The car engine is the heart of the car and is difficult to run once there is a problem. There are many reasons for engine failure, such as poor driving habits, improper maintenance methods, etc. can lead to engine failure. Today Xiaobian will come to tell you about the most common "death methods" of the engine, I don't know if you have ever been tricked?
Do not replace the air filter for a long time
The air filter is a very important component of the car engine, the air filter element can filter the impurities in the air, so that the fuel is fully burned, so as to ensure the normal operation of the engine. If the air filter element is not replaced for a long time, it will cause impurities in the air to enter the engine, resulting in insufficient fuel combustion and serious engine wear. Therefore, we must replace the air filter regularly, when the car travels about 10,000 kilometers, we must replace the air filter, or replace the air filter once every six months.
2.Water substitute cooling liquid
Coolant is an essential part of a car engine, and it acts as a heat dissipation. In order to save money, many car owners will replace the coolant with water when the coolant is used up. But coolant is not ordinary water and cannot be replaced by pure water. There are many impurities in pure water that not only produce scale, but also cause the engine temperature to rise and wear out. Therefore, when the coolant is used up, we must add a good quality coolant, and do not replace it with pure water.
3. Add inferior engine oil
If the engine is the heart of the car, then the oil is the heart of the engine, and the oil plays a role in lubricating and reducing wear. Many car owners will choose to add inferior oil in order to be greedy, and the viscosity of inferior oil is too thin to play a lubricating role at all, which will increase the wear of the engine. And there are too many impurities in inferior oil, it is easy to produce carbon deposits and increase fuel consumption, so we must add good quality oil when adding oil, and do not add inferior oil for cheap.
4. Do not clean the fuel system on time
The role of the automobile fuel system is to provide clean gasoline to the engine, but the fuel system will be blocked after a period of use, resulting in engine knocking and difficulty in starting. Therefore, we must regularly clean the dirt in the fuel system to ensure the normal operation of the engine.
5. Idle for a long time
Car idling is more likely to produce carbon deposits than usual driving, and long-term idle speed will cause the car engine to produce a lot of carbon deposits, thereby accelerating the aging of engine-related parts. Therefore, we must develop good driving habits when we are driving, do not idle driving, and do not slam on the accelerator and slam on the brakes.
The car engine is a very important part of the car, and once it is damaged, it is very troublesome to repair, and it also costs a lot of maintenance costs. Therefore, we must develop good driving habits and maintain the engine regularly. In particular, it is very important to replace the air filter element regularly and add coolant and oil in time.
