Cars are accounting for an increasing proportion of our lives, like a second home that shelters the wind and rain. Some car owners do not understand the car, the car maintenance process is not scientific maintenance of the car, cleaning the car may cause some unnecessary damage, today we will talk about what precautions are required when washing the car.
There is a video online of a man using a crane to hoist a car into mid-air while washing his car, and then washing the surface of the car and the chassis with a water pipe. The owner of the car believes that his original 360-degree car wash can wash off all the dirt on the car, but he did not expect that many parts of the car were broken after washing.
The owner first washed away the dirt on the surface of the car with water, and washed the sediment in the gap in the rearview mirror window particularly clean. The owner then rinses the car's chassis with water and flushes the dirt from the crevices in the chassis. Owners think their car wash is particularly smart, cleaner than the car wash shop.
Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the engine of the car after washing the car, and the owner just started the vehicle dashboard to show the engine failure. The owner of the car can only send the car to the repair shop for inspection, and the repairman found that many parts of the car have entered the water, and it will take at least 3,000 to repair.
The owner of the car thought that washing the surface and chassis of the car with water would wash it cleaner, but he did not expect that he used the wrong way to wash the car, resulting in damage to many parts of the vehicle, and the engine was almost overhauled. The owner only wanted to save 20 yuan of car wash costs, but he did not expect to lose more than 3,000 in the end, which was really not worth the loss.
A few parts that it is best not to rinse when washing a car:
First, the air filter element and the air conditioning filter element
After a period of use of the car, the air filter and the air conditioning filter will become particularly dirty, and some owners are smart and want to remove the air filter and the air conditioning filter and rinse it with a high-pressure water gun.
The material of the air filter element and the air conditioning filter element is very fragile, and after the impact with a high-pressure water gun or gas, it will cause the original small holes to be washed up. After the small holes in the filter element are washed large, the filtration effect is lost, and the owner needs to replace the new filter element at his own expense.
Second, the engine compartment
When some car owners wash their cars by themselves, they always like to open the hood, flush the engine compartment with a water gun, and want to wash away all the sediment in the engine compartment. This practice is very dangerous, in case of water mixed in the oil, it will lead to poor performance and the failure to lubricate the engine.
There is a large number of circuit systems in the engine compartment, and if the high-pressure water gun damages the circuit and causes damage to the circuit, some parts in the car will not be able to work properly. There are also some exposed metal parts inside the parts, which may rust after being wet with water, affecting normal use.
Third, the car chassis
There is no big problem that the chassis is wet with water during the normal driving of the vehicle, as long as the rain does not pass through the center console of the car, the engine will not be damaged. If the owner washes the chassis with a high-pressure water gun, it will cause some parts of the chassis to enter the water, which will eventually cause the car to be damaged.
Editor's Comments:
Car washing seems simple, in fact, it is also a technical work, some car owners feel that the outside car wash shop charges too high, like to wash the car with a high-pressure water gun. It is best not to rub back and forth on the surface of the car with a rag, as small stones entrained on the rag may scratch the paint.
The owner only needs to use the high-pressure water gun to wash away the dirt and dirt on the surface of the car, there is no need to wash the above parts, in case the car is broken, it will not be worth the loss.
