System disorder symptoms in a car air conditioner

Because it is used continuously and for the convenience of car drivers, the AC car should be treated with care, in order to function properly. It's the best way to overcome the interference with the air conditioner is to bring the car to a professional technician car air conditioning repairs. But first we must recognize that interference can occur in car air conditioner, so when we took it to a professional technician, the results can be effective. The following are symptoms of disturbances in the car air conditioner you need to know:

Out stinky smell
Causes of car air conditioner out the stench is because bacteria, micro organisms, and fungi that accumulate on the AC grid, especially the grille found on the dashboard. To eliminate odors that bother you, the cleaning can be done by using anti-bacterial treatments. The form is fluid, which can be bought at a car accessories shop. When the mold is clean, the air discharged from the air conditioner can be revived.

The air coming out feels less cold
When AC was less cold, that means working AC power has been declining. Most appropriate for dealing with problems like this is to take him to the car repair shop. The reduced working capacity caused by the leakage of air conditioning, or refrigerant is time to be replaced or added.

Strange sounds
Strange noise coming from car air conditioning compressor could be due to damage. This component is the most expensive part of the AC car. If the bearings on the compressor broke, then the other components will also be contaminated by the metal particles. How to repair is to drain the cooling system, and replace the compressor and other components that were damaged. Usually the cost is quite expensive.

Normal functioning, but there are water droplets
These water droplets are usually derived from the evaporator. Evaporator has a drain pipe, to remove water out of the car. The problem occurs because the sewerage pipes are broken or clogged. So that the water which should come out of the car, a drip in the car cabin. For problems like this, the repair cost is relatively cheap.

Car air conditioner systems require regular maintenance, like other systems on the car. Compressors require lubrication, filters should be cleaned from dirt and moisture. When the filter is dirty, then the system could be disrupted or not working at all. For the refrigerant gas, generally need to be replaced after two years.

For additional information, automobile air conditioning systems are used throughout the year, it will be better and durable. AC that often enabled, will be encouraged to continue to circulate refrigerant. Refrigerant contains a lubricant, which can lubricate the entire air conditioning system and also can make a durable compressor.

Bad habits that need to be avoided when driving a car

• When the switch on the car, do it gently and do not get too excited, like stepping on the gas pedal when starting the machine. If done carelessly, it will have an impact that is not good for a car engine, because engine oil has not spread to any surface perfectly engine. Great friction that occurs suddenly, without lubrication is good enough, will cause the car engine life becomes shorter.
• Use the appropriate gear cars with engine speed. Each number of gears, have the speed or ability of its own. Each number is capped spin machine. Use the gears that are not in accordance with the rpm, will cause the engine to be faltering.
• Do not turn the steering wheel, when the car stops in the state. If it is too often performed, can damage the steering system, as in the tie-rod and ball joint. Even the power steering seals can be quickly damaged. So do not rush to turn the steering wheel when the car is not running. Perform playback on the steering wheel as the car began to walk slowly.
• Foot on the pedal-position clutch, when driving a car, is a habit that is not true. If the load driver's foot causing the clutch to be depressed too deep, then the clutch plates will be quickly eroded. So that these components will wear out faster than the lifetime should be.
• Hitting the gas pedal repeatedly without any necessity, could cause the car to be wasteful of fuel, and can damage the engine. This habit can make the crust in place of combustion engines become more numerous. This need not be done, because the gas pedal goal is to support the speed of the car and to provide driving comfort.
• Do not forget to use the engine braking effect (engine brake) at the time of braking. Besides being more secure, these habits can also save the brake the car. Reduce braking habits with objects that are too close, making the brakes work became more severe.
• To use a more precise wiper is by spraying the water first. Because the coarse dust which stick on the windshield can scratch the glass if it functioned immediately, without spraying it with water first.

If the car was left open, could cause the entry and attachment of dust from outside into the interior of the car. To better protect these things can happen, you can buy a car cover that many car accessories are sold in stores.

Here is an alternative that can be used as fragrances, car cabin space:

• Coffee, pandanus and oranges. When this material is known to have a strong odor. Put the coffee powder in the cab car, in a glass container. After that, leave on for one night. This method is also effective enough to eliminate the musty smell. After the smell in the cabin to be normal, use air freshener smell like pandanus leaf, or orange peel. Place for a few days under car seats, and exhaust after drying.
• Cucumber. How to use this cucumber is like a juice blender until smooth, then mix it with shampoo or soap, which is used to wash the dirty part. Cabin space will also become more smelling fresh.
• Powder. Automobile parts in chrome, it looks eye catching, but this section becomes sensitive to dirt. Spent the flow of water droplets or dry already, will leave permanent scars. As a result, the interior surface of the chrome will be visible spots. To clean it can use a powder that functioned like a scrub. Scouring powder with a soft cloth, then rub and clean with a dry cloth.

• Read the manual vehicles, to know the location of the dump valve oil. Generally located at the bottom center in the bottom of the car. Place the bowl used oil container under the oil discharge valve, then open the valve by using the key opener. Do it with caution, because the oil temperature may be too hot.
• After that let the used oil to flow out until completely discharged. While waiting for the process, clean the exhaust valves that have been disposed of them. Besides the filling valve is also open for new oil. After that plug the drain valve cover oil. But remember, do not too fast, do it fair.
• Replace the old filter oil, with the new. Check the seal and add a new layer of thick film to coat the seal. Then put the new oil filter that, and tighten it by hand.

Brake fluid
Take a look at the disc brake and brake drum. Check the quality of brake fluid, brake lines, and brake. For brake fluid, usually must be replaced or cleaned after the car get distance of 10,000 km. Note this section so as not to empty, and note also the comparison between the front and rear. The front gets a bigger portion, because the part most often used when the car brakes.

Brake lining
To check the brake lining thickness of your car, do it with the help of the handbrake. Hand brake rear brake associated with your car. If you check this way, you should remember during the height of the lever is pulled, as compared with the current position of the lever. If the higher position of the hand brake, the brake means increasingly slim.

Subsequent maintenance mode is a way to clean it. Here is how. Remove the wheel of a car by using the lock bolt. Notice the disc breaks, and loose brake handle, using tools such as hammer or screwdriver. When the brake is dirty, use sandpaper, brush, or brush to clean it.

Abruptly turned off the car after driving, is a bad habit

One bad habit that should be avoided when driving a car is avoid deadly car engine in a hurry. If this is done continuously, will cause engine damage. For more details, described as follows.

• We turned off the engine, do not immediately turn the ignition key to the off position, and pressed the gas pedal hard. This is very influential on the car engine lubrication. When high speed, the engine needs better lubrication. But because the machine is switched off immediately, although there was still some oil on the wall of boring (home-cylinder), then the lubrication of machines to be reduced. If bad habits are often performed, then the machine will be worn and damaged.
• Turn off the machine after driven in high speed, is how to use a less precise. At the time the car is driven in high speed, race car engines kitchen work very hard, so the engine temperature becomes high. In high temperatures, the components in the engine expands. If you suddenly turned off, then it will be damaging the cylinder wall.
• Machines that are required to do high speed continuously, it must be stressed. This condition makes the machine state becomes unstable.
• Habit turned off the engine suddenly, after driving in high speed, can lead to rapid wear of piston ring, then the damage will continue to decrease the compression, so the car engine becomes less powerful.

Fix windshield wipers that moving slowly or jammed

In order to achieve comfort in driving, take the time to check the performance of your car windshield wipers regularly. Starting from examining a series of wipers work, with flush windshield first then activate your windshield wipers. Then check the performance optimization of wiper electrical motor and also the elasticity of the rubber wiper.

Another problem that often occurs on the car windshield wipers are in the form of slow movement, though still functioning. If the windshield wipers on your car is experiencing problems like these, you can inspect the damage as follows:

• Components of resistance in the coil, which led to large current successor in dirty conditions. To fix it, immediately remove these components and clean it carefully. The cause this component become dirty is due to dust and corrosion.
• Ankle shaft windscreen wiper jammed. If the problem occurred because of the mild corrosion on that part, can be repaired by spraying liquid 4wd. However, if the corrosion is severe, how to fix it would be more difficult. That had to remove the section by force, and re welded in to restore function to normal.
• Contact button has jammed. This problem can be detected by integrating positive and negative electric wires in the circuit outside the contact button. If the union of positive and negative electricity causes sparks, and the section moves, so can be concluded that problem is the contact button jammed. So the contacts button should be replaced with new ones.
• Components of the electric motor was damaged. If examination of the circuit has been done, but the windscreen wiper movement remains slow, then the allegation is the largest potential problem with the electric motor components. For this problem you need to shop dynamo, to repair damage to the electric motor components.
• Drop out fuses. Fuse was enabled to break the electrical current, in case of electrical short circuiting. Drop out fuse will cause the windshield wipers to be not moving, because there is no electrical current. After replacing the fuse, make sure also that there was no damage to electrical flow. Because if still damaged will make the fuses drop out again.
• Relations were damaged circuit wires. How to check is to use a screwdriver test pen (existing indicator lamp). Take a positive electrical cable, which is usually red. If one cable to make a screwdriver test pen lit, while others cable are not, it can be concluded that there is a cable that was damaged or broken.
• Damage to gear windscreen wiper. Usually on the wiper gear was damaged after prolonged usage. How to fix it can only be done by replacing them with new ones.

If all the steps of checking on car windshield wiper above already done, but the movement wiper remained slow, you can decide to bring your car to the car repair shop, by explaining to the car repair shop that already checked independently by yourself also.

Rubber windshield wipers care

Car windshield wiper, is an important component to support the safety while driving. Wiper function is vital when a car driven in rainy conditions. Because the wiper function is to sweep rainwater from the surface of the windshield, so the driver can see into front. One component that windshield wipers should be checked regularly is a rubber wiper. Checking it is to know whether the rubber on the wipers still elastic or not. If the rubber has hardened, the wiper will not give maximal function as it should.

