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.

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.

Engine is the most important part of the car without an engine because the car certainly will not be able to walk. Generally the engine is using gasoline engines, but there are also cars that use diesel engines and diesel engines are treating tricky and here are some tips for caring diesel engines.

1. Heat the diesel engine before you run your car at least five minutes.
2. And the most important thing is do not let the fuel tank to empty. And recommended to the owners of cars with diesel engines to recharge immediately at the fuel tank contains 1/3 of its capacity.
3. Clean the air filter too often as possible because dust is one of the main enemy of a diesel engine that can accelerate wear and tear on the engine.
4. And also you should notice is that the diesel fuel filter diesel fuel filters may not have dirt because dirt can clog your fuel. And if it is damaged replace it immediately with a new

At the moment fuel problem became one of the most important concern of car owners. It is currently sold many different kinds of tools that he can save fuel your car.

But you really did not need to buy such equipment but you can save fuel consumption of your car with your own driving behavior.

This is a way to save fuel your car:

1. Drive a calm is one of the best ways to save fuel. And also should avoid driving at high speed and many use the brakes because it wastes fuel consumption of your car.
2. Push the gas pedal at a steady and gradual because if the gas suddenly so push fuel sucked into the engine will be more and more.
3. Move persenel teeth in accordance with RPM.
4. Expenses also affect the fuel consumption of your vehicle. The more weight your car the more wasteful fuel consumption also your car. So if you do not have to carry too much.
