Winter is a difficult time, primarily for car owners. With the onset of cold weather, many car owners shudder to imagine how they will have to start their favorites in the cold. For those who leave their cars overnight in an open parking lot, it is time for daily training on starting the engine in frosty weather. However, even at the lowest temperatures, you can successfully start your car.
It is necessary
- - Volga car;
- - a set of candles;
- - candle key;
- - wires for external starting.
Instructions
Step 1
The Volga car is widespread among motorists. In the not very distant past, every car owner dreamed of such a car. When operating in winter, this car still has questions. First of all, it is starting the engine at a low temperature. There can be many reasons why the engine won't start. First of all, check the condition of the battery. If frosts are strong in your area and are frequent, then remove the battery at night and bring it to a warm place. Undoubtedly, the option is troublesome, but reliable. If your Volga stood at night in the open air, turn on the main beam for 3-5 seconds just before starting. This will revitalize the battery.
Step 2
Engine oil tends to thicken at low temperatures. It is better to replace the mineral oil with a synthetic one beforehand. It is not harmful to replace it in the gearbox as well. Before starting the engine, depress the clutch pedal and shift into different gears several times. This will warm up the transmission oil.
Step 3
Make sure all electrical appliances are turned off. These include a heater, heated rear window and a radio. They take some energy from the battery, but can significantly affect how your car starts.
Step 4
Insert the key into the ignition and apply the parking brake. Switch on the ignition with the key and wait a few seconds until the indicator lamps go out. Place the transmission shift lever in neutral. Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine with the starter. Pull out the choke handle at the same time.
Step 5
If the car does not start, then wait two minutes and repeat the starting procedure. If this time it was not possible to start the car, then depress the accelerator pedal only halfway. In frosty weather, candles may be flooded during start-up, in which case they must be replaced with a spare set. In the absence of spare spark plugs, ignite them on the gas stove.
Step 6
In case of an unsuccessful attempt to start the car, use other methods of starting. One of the common ones is an external start from another car.
Step 7
After the car has started, do not sit and do not freeze in the cabin while it warms up. Better to move in the fresh air.
