Long-time don’t use vehicle need note 5 maintenance tips

Long-suspended cars subject to the technical condition of the various assemblies and institutions gradually deteriorate, because of atmospheric corrosion, even resulting in loss of their technical performance. To mitigate this adverse effect, the car owner should be often do necessary maintenance work to make the long-suspended cars in a good performance status.

 

1, prevent rusting metal

 

Corrosion is mainly due to air moisture, oxygen and corrosive substances. Therefore, the long suspended cars; metal surfaces should be kept clean. Vehicles parked inside the garage should be kept ventilated; the air relative humidity is maintained at 70% or less. Also need for timely removal the dust autel maxidiag elite md802, dirt and water in the car. In easily corroded parts and surfaces should be coated with oil, grease or bandaged with greaseproof paper. The pores on each assembly mechanism should be sealed to prevent air, water and dust from entering the interior.

 

2, prevent aging of rubber products

 

The rubber products in the cars, such as tires, belts, and a dust cover, etc., often aging or the shape expansion occurs, resulting in deterioration of the performance, use life span becomes short.

 

Plastic and rubber products aging mainly due to the rubber polymer are unsaturated hydrocarbons, easy absorb the oxygen in the air then oxidation, and vulcanized rubber have gas permeability, oxygen easy access to the internal then oxidation. Especially in direct sunlight can induce rapid aging of rubber. Rubber products after gasoline and oil contamination will lead to volume expansion, gum lose elasticity decreases.


Rubber products to prevent aging, should avoid direct sunlight and contact with mineral oil.

 

3, prevent gasoline antiknock performance degradation

 

Gasoline antiknock performance is determined by the octane gasoline level. Car long suspended, gasoline octane number will be decrease with the increase of component loss and colloid content decreases, making it antiknock performance decreases. Thus, gasoline tank need to tightly closed, and avoid overheating. Gasoline storage time is best not to be too long.

 

4, prevent cotton products and carpets mildew, etc.

 

It is easy to absorb moisture. Especially in humid areas and rainy season, more damp mildew. So the car owners to deal with regular checks of cotton products, timely dry, keep dry.

 

5, always check the working condition of the engine

 

At least once a month to start the engine, idling functioning 4-5min, check the engine. If it have abnormal phenomenon need timely adjustment and maintenance.

 

Some car diagnostic tools can help you test your car by yourself, such as:
