay attention of the weather
Try to park your car in parking building, in order to avoid from sun light or rain. Excessive sunlight possibly damage your car’s paint. That also with rain doesn’t let the rain water left behind on your car’s body, there will cause prickly fungi. You are suggested to avoid your car has a direct contact with for, it will cause rust to your car. If there is no garage in your home you are also suggested to have car bag or tarp.

2. be careful in washing your car
Avoid the use of detergent, chemical content of detergent will affect fading paint of your car. Its better to use soap or shampoo. When wash your car don’t let the suds clung too long in your car. You better to sprightly clean the suds afterward. The ideal way in washing your car, wait until your car in normal condition, let it cool and find a perfect place to wash. Then begin to wipe the glass and roof of the car.

3. You Can Avoid Damaging Fluids
As much as possible the use of avoid spillage of the liquid paint from a car which could damage, such as brake fluid, fluids and other lubricants. When exposed to remove and clean up spills immediately.

4. Coarse Particle-Particle Eliminate the Fitted on Cars
When painting a car or do annihilation to paint the car look smaller particles which usually are often still attached to the car. Remember, a single particle can cause car paint scratched. Eliminate fine dust in the car; duster should be used as a cleaning tool that can prevent blisters on the paint surface.

Damage to a car engine classified in three parts, ranging from mild, moderate, to severe. Now, for the heavy damage, there are four main causes (for the non-turbo engine). But if you care enough, know the features and functions of the vital components, as well as maintain and care for her, surely the damage can be prevented. Therefore, preventive action is required.

This vital damage and preventifnya step.

“Overheat”
For modern machines are equipped with computers, when the operating temperature exceeds the limit of work, then the computer will automatically switch off to protect the engine by gradually. For example, the computer will stop working AC compressor, goes into safe mode (safe mode), until the moment the engine stopped completely.

However, machines of the 1990s era has not equipped computers. Overheat symptoms can be detected by the appearance of symptoms during accelerated knocking.

* Step preventive
Check the cooling system and the amount of engine oil regularly. Note the time the engine temperature indicator comes knocking, and soon tepikan car.

Oil leaks
Decreasing the amount of engine oil will cause a drastic friction on moving parts. The impact, high engine temperature (overheat) and exceptional wear. The cause is damage to the drain cover bolts oil hit by hard objects, or conditions of sil-sil in the engine not good. There should also be mandatory for oil indicator on the dash that lights up when the lack of lubricant.

* Step preventive
Check the oil regularly. Do not underestimate the burning oil indicator. That suggests that the oil pump to lose pressure.

“Water hammer“
Water is sucked into the engine due to hit the high water. Water is far denser than air, to meet the engine, would not be pressure while running in the compression step. In the closed valve condition, water pressure will destroy the weakest component in the engine, the piston.

* Step preventive
Know the height of the air inlet on the engine. Never started when the engine died in the floods. Open spark plugs, and then start the engine to remove water in the engine.

“Timing belt”
Function as a crutch as aligning rotation and valves so that they do not collide. However, when the fatal belt connecting the two mechanisms is broken suddenly. Damage is inevitable because the piston will strike the valve is in open position.

If it happens in high-rev engine, the engine block can be broken. This condition can be minimized if you know the damage that occurred. Engine with low compression ratio or a turbocharger or supercharger has tended to have less chance of damage.

* Step preventive
Replace timing belt on a regular basis according to the recommendations. Accelerate the replacement of timing belt when the frequency of automobile traffic through the high street

The rainy season sometimes becomes annoying for motorists. Not just a dirty body, bulk water from the sky increases the risk of an accident. But do not worry beforehand. When coupled with solid preparation and precise driving style, driving in the rain can also stay safe. Follow these tips from the Garda Auto Racing Team below.

Before driving

Make sure the wiper condition.
Rubber wipers can become stiff and bumpy because not replaced the old. The condition was caused strokes in a glass becomes imperfect and even interfere with vision. If it were so, immediately replace with new rubber car specifications.

Fill your glass washer water
Before driving, make sure the water washer wiper is fully charged. Mix with a special liquid glass washer to help remove fat in the glass. Make sure the driving motor is also active and can be sprayed water into the glass.

Note the condition of the tires
When the rain, the tires will work flow of water to remove the side so that no symptoms of a car floating in the water aquaplaning or. Therefore, make sure the flowers are still good tires, has a thickness of at least 50% of the new. Wind pressure and gentlemen, do not exceed the recommended standards can make less traction.

Check for leaks
In particular car owners over the age of 10 years, occasionally try to wash your car in an automatic washing machine. That way you can see whether there is a leak in the gap and car body glass. If yes, immediately fix so you do not get soaked when it rains heavily.

Cooling System
Make sure the cooling system (air conditioning) work normally. Because, until the work is not going to interfere with the view from the glass fogged.

Check your insurance policy
Make sure your vehicle has been protected by a guarantee damage (insurance) due to flooding. Because, some of us do not know whether the vehicle has been protected by the expansion of flood insurance or not.

While driving
Vigilance must be improved with the rain. In addition to reduced visibility, the road is also far more slippery than usual. Not to mention, the eye becomes tired. Here are some tips to minimize the risk of accidents when it rains.

Add a safe distance
If normally a dry time we have to keep a distance of 2 seconds into the front car, while rain increased to 3 seconds. How to calculate, use 1001 … 1001 … 1003 as normal, when the car reached the front of a sign on the road, such as electricity poles. If before it reaches the ‘1003 ‘your car is up to the mark, meaning too close and had to adjust the distance again. This safe distance is very important, because when wet braking distances become much longer even though the car was even equipped with ABS.

Avoid sudden manoeuvres
Sudden manoeuvres include acceleration, braking and turning, should be avoided. On slippery roads, it is easy to manoeuvre the car out of control. Control the car is more subtle than usual.

Turn on the lights, not Hazard
Turning on the hazard when the rain is a big mistake. Hazard made the driver’s eyes in the back we quickly tired because blinking light. In addition, Hazard makes us unable to activate the lights when going to move seine lines, also resulted in sensitivity to the driver behind the brake lights on our cars to be reduced. Risk was hit from behind even bigger. When very heavy rain, light fog lights or headlights normal. This alone is enough.

Avoid the right lane on the freeway
Since the contour slightly convex highway, then driving in the right lane to make you hit a puddle vulnerable. This can make a car lost control. In addition, when in the right lane, you are easily exposed to splashes of water from the point across, and it will greatly interfere with the visibility.

Be careful tire lock
If we are forced to brake suddenly and the car was equipped with ABS, watch out for symptoms of tire lock. Once the tire was locked, reduce slightly until the wheel brakes stamping turning back. When the tire lock, the car can not be controlled with the steering and braking distances and longer.

Do not break floods
When we drove in the rain and met with a puddle of water or better to avoid flooding and to find a safe place.
