Rainy season car maintenance maintenance tips

After a heavy rain, the weather is often hotter and the sun is more pungent. After more rain and intense sunlight will accelerate the aging of car paint and parts, regular routine maintenance should be done, but this is just a Expedient measures, for the time being, we must have the opportunity to make real car body repairs or paint repairs to the car carefully, and eliminate these failures in the bud. The following Xiao Bian will introduce you to several kinds of summer car maintenance methods.

Timely cleaning

In the event of heavy rain, the car should be cleaned in time after returning. Otherwise, sludge may accumulate in the voids on the underside of the vehicle. This is where the moisture can be concealed, and where rust is most likely to occur.

Paint protection

The acidity of rainwater has a strong corrosive effect on the car's paint finish, and it will cause damage to the car's paint over time. Therefore, in the rainy season, it is best to give the car a paint finish. The simplest is waxing, and longer and more effective is the sealing capacity. No matter what kind of method, give the car an invisible protection coat to prevent the fading and aging of the paint, so that the bright car capacity often accompanied.

Chassis care

The chassis is the closest part to the ground and is particularly affected by the road conditions. Generally, this part is the most likely to be rusted and stained, and the wheel shell may even be loosely perforated. Therefore, we must pay attention to the car chassis clean anti-rust treatment, do a chassis rust treatment, anti-rust effect can be maintained for 3 months. After doing anti-rust care, be careful not to use alkaline cleaning solution to rinse the body and chassis. This will affect the anti-rust effect and shorten the anti-rust time.

Ignition start

In rainy days, owners often run into problems with engines that are not easy to start, and sometimes even if they are barely started up, they are weak. The greatest possible cause of this problem is the leakage due to moisture from the ignition system. In addition, it may be as soon as the rainy weather becomes cooler, and the hot air enclosed in the sub-distributor may condense into water droplets, causing a small flood inside the sub-distributor, thus losing the normal ignition function.

Once it is discovered that the ignition system is poor due to the wetness of the ignition system and engine performance is degraded, it is best to dry the inside and outside of the distribution board and the wires with a dry paper towel or dry cloth, and then spray the desiccant with a special desiccant spray can. At the distributor cover, battery connector, spark plug, high-voltage line and ignition coil, wait for a while to start the engine.

Brake water removal

The vast majority of car brake systems are dual-line vacuum assisted hydraulic brakes. It is worth noting that the brake fluid that transmits the braking force has extremely strong water absorption. If water enters the brake fluid, the heat generated by the friction will vaporize the water during braking. The gas is compressible and it is compressed in the brake fluid, causing brake failure or even failure.

When there is a lot of rain, the humidity of the air will increase. If the brake fluid has a small amount of moisture before the rainy season comes, it will be very dangerous. In some vehicles where brake fluid absorbs water, droplets of water can be seen on the lid of the brake fluid cup. Therefore, the brake fluid must be checked during maintenance to ensure the safety of the occupants.
