Car Reviews 2024, September

To protect against wear and tear on your car seat, wear seat covers that fit your car's interior perfectly. Choose fabrics made from heavy, abrasion-resistant and pleasant to the touch fabric. Necessary - new car seat covers

Nothing can transform the interior look of a car like an upholstery, but it is not always possible to afford such an expensive pleasure. If you want to get by with "little blood", pull the seats yourself, without contacting a car service

The first place in popularity in tuning is occupied by the interior trim. Quite a lot of tuning workshops are engaged in the upholstery of the salon. If you do not want to spend a lot of money on this pleasure, try leather upholstery yourself

The first hybrid cars on the road, such as the Prius and Civic, were compact and boasted efficient fuel economy. But to please customers still in love with SUVs and worried about high gas prices, some automakers have offered hybrid petrol-electric models

At the Moscow International Motor Show, which began its work on August 29, AvtoVAZ presented its new concept car Lada XRAY. Well-known designers took part in the development of the novelty, many visitors to the exhibition showed interest in it

Lada Granta liftback, previously announced as a hatchback, will be on sale very soon. This Grant will have a number of differences from its congeners. It is promised that Granta liftback will occupy its niche among budget hatchbacks. Appearance

Common pre-heaters such as "Severs", "Lestar" or "Semenov-Podogrev" are designed for installation on various types of domestic cars and trucks, including GAZ vehicles. Necessary - spanner wrenches

The problem of preserving the thermal energy of the engine in winter most often arises before the employees of various offices who get to their place of business by personal transport. A standing car in severe frost for several hours may simply not start due to hypothermia

With the onset of the winter season and the arrival of cold weather, the issue of keeping warm in the engine compartment becomes more urgent. This is especially true of imported cars, in which the engine cools down in winter in a matter of minutes

In modern cars, the engine heats up and cools very quickly, but in winter this becomes an annoying problem, since you have to constantly warm up the engine. Therefore, there is a need to insulate the engine compartment so that it heats up faster and cools down more slowly

In winter, car owners have to periodically leave their car in the cold for 2-3 hours, and sometimes for the whole day. Therefore, it becomes necessary to pre-warm the engine. To avoid unnecessary fuel consumption and engine cooling, it is necessary to insulate it

Before the coming cold weather, it is imperative to take care that the car is warm. In this case, even a trip in a car in winter will become comfortable and pleasant for the driver and his passengers. To insulate the car, it is necessary to rid it of drafts, which do not allow the warmth to linger in the passenger compartment

The most common cause of overheating of internal combustion engines after replacing antifreeze is the presence of air in the cooling system, which disrupts the fluid circulation process. The first sign that gives a signal that there is an air lock in the system is the supply of cold air by the heater to the passenger compartment, despite the fact that it is connected to the antifreeze circulation process in the engine

If your car starts to start poorly, or if you feel the engine is running roughly at idle, the problem may be with the spark plugs. Despite the fact that spark plugs are recommended to be changed every 30 - 45 thousand km, low-quality spark plugs can fail much earlier

Normal operation of the machine is impossible without a car generator. It makes it possible to operate it for a long time, while giving energy to all lighting devices, an ignition system, a battery and all accessories: a tape recorder, an audio amplifier, a TV and others

What to do and where to start if your car engine won't start? Sometimes this philosophical question comes up to car owners. First you need to determine the reason for the refusal. Typically, starting an engine requires fuel, air, and a spark that will ignite the air / fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders

A faulty ignition module can fail at the most inopportune moment. Diagnostics and troubleshooting will take about an hour, but this will allow you to quickly respond to the development of the problem. The main symptom of a malfunction of the ignition module on the VAZ 2110 is the absence of a spark in one or more cylinders

The ignition coil is one of the most important and reliable elements of the ignition system. It is rarely the culprit of malfunctions, so you need to check its serviceability at the very last moment. Instructions Step 1 To begin with, carefully inspect the coil and check the surface for contamination that can lead to the fact that the voltage goes to ground

The retaining ring is used for fastening various elements to the shafts and axles of the gearbox and the car engine. The inner one is used for mounting on the hole, the outer one is for mounting on the shaft. Sometimes, in the process of repairing a car, you have to disassemble parts that have such rings, in particular, when replacing bearings in the wheel hubs

Quite often, car owners make soundproofing of their iron horses. For this purpose, in most cases, a vibroplast is used. This material has good sound insulation properties. Necessary - vibroplast; - roller; - building hair dryer

