It is not difficult for car owners to start a car engine in the warm season. But the warm months are replaced by a harsh winter in our area. With the onset of the first frosty days, you can observe the picture on the street - starting the car in winter conditions. A kind of dance of the natives to the frosty movements of the driver around the car. First of all, you need to learn how to start a car engine at low temperatures.
It is necessary
- - car alarm with auto start;
- - teapot;
- - candle key;
- - a set of spark plugs.
Instructions
Step 1
With the onset of the cold season, a serviceable car should start without any effort on the part of the driver. If the thermometer falls below minus 20 degrees Celsius, the car owner will have to take a number of additional measures before he leaves the parking lot. Warm up the vehicle battery before starting the engine. Turn on the high beam for a few seconds. Pause after turning off the lights within 30 seconds and start the car.
Step 2
Depress the clutch when starting the engine to a cold one. This applies to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. Keep your foot on the pedal for a minute and a half if the engine malfunctions. This will prevent the car from stalling before the engine warms up.
Step 3
A difficult situation can arise with cars equipped with diesel engines, if they have summer fuel in the tank. In the fuel system, diesel fuel can turn into a paraffin-like mass in the cold. The surest way to solve this problem is boiling water. Take a kettle of hot water and pour it gently over the fuel filter, high pressure pump and nozzles. At the same time, do not allow liquid to come into contact with the starter and alternator. Helps when starting up the car in winter trouble-free.
Step 4
In addition to frost, there may be problems with air humidity. Under these conditions, gasoline does not evaporate well, which leads to the filling of the glow plugs. Unscrew the candles. If wet, supply a spare set of spark plugs. If there are no spare ones, ignite the petals of the candles on the gas stove and put them in place.
Step 5
It happens that the car stalled without warming up. Wait two to three minutes, take a break and start.
Step 6
In severe frost, not only diesel fuel and engine oil can freeze, but also the coolant. This phenomenon is also due to the fact that there are a lot of low-quality products on the market today. If the car starts up, and the temperature sensor shows engine overheating, then the problem is in the cooling system. Stop the car for fifteen minutes and then start it again. If the situation does not change, roll the car into a warm room and change the coolant for a better quality product.
Step 7
Car alarm systems with auto start are widespread among car owners and are in increasing demand. Set the autorun mode. The engine will warm up every 3-4 hours. As a result, you can easily start the car from the remote control.
