The prices for repairs and even a simple check of the car at the service have now risen sharply. Therefore, citizens are looking for effective and inexpensive ways to solve certain problems that inevitably arise with the “iron horse”. The so-called grandfather methods, which the AvtoVzglyad portal tells about, can help in difficult times.
A familiar situation – the air conditioner suddenly began to work sluggishly. In the summer, in the heat, such a breakdown is especially unpleasant. And it also threatens with quite serious costs already at the stage of diagnosis. After all, you must first determine the place of freon leakage. For this, a fluorescent composition is used, which costs money. And only then they climb under the hood to replace various pipes, a compressor, a dryer or a condenser. But this is a topic for a separate article.
Often the cause of a refrigerant leak is the wear of the sealing rings. Rubber products dry out over time and lose their tightness. The bottom line – gas leaks are usually minor, but result in the need to refuel the system every year. A so-called soap solution is used to find a hole cheaply and quickly.
To do this, take an ordinary bar of soap, put it in warm water and let it settle. The agent is then carefully applied to the joints of the system elements. You can lubricate it liberally on the radiator of the air conditioning. Luckily, it’s easy to get to on many machines. After we turn on the “condo” and look carefully. For example, if soap bubbles appear on the radiator, a leak has been found. Note that this method will only work if there is at least a small amount of freon in it. But if the gas has already evaporated, there will be no result.
In addition, the solution is very useful if a tire suddenly starts to puncture on the road. The so-called slow puncture can greatly ruin the driver’s life. In this case, the air from the cylinder gradually goes out, and the helmsman often does not understand the reason. Also, it is not easy to find a leak by eye, because there is no parker or nail sticking out in rubber. This is what liquid is for. We rub her tire and watch the bubbles. Then it remains to get a repair kit, a flagellum and make basic repairs.
And the solution will help to remove the consequences of skewed cleaning of the front panel. This is when the craftsmen at the car wash rub the dashboard with a shoe sponge. Plastic shines like new, but dust sticks to it great. The liquid perfectly removes dirty spots that appear after such a “service”.
