As we settle into reality with no new cars, the problems previously solved by the next loan deal are piling up. Here’s a leak, here’s a bottleneck. Here the speakers are beeping. Is it worth going straight to the store for something new, or is there a way to save money, the portal AvtoVzglyad discovered.
Welcome to the world of used cars! From now on and for months to come, if not years, the mantra “then we’ll buy a new one” is invalid and irrelevant, because there simply aren’t any new ones. Rather, they are, but comparing the price of a new car and the need to buy it, logic wins. This makes no sense, it is easier to wait for the crisis for the car you already have. However, not everything is smooth and comfortable in this paradigm.
Even a three or five year old car can be a surprise and requires more attention than an annual oil change with brake pads and a rare wash. “Consumables” of the second order are beginning to approach the end of their resource, “dances” with various sensors, nodes and others, unknown to followers of new machines, appear. A simple example is columns. It seems like they lived – they didn’t grieve, they were even friends, when suddenly, one innocent summer morning, the driver’s seat environs announced a previously unknown wheezing and crackling. The price in the store can not only bite, but also swallow, so you have to make compromises: endure or pay. However, the experience of driving an adult car suggests that there are other recipes.
Let’s start with the soil: Even after a few years of heavy use, car speakers can collect an impressive amount of a wide variety of dirt – from a speck of dust to a self-tapping screw with a nut. All this “happiness” lies in a dense layer over the entire area, sticks to a magnet, crams itself into “bins” and, of course, gets in the way of the enjoyment of musical compositions. Sometimes you can even restore the old melody with a simple cleaning of the speaker itself. At the same time, we will inspect the fastening of the door cards – the Russian road has not disappeared anywhere, so the imported clip holding the decorative plastic “does not always flank health”.
The second important element is the wiring. Thin wiring can fray, oxidize and even crumble, creating solid noise instead of tones. An experienced master “in order” to determine the culprit: swollen, crumbling green “lace” can no longer fulfill its immediate duties. If everything is visually in order, you need to call. A multimeter is a useful thing in the household – it is cheap and it is indispensable when using cars. Somehow the culprit will be found. To change the assembly, throw “snot” or solder – everyone’s choice. But it is absolutely impossible to do without repairs, and the column itself is not to blame.
The third major point to diagnose is the connector itself, which has a tendency to open and even crumble, oxidize and just get covered in dirt. To clean it, you need a special chemical composition, because it simply will not survive a meeting with a brush and, above all, a file. The green coating subtly indicates that water has repeatedly entered the joint, so musical discomfort is only a result of the problem to be solved in the first place. However, the most common option is a simple hole caused by the next summer rally raid. Stick it in place, and there will be happiness.
The paradigm of the new world, which has not only appeared on the horizon, but is already sweeping the planet with great force, is conscious moderate consumption, which means having some understanding of the processes that take place in the car. Dozens, if not hundreds, of idle conveyor belts – only Toyota stopped 16 lines – clearly hints that we will now be using the machines for a long time, and the mantra about “replace every three years” will very soon be the now fashionable “cancellation.” undergo.
