Autostart is found in many modern cars. And this is a very comfortable option, which greatly facilitates the driver’s life and makes it more comfortable. But there is also the other side of the coin. Thanks to the device, the car engine is under increased pressure and can fail prematurely. About how this is done, the portal “AvtoVzglyad” tells.
Of course, most often the option is used in winter, but in summer there is use for it. For example, to simply warm up the engine and immediately go at a high pace. In this case, it turns out that the electronic control unit prepares an enriched fuel-air mixture each time after starting. The design of the engine also contributes to this. Basically, 3-5 liters of fuel are consumed per day for “warming up”, which is quite a lot.
As a result, when the car is stationary and idling, a rich mixture washes away the oil film from the cylinder walls. And the fat itself is cold and thick at first. Abundantly “envelop” the details, she simply does not have time. Therefore, the greatest wear and tear occurs in the first minutes.
But that is not everything. Gasoline, diluting the oil, is flushed into the crankcase with it, which is associated with a loss of viscosity of the lubricant and its protective properties. In other words, lubricant resources are greatly reduced and additives are developed. And if one day you find yourself in traffic jams in the heat, this can lead to local overheating for the engine. And the oil will turn into a black liquid like tar. She will immediately finish the power source.
Go ahead. Idling and warm-up rates are one of the most damaging modes for the “steel heart”. In this case, there is strong coking of piston rings and valves. It is aggravated if the car crawls into traffic jams after warming up. But the driver is calm. He prepared the engine in advance!
Unfortunately, this only makes things worse. At speeds up to 2000, the gasoline does not evaporate from the crankcase. And in the oil system itself there is a low pressure, which worsens the lubrication of rubbing parts. And the combustion chambers coke, a layer of soot accumulates on the candle insulators.
As a result, with frequent use of autostart, the oil quickly wears out its resources. As a result, wear appears on the walls of the cylinders and the oil burner. If you already use this option, change the consumable not by mileage, but by engine hours. So the device will last longer.
