The average life of the car's candles is limited You can travel from 25 to 35 thousand km on one set (it all depends on the manufacturer). But the candles may become unusable even before the given mileage value. This is due to the carbon deposits that form on them. Therefore, they must be periodically cleaned.
Necessary
Rag, fine steel wire brush, phosphoric acid (aka Rust Converter)
Instructions
Step 1
It is necessary to unscrew the candle.
Step 2
Next, you need to remove the loose layer of carbon from the candle with a dry cloth.
Step 3
Pour phosphoric acid into a small container (you can in a glass) and lower the candle there, placing it vertically. In this case, only contacts and threads should be in the acid.
Step 4
Hold the candle in a glass with a solution for 20-30 minutes and remove it from there.
Step 5
Wipe the candle again with a clean, dry cloth to remove any acid residues. The acid must be removed from the thread using a rag wrapped on a sharp object (knife). The plug contacts can be cleaned by wrapping a cloth with a flat object (such as a dipstick). When cleaning, it is important not to damage the threads or bend the contacts.
