1. Shock absorbers
The shock absorbers provide driving comfort and represent a safety guarantee as they help control the vehicle at high speeds and in risky situations. In fact, it is considered one of the three essential components of the so-called “safety triangle”, together with tires and brakes.
The proper functioning of a shock absorber depends on various factors, such as road conditions, vehicle load, mileage and wear effects such as cold, heat and humidity. The action of these factors causes the effect of the shock absorber to be gradually reduced, until it stops working properly. As it is not a very noticeable wear for the driver, it is advisable to make periodic checks every 20,000 kilometers.
2. Wiper blades
In case of rain, the windshield wiper blades represent a fundamental role. If they do not sweep well and do not properly evacuate the water, (or hail or snow), they prevent precious information from reaching our eyes. A few seconds can be vital.
If the brushes leave areas to be swept, originate fogged strangers, make noise or jumps, the time has come to replace them. ASETRA advised its change after the summer as appropriate. There is nothing worse for its components than the long days of sun and high temperatures. Now, in addition, they usually incorporate wear detectors very
3. Filters
You should check them at least once a year. In vehicles they are mounted of several types:
• OIL FILTERS:
Normal engine wear implies the appearance of metal particles that come off the components and will stop the lubricant. The oil filter’s mission is to retain these particles that impair the performance of the engine or even seriously damage it. Since the oil replacement periods have been greatly delayed in new vehicles and although the quality of the filters has improved significantly, it is essential to replace this element every time the lubricant is changed.
• AIR FILTERS:
A filter in good condition ensures that the air that reaches the engine does not contain abrasive particles. In this way, combustion is carried out under the best conditions and fuel consumption is maintained at the levels included in the vehicle catalog, as is the case with polluting emissions. It is important that the filter is always checked in vehicle maintenance operations. The end of his life depends a lot on the places through which he circulates. Hence, in case of walking on dusty roads usually, it is necessary to proceed much more frequently to its replacement than if driving through much cleaner environments.
• FUEL FILTERS:
Its operation differs in the case of gasoline vehicles: remove impurities from the fuel before they reach the engine, while in diesel-powered vehicles they serve to remove water and prevent corrosion of the metal elements of the engine. In both cases, your task is essential to ensure the health of the engine. They should be checked whenever the vehicle enters the workshop for maintenance.
