New Year’s holiday over. Exhausted by the queues in Krasnaya Polyana, citizens return home and new problems await them here. Of course – with cars wintering in the
To begin with, we remember that in the first days of January it poured torrential rain, and then a severe frost hit. Changes in atmospheric pressure were also observed. Such weather affects not only the well-being of people, but also cars.
For example, an “iron horse”, which has been standing still for the entire holiday, may have frozen tires in the ice. We’ll have to take a crowbar and an axe. With a crowbar we knock off the ice around the wheels, and with an ax – under the thresholds, because it is easier for them to work. The occupation is long and physically demanding, but there is no other way out. After all, the pressure in the tires also dropped. Therefore, an attempt to free the car from captivity with the help of a neighbor in an SUV who offers to pull the car with a cable will lead to the fact that one or two tires will simply come off the rims. Creating a “reserve” is also not easy. After all, the bolts are most likely frozen solid and it is impossible to unscrew them. Yes, and the parking brake pads can also be “cooked”.
Revving strongly in an attempt to “break” the car and exit the parking lot is strongly discouraged. This is fraught with the appearance of scratches on the walls of the cylinders, as the engine warms up slowly. Yes, and the variator is subjected to a greater load. Therefore, first check the pressure and inflate the wheels. Then take the crowbar. And only then, when the power unit warms up, try to drive away.
Let’s not forget the battery. Someone takes him home, afraid of the discharge. A similar technique can indeed be used on older machines. And with new ones, this is fraught with a call to a tow truck with a subsequent ride to service. After all, the electronics sees disassembling the battery as an attempt to steal a car, including the lock, which is only removed by a dealer scanner.
What happens if you don’t touch anything? Nothing good. A voltage drop in, for example, the on-board network of a BMW 5-series causes many error messages to appear on the dashboard. You can only remove them with the same scanner.
Mazda3 often does not open doors. This is due to both the battery discharge and the keyless entry sensor or button being stuck. And in Korean cars in the cold, the ECU often “bugs”. Especially if moisture gets under the hood during rain. This is fraught with launch issues.
Finally, you should not immediately drive at high speed on the unpaved road or drive up a high curb. All strong shocks and diagonal loads in cold weather are contraindicated for a car: sealing joints can lose their tightness. Plus, they also have a crust of ice cream on top. So at the first thaw you get a surprise like water in the cabin. And in the chassis there will be more wear in the “rubbers” of the suspension elements and transmission anthers.
