Many drivers do not even realize that they may soon face another serious problem. And this despite the fact that maintenance was carried out on time and a lot of money was spent on consumables. Where to expect problems and what to do to prevent them, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Many car owners traditionally do not save on consumables, preferring to buy products from well-known companies. Citizens have been doing this for years and are not concerned about the technical condition of their car. But that has changed with the disruption of supply chains. Now not every seller can vouch for the quality of filters, because major Western brands have left Russia. Counterfeit manufacturers took advantage of this and counterfeits poured onto the shelves en masse.
The burst of activity of this kind of “craftsmen” is understandable. A counterfeit filter is cheap to produce and can be priced higher. Yes, and a dishonest seller will tell a gullible car enthusiast that this is the original, of which there are very few left. They are already sold out, so be quick.
By the way, the easiest way to fake it is the “air vent”. The cheapest paper can be used as filter material in it. And such a “self-propelled gun” does not require complex equipment. The main thing is to make a high-quality box with the logo of a well-known brand. All!
Such a filter slowly kills the engine. It does not shield the so-called quartz dust, which accelerates the wear of the cylinder-piston group and friction pairs. And the mass airflow sensor is starting to get clogged with dirt. It gives false signals, which is why the electronic engine control unit also begins to fail. As a result, the car loses momentum, fuel consumption increases. And the inverter burns out, soot appears in the cylinders. In general, there is little pleasant.
As for oil filters, making them in Uncle Vanya’s garage is more difficult, but still possible. The body is made of thin metal, they save on filter paper, and the bypass valve is somehow mounted. As a result, after installation on the engine, the spare part swells and the body simply cracks. The bypass valve sticks and orders the engine to overhaul.
Check the condition of the filters on your machine to avoid problems. If the air is already dirty, replace it. However, do not pay attention to well-known brands. Look at quality China, or at domestic manufacturers. Their products are counterfeited much less often and are slightly inferior in quality to the branded products. In any case, the same bypass valve will not jam and the “bleeder” can be replaced more often, which extends the life of the engine.