Rubber wiper hard and inelastic is a sign that the rubber wiper is already time to be replaced with new ones. Sign rubber wiper is not functioning is there is dew on the windshield swept by the wiper. So the result of cleaning is not perfect. In addition a hard rubber wiper can scratch the windshield, so that it can impede the driver's view.

Sunlight hitting the car windshield, making the windshield surface temperature increased. Because the wiper position, attached to the windshield, of course heat will flow to the rubber wiper. It has become common knowledge that heat can damage the rubber. Effect of changing weather that hit the rubber wiper, made it becomes inelastic. Because at the heat temperature, rubber wipers to expand, while during the cold, the rubber wiper became shrunken. Continuous temperature changes ultimately make the rubber wiper becomes damaged.

To keep the rubber wiper from from windshield surface, you can simply position the wiper lever in an upright position when the car was parked, even more when the car was parked in hot areas. To be more safe, choose a car parked in a cool place. Install the car cover on the car when the car was parked in a long time, can also protect the rubber windshield wipers. Because these steps can prevent a rubber wiper from drastic changes of outside air temperature continuously, which can damage the wiper rubber elasticity as described before. In addition, you also can buy a car accessory that is used to support the rod wiper, so that the rubber wiper can easily be dissociated from the surface of the windshield when the accessory is turned on. Car accessory like this has a lot on the market.

Maintenance of power windows

Although the movement glass of power windows on our car only two directions, up and down, the performance of power windows need regular maintenance to keep it working properly. Problems that often occurs is usually a process faltered up and down the glass and glass tilted position, so that power window could not close perfectly. If the problem occurs is the glass clogged, usually caused by dirty rubber glass and rails of power windows. If this were allowed, could lead to damage to the motor power windows.

The best care of car power windows is every six months. Especially if your activity is often through the dusty road. Actually, to care rubber glass of power windows fairly easily and requires no special workshop equipment. You can do independently at home, and here some maintenance ways that can help you:

• Prepare the silicone spray that already common sold in the market, but avoid penetrant that actually can invite the dust back to the rubber glass.
• Note the condition of rubber dust barrier, along the bottom of the glass, including the rubber attached to the door frame. Spray the gum line along the glass, until evenly so that the dirt that settles to fall out. It also can restore the rubber glass be flexible again.
• Open the door trim, to look after the inside power windows. Be careful with plastic clips, not to break. Open the plastic cover, with the release of glue along the edge of the plastic. Then look at the tracks, which contain steel wire to go up and down the glass. Apply new grease as needed if the conditions of the old grease is dry and dirty. Do not be redundant, so grease spreads do not contaminate the glass when it is used.
• Also check the plastic glass holders. Tighten if it feels loose, and position it so as not to tilt the glass. If there is slope of the glass, the glass will make the movements become sluggish, and the glass could not close perfectly. The process of tightening plastic glass holders, do it with carefully. Because of the age factor could make plastic cracks easily.
• Try moving car power windows with install the switch button first. If you already feel sure that there is no longer obstacles, continue to close the plastic lid back power windows.
• Spray contact cleaner on the sockets of power windows button, until clean.
• Electrical sockets that dirty can make power windows glass movement becomes imperfect. In addition it may cause electrical short circuiting. Then finish the job, with power windows reassembly in accordance with step by step.

Check air pressure of tire

Air pressure in tires is very influential on driver safety. Therefore indispensable routine inspection to air pressure in the car tires. In addition, the appropriate tire air pressure will make the life of car tires into durable. According to some test data, if you can keep the air pressure in accordance with the provisions of a car tire, you can save a further 3.3 percent and save on fuel costs. How do we detect a tire pressure?

• If wear occurs in right side and left side of tire, it's mean that air pressure in tires is too low.
• If wear occurs in the middle of tire, meaning that the air pressure on your tires is too much
• if occurs differences wear between the surface of the wheel, thick and thin, it can happen because of weak shock absorbers on your car.
• If tire wear is on the inside surface only or on the outerside only, meaning there is a problem spooring on the cars.

Determining car tire pressure should be in accordance with the provisions that have been determined. Check your tire pressure regularly within a certain timeframe, and immediately add the air if the tire air pressure decreases because of usage. The following are things that you need to know associated with car tire pressure:

• Checking the air pressure in tires can be done with the tire pressure gauge. Add the air, if necessary in accordance with the appropriate size.
• Tire pressure that too high make car to be less comfortable to drive. It can accelerate the wear rate at the top surface of the tire. Moreover, it can accelerate the damage to some parts of the car, especially at places where the connection.
• Tire pressure also should not be too low , because the edges of the tires will wear more quickly than the other tires surface. In addition, the car gets heavier to drive and create a wasteful fuel consumption.
• Tire pressure, can be estimated by looking at the tire shape. However, you must train your ability to see in the appropriate tire pressure for your car. Namely by comparing the field tire surface, between tire and road. Best done by looking from the side, so the results more precise.
• In the dark, the most practical way to measure air pressure in car tires is to give a blow on the tires. Whether it's using a hammer or using a leg kick. You have to train this ability by comparing the sound of tires and hard reflection happens. Tire pressure that too low, will give a heavy sound and weak reflection.
