On a long journey, most drivers take a set of spare parts with them, so that in the event of a breakdown on the highway, they quickly solve the problem and continue driving. But few people know that in certain cases even an experienced “driver” with a repair kit will not be able to quickly repair the car. About what kind of problems can turn a trip into a nightmare, the portal “AvtoVzglyad” says.
Let’s start with the little things that matter. Nobody even looks at the wheel nipples, but a process like the aging of rubber is unstoppable. If you do not change these cheap parts for a long time, microcracks will appear on them. This starts to poison the air and this happens at the most inopportune moment, when the driver has already neatly left a large settlement. In the worst case, two wheels start to go down and then the spare wheel doesn’t help. And if the coil poisons, the sealant bottle will not always be effective.
But that is not everything. On a long journey, almost all drivers take a set of candles and an ignition coil with them. As a rule, it is the only one, because it costs a lot. Such a kit helps a lot, because if one of the coils on the track breaks and the engine starts to triple, the car owner has spare parts to fix the problem. But the trick is that not everyone can immediately determine which of the spare parts is defective. The quest begins and it can end badly. The fact is that the coils “stick” over time and are removed with difficulty. For example, Volkswagen engines are known for this. It may happen that during disassembly such a “stuck” part simply cracks. And she, as luck would have it, will work! A situation arises in which the broken coil has not yet been found and the broken coil must be replaced. You have to call a tow truck and pay for a long trip to the service.
Many even have a gas pump in the trunk, so that there is a possibility of replacement in the event of a breakdown. Other car experts recommend buying one that fits into the “top ten” because it can be “picked up” even for a foreign car. Do not listen to such advice. After all, not everyone succeeds in “agriculture”. And not everyone knows how to remove the back seat and open the fuel tank. This is a difficult job that an ordinary motorist simply cannot do. We therefore do not recommend spending money on such a spare part. Better watch what you put in the tank.
Another unpleasant surprise that awaits the owner of a used car. Usually no one pays attention to the condition of the exhaust system suspension. But the brackets are rusting. And when you start the process, the muffler, along with the pipe, just falls off and remains on the road. It is impossible to eliminate such a disturbance in the field. So before a long journey, look under the bottom, clean it from rust and treat it with anti-rust agents. This reduces the chance of force majeure.
