Main Cause of Death Machine Car Damaged

Just as people who are facing dangerous diseases are a major cause of death should also be avoided by the car engine problems that can cause fatal injuries.

Damage to the machine is certainly not desired by any vehicle owner. But there is some damage to the engine, which can be deadly in an instant. The effect is clear, you will have a lesser amount because of injury. Good to buy spare parts and costs for mechanical work.

The results of our studies show that there are five issues that can cause fatal damage to this machine. But it also makes us so afraid for no apparent reason. If you are conscientious and able to know the characteristics or operation of important components of machines, this damage is minimized. For what. Necessary preventive measures before it happens

What kind of damage and how preventive action?

1. The timing belt

Serve as a timing belt is round crankshaft and adjust the valves so they do not collide. So it would be fatal if the belt that connects the two mechanisms is broken suddenly. Of course some damage inevitable because the piston will hit the valve in its open position.

When this happens in an engine at high speed, it is impossible to engine block can be broken in a collision which took place several times. But it can be minimized if a rider knows the damage immediately so that the machine could not be prosecuted again for distart.

Motor with low compression ratio and a turbocharger or supercharger equipped machine tend to be less susceptible to damage by the distance between the valve with a piston with a hole a little more than the naturally aspirated engines.

Preventive measures:

• Replace timing belt on a regular basis, as recommended, or about 25-30 thousand miles.

• Accelerate the replacement of the timing belt when the car passes the road is often blocked.

Waiting in the second turbo engine

High pressure combustion chamber in the machine with compressed air equipment suppliers, such as turbocharger or compressor to the piston load is very high. Therefore, the piston can be damaged when the engine until the symptoms are knocking.

Premature combustion before the time would be a piston high vibration and temperature of the combustion chamber increases dramatically. The causes of all kinds, ranging from the failure of the cooling system performance, installation, or turbo boost pressure of the excess to the quality of fuel that is not appropriate.

Preventive measures:

• Use a quality fuel with a minimum of 95 octane levels.

• Check the cooling system on a regular basis, including parts such as electric fans, thermo-switch, et al.

3. Water hammer

Aspiration of water into the combustion chamber (RAM) is one of the most fatal to the result of an automobile engine. Water is much denser than air, when filling the engine, certainly can not press on the compression stroke. In a condition of closing the valve, the pressure of the water produced will destroy the weakest component in the combustion chamber of the piston.

Well, in the rainy season, as now, watching the puddles are ready to face.

Preventive measures:

• Know the height of the air intake of the car before moving in the pools.

• Do not groped to start the engine, when in the midst of the flood.

• Open the cap and start the engine to remove water in the combustion chamber.

4. Overheat

When the temperature of the engine exceeds the limit, it is certainly a lot of injuries occur. But on a modern machine, the computer automatically protects the machine by turning off the engine gradually. Reject work as AC compressor, so I’m in safe mode (safe mode) until the time machine will be completely stopped. But the era of the automobile in 1990, of course, this feature is not yet available. But it is possible to characterize the symptoms of its presence knock under acceleration, and the indicator needle, which moves toward the edges of H.

Preventive measures:

• Check the cooling system and the amount of engine oil on a regular basis.

• Note the temperature gauge hit when symptoms occur.

• car stopped as soon as possible when you know that warming occurred

5. Oil leakage

In any machine, is undoubtedly lubricant leakage, causing serious injury and fatal consequences. The drastic reduction in the amount of friction causes the engine oil on moving parts will increase so the impact on increasing the temperature of the engine (overheating) and exceptional wear.

One cause is the destruction of the coverage of oil spills holes located under the engine due to impact on the road. In fact, this rarely happens, but you have to look for evidence of oil in the dash lights are on, after losing oil pressure pump. Other causes of leaks in the seals on the engine, although this type of damage does not cause a drastic reduction in the amount of oil, but little by little.

Preventive measures

• Check the oil regularly.

• Do not underestimate the oil lamp, which lights flashing. Immediately check the oil level so that the damage is getting worse. Because this means that the oil pump has lost pressure.

Car Powered By Water

Many factors can cause the car is the starter, can be caused by damage to the electrical system or damage the machine parts that are so complex. Like the previous review of machines just can not be the ignition and the engine not running.

The engine turns but will not start

If no noise from the fuel pump on the first turn the key ON, you can remove the key and start again, or try to start the engine until the oil light goes This can make the pump work and engine life. In vehicles with electronic fuel injection in general, heard the buzz a few seconds near the fuel tank is the sound of an electric fuel pump is working. If the machine is operating normally, and introduced himself, but the engine is still alive. The possibility of the engine is a “flood”. The solution is to try to Stampede at full speed and try and remove the accelerator pedal when the engine survived. And if the machine is running, or normal, but it seems to want to live there are no symptoms. The easiest step is to watch the fuel gauge on the dash, if there is fuel in the tank or not. If the machine is running, but with a sound pattern is not uniform and repetitive, the most likely timing chain or timing belt had broken. You can call a tow truck in the garage, and replace it.

The engine starts but stops immediately

If the machine is easy to live, but also in a hurry again, usually this is a common disease at the expense of power. Replacing the device problem is likely to be the final solution. If the machine starts and on, but when the tooth is inserted, the machine suddenly shook and died, possibly converter clutch transmission in the torque converter (turbine) attached when it should not. Because of the improvement is quite complicated, you must call the mechanic. When you start the engine and leave for a while, but when the machine is not dead, probably due to emit fast idle problem. When the engine is cold, the engine must be able to stop faster than the already hot conditions. To keep the engine running. You can start the engine and gently press the gas pedal to warm up. Immediately take your car to the shop for repairs.
