The development of the automobile industry has allowed more and more affordable models to appear in the automobile market, which also allows the car to finally get rid of its own "luxury" name, and truly enter thousands of households, whether it is urban residents or rural residents can afford to buy a private car as their means of transportation. However, buying a car is not a hammer deal, and many car owners have found that the cost of buying a car itself may not be nothing, but the insurance, maintenance, refueling and repair costs after buying a car can definitely make many people feel headaches.
Some car owners whose economic conditions are not very good or whose demand for cars is not high, but who are hindered by face problems, sometimes park their cars in parking spaces for a long time and do not use them in order to save car maintenance costs. However, it is worth noting that although there is no need to pay for fuel and maintenance of the car, it does not have the effect of saving money overall.
As the saying goes, a car is not driven badly, but badly released. As a mechanical product, the car has not been started for a long time, which will naturally cause the internal parts to age or rust, so putting the car on the parking space for a long time without starting is an act of hurting the car. To put it simply, the problems with this "zombie car" are actually the same as the unsalable stock cars in the car dealership.
The harm of not opening for a long time
First, the tire is out of round
For those cars that drive on the road every day, because the tires are spinning all the time, the gravity of the car does not have much effect on the tires. However, if a car that has not been started for a long time, because its tires are in contact with the ground for a long time, the gravity of the car is all concentrated on a certain part of the tire, and after a long time, there will be a risk of tire aging, cracking and loss of roundness, and it is very easy to burst tires when walking on the road.
Second, the oil aging
For fuel vehicles, of course, it is indispensable to all kinds of oil inside the car, especially the oil that can protect the engine. However, due to the long-term exposure of these oils to air, they are easily affected by air and oxidized, and various precipitation and deterioration occur. This already severely aged fluid not only loses its original role in protecting the engine, but also increases the loss of the engine when the engine starts, and even makes the pull cylinder scrapped.
Third, the line damage
I don't know how many car owners have noticed, but the hood of the car seems to be particularly attractive to small animals. Especially in the winter, some smaller animals such as rats will simply settle under the hood of the car, destroying the car's circuit system, and when the owner finally starts the car, it is easy to encounter the situation of electronic circuit fire.
In addition, there are some car owners whose parking spaces are above-ground parking spaces, or simply park their cars on the side of the road. For such a car, long-term wind and sun will accelerate the aging of the paint and rubber seals on the surface of the car, rain will also damp the electronic components inside the car, and sand and gravel will also cause the car's heat dissipation device and drainage hole to be blocked. Such a car does not open well, and it is easy to have various failures when starting, which eventually leads to traffic accidents.
In general, a family car in the case of a short period of parking will not have much impact on the car, but once this time exceeds a month, it is a kind of damage to the car, and more than two months will cause irreversible damage. Even during this month, the owner should start the car once a week and drive out for a spin to ensure that the parts of the car can function properly.