The rear gearbox of the car is one of the main elements of the transmission, therefore its performance, which depends on the correct adjustment, is extremely important during the operation of the car. Otherwise, a fairly strong hum will be heard when driving, which will create inconvenience when using the vehicle

When operating a car, especially in difficult conditions and with a trailer, the rear axle gearbox gradually goes out of order. This becomes noticeable when, when driving at a speed of 30 km / h, a loud "howl" is heard from behind

After long-term operation of the car in difficult conditions or with a trailer, the rear axle gearbox may fail. As a rule, this does not pose any danger, but constantly when the speed is exceeded at 30 km / h, a strong hum will be heard. The rear gearbox on the classic VAZ models is a rather complicated unit from a technical point of view

Many car enthusiasts love to tint their car. Therefore, very often, when buying a car from hands, it is already tinted. Of course, if this does not bother you, then the car can be left like that. But there are situations when the tinting is pretty worn out and peeled off, or the owner simply does not need tinted glass

The new version of the traffic rules introduced a ban on tinting the windshield and front side windows. Light penetration should be 75% and 70%, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to remove the tint. Necessary - a sharp knife with a thin blade, you can use a clerical one, but it is necessary to provide for the possibility of using it as a scraper - Ferry type detergent or the like - plastic household spray - hairdryer Instructions Step 1

After an increase in the fine for incorrect toning of the car, many car owners decided to abandon it. You can tune the car yourself. It is recommended to do this in a warm garage. Instructions Step 1 For work, prepare in advance a thin, sharp knife that has an end cutting surface

Changing seasons for motorists means changing tires to the current set. Winter, summer, "spike" or "all-season" - whatever rubber is in use, and the one that "rests" must be somehow stored. Many drivers believe that this process is very difficult and is regulated by a system of rather convoluted rules, but in fact this is not at all the case

Unstable engine idling causes a lot of anxiety to the driver, who is forced, during short stops at traffic lights, especially on sloping roads, to press on the brake with one foot and on the accelerator with the other, so that the car does not roll and stall

In most cases, replacing various VAZ 2110 sensors does not require special equipment and professional skills. The process of replacing most of the sensors is a fairly simple procedure and may well be carried out by the car owner with his own hands

An abrupt change in engine speed is probably the most common problem with an internal combustion engine. There are several reasons contributing to this problem. Let's take a closer look at them. After several years of car operation, a problem such as floating revs is often encountered

The throttle valve is designed to regulate the incoming air flow, which ensures a sufficient volume of the combustible mixture. This is a part of the car that does not require much attention to itself, but sometimes it gets dirty. The pollution is caused by oil dust

The idle air control valve (idle air valve) maintains idle speed regardless of changes in engine load. If the idle speed drops below 750 rpm, the electric valve begins to supply some air bypassing the throttle valve, thereby increasing the speed

The throttle position sensor (TPS) is installed opposite the throttle valve control lever and is designed to determine the opening angle of the throttle and transmit information to the electronic engine control unit. The automatic transmission ECM also uses the output from this sensor

A malfunction of the oxygen sensor or lambda probe is indicated by the following symptoms during vehicle operation - frequent jerks, uneven engine operation or jerking, increased fuel consumption, exceeding toxicity standards, and premature catalyst failure

It often happens that a driver at a gas station accidentally drives up to the wrong dispenser and pours gasoline into the tank instead of the required diesel. If you then start the engine, it will damage the engine and subsequent expensive repairs

Confusing fuel when refueling a car and pouring gasoline instead of diesel is quite easy. The tanker confused, changed the car and were not used to a different fuel - there are quite a few reasons why such a situation occurred. The question immediately arises:

A leaking gas tank on a car or motorcycle is an urgent problem that must be eliminated in time. It is not always possible to completely replace the tank, small cracks and holes can be temporarily closed in one of the following ways. Necessary - laundry soap

Cleaning the gas tank is necessary in order to get rid of rust and other harmful deposits that accumulate inside during the operation of the car. Instructions Step 1 Drive the vehicle into the inspection pit, or lift it up with jacks and then secure it to stands

The bearing is an indispensable element of any movable structure. It is part of the support or stop that supports the shaft, the axle with the required rigidity. As its name suggests, a wheel bearing is part of a hub, a disc used to secure a car wheel to an axle

Often, in accidents, the bumper suffers, both front and rear. Cracks, splinters - all this can be easily corrected if the soldering is performed correctly and efficiently, and then further processing of the bumper. Instructions Step 1 Unscrew and remove the bumper
