Most “summer” recommendations for car owners on the Internet come down to all kinds of “scarecrows” and advice with the prefix “don’t”: don’t do this, don’t use this
With new cars now in Russia, to say the least, “not very good”. Vehicle spare parts that people have on hand cost a lot. Because of this, repairs and even routine maintenance have become a very sad thing – from the point of view of the security of the wallet’s contents. Therefore, on the one hand, the car owner must now be extra careful with his car and, on the other hand, try to minimize his maintenance costs.
In particular, according to such “savings logic”, the AvtoVzglyad portal recommends carrying out a large dry cleaning of the car interior in hot weather. The fact is that afterwards all upholstery, seats and other interior details that can absorb moisture remain wet. And far from every car wash, the car is dried well after such an intervention. The moisture left over from dry cleaning can cause a whole host of problems in the future, from body corrosion to electrical “failures”. And in the hot summer sun, the interior is guaranteed to dry quickly.
The second “life hack” concerns air filters – cabin and standing in the engine compartment. Even if the time has not yet come to replace them, don’t be lazy – take them out and vacuum them while it’s warm. In warm weather, dust and other contaminants are more easily separated from the filter elements.
As for the cabin filter, we recommend (if possible) to put it in the sun all day long. So that the heat and ultraviolet kill as much of the bacteria living there as possible.
While it is warm and dry, we recommend that you open the hood and, armed with a long elastic wire with a hooked end, inspect the space between the engine and the air conditioning cooling radiators. Usually waste accumulates there, consisting of a mixture of street dust, fluff and tree seeds, insect remains and the like. This substance significantly complicates the cooling of the engine and the operation of the “kondeya”. Heat-dried mud is much easier to remove from the space between the radiators.
Now the majority of car owners in Russia can hardly seriously plan to buy a new car. Therefore, in order to preserve the body of your current vehicle, you need to organize an anti-corrosion treatment for it – the bottom and hidden cavities. This is preferable in warm and dry weather. After all, water, you know, does not contribute to a high-quality anti-rust application.
HOT GLASS
An older car very often has a fairly “worn” windshield. After all, for years sand and stones flew off the road at high speed. It shows off chips and cracks after hitting larger rocks. So, if you decide to change the “front”, do it exclusively in the summer in dry and warm weather. Ideally, with the departure of the masters to the parking lot of the four-wheeled “customer”. You can of course also bring your car to the workshop. But the fact is that until the glue that fixes the windshield to the car body has completely hardened, it is not recommended at all to move the car so that the “iron” does not move even a fraction of a millimeter relative to the glass.
This process takes place with every, even the most precise movement of a car – simply because the rigidity of a body is by definition lower than that of glass. Therefore, returning the car from the workshop immediately after the bonding process is completed can, with a reasonable degree of probability, lead to leakage around the perimeter of a brand new windshield. Therefore, in order to glue the new “front cover” with the highest quality, this manipulation should be carried out in the parking lot of your car. Certainly not in the rain. In addition, to allow the glue to dry, an ambient temperature of at least 15ºС above zero is required, and even hotter is better. So it turns out that dry warm weather is ideal for replacing the windshield.
