Danger, If The Car Chassis Repairs by Heating!

High priority! That thing is a priority in the post-change occurs tabrakkan components on your vehicle. Factor becomes the most important because it deals with something that is priceless, life!
The world's car manufacturers would have designed the vehicle to the maximum to protect the driver and passengers when the accident occurred on the road. One of the most fundamental thing is the car chassis. The main framework is a major component of the support that keeps the car still functioning normally.

Vehicle chassis is designed to measure the maximum level of security. So, if observed, there are some holes in the chassis, cracks and folds in some parts that are created not only as a supporting framework of tens of thousands of components that are divided into several parts, namely body (exterior), legs (suspension), machinery, and cabin space (interior).

Well, when the car crashed and damaged the chassis and then taken to a public workshop. "A lot of public workshops in repairing a car chassis using heating techniques. This way is very dangerous, because it reduces the strength and elasticity of steel to 40 percent".

Broken chassis (already bent, let alone to crack), should be replaced by new so do not reduce the level of safety. One of the most important, human beings can only minimize the risk of accidents happening at the worst, stay alert and be careful on the road!

Tips to keep the Cool Temperature of the Car Cabin

Summer can make the temperature inside the car cabin and people would not stand for long to berkemudi. Plus the greenhouse effect which makes the air temperature in the increasingly hot.
To maintain comfort while traveling in the summer, there are some things to watch out for your stay enjoyable driving experience.

Here are tips for car cabin temperature to stay cool:

1. Parking in the shade

In this way certainly makes the car out of harm's heat radiation and ultraviolet light attack. Avoid parking in direct sunlight. It can also reduce air conditioning use is high spin when the car is first turned on.

2. Go a little glass

This helps keep the air flow inside the car without having to open up when they wanted to get into a car that was just sunburned. Opening the little glass means no storing heat in the cabin.

3. The use of window film

Window film can adjust the intensity of heat and ultraviolet rays from the interior of your car. Choose a good brand that provides protection from the sun's heat. And notice the dark window film.

4. Turn on air conditioning to maximum

This method is used when the driver does not park in the shade. As I turn on the AC, open also to replace the windshield heat to the cooler air.

5. Protect your glass

Buy a windshield visor to minimize excess heat that goes into the dashboard and front seats. Shades of dark cabin, also can absorb more heat. Use a brightly colored cloth to protect the dashboard and steering wheel.

6. Electrostatic Paper

This is a thin sheet of paper attached to the glass and repel solar heat and ultraviolet radiation without interfering with the visibility of the glass. Electrostatic paper does not close the window but it makes a difference perspective.

7. Windshield protective roll paper

Paper rolls or folded paper usually used to block the heat from the front. This tool is effective in reducing the heat that comes into the cabin when parked directly opposite the sun.

8. Use a quality leather upholstery

Gloves or low-quality leather upholstery is unable to absorb the sun's heat quickly. Temporal seats with synthetic materials will absorb more heat so that the cabin remains cool.

9. Do not leave items in the car

The heat from the sun will affect the taste of food and the safety of other electronic goods. Be sure to not let the Compact Disc (CD) and toys in the car with a long term parking.

10. Check the coolant

When the car hit by direct heat, then the engine will heat faster. Add coolant when the coolant level shows a lack of coolant.

Tips: Slide Door Care

Note the condition of the rails. Caring for the sliding door is fairly simple, but by no means be underestimated. One reason for selecting manufacturing sliding doors (sliding door) to MPV which they make is easy access to the cabin. The mechanism of the door itself, can be electrically or manually. The door has a series of components that are not as complicated machine. However, as usage and age, these devices also need to be treated.

The important thing is to maintain cleanliness and bearing rails. From some of the complaints, the main cause comes from the breakdown of the door because of conditions that are less clean, so rusty. Basically, the doors are designed for low maintenance. Therefore, treatment is fairly easy and can be done alone.

For that, for those who have cars with sliding doors (for example the Hyundai H-1), the following guidelines can keep the doors remain prime conditions. Also provide cleaning fluid, grease, and rags.


  1. Note the condition of the rails. Use a clean cloth that has been sprayed cleaning fluid (lubricant spray) to remove impurities and residual lubricant.
  2. After the rails cleaned, basting with fat rails (lubricating pastes) containing paraffin (avoid fat-containing oil because it will facilitate dust).
  3. Forward backing the door a few moments. When the door sounded noisy, then the bearing is less lubrication.
  4. Clean up all bearing contact with the rails.
  5. Mechanism of the sliding door is designed to be easily closed shortly after the handle is operated. So, do not take much energy to move it. If it is too often slam the hook mechanism could be short-lived.
I hope the above tips can be useful for those of you who own a car with sliding doors.

Tips After Long Journey: Notice Suspension and Tires

Holiday season is over. The car that had just worn a vacation or a Turing, as well as humans, of course, need to be rechecked his health. This relates to the age of cars, routes traveled, and the path traversed.

There are two parts that must be considered after a car journey away. First, the condition of the legs which include suspension and wheel alignment. Secondly, about the condition of the tires. For perhaps a long journey, car tires will be the lack of wind, plus the length of travel time and distance that long, it's possible to change the wheel alignment.
As for the other is the automobile mileage and age. For the car approximately a relatively young age, or less than 3 years, and a distance of about 500 km, then check the condition of those two things (the legs and the tires) is absolutely necessary. he added. For perjalananan more than 500 km or even up to 1,000 miles, need two more fragments examined, the brakes and transmission oil.

To look at the car wheel alignment, is easy enough, ie run the car from low speed to high. If there is a vibration in the steering wheel at certain speeds, which is then lost, then shake again, then the front or rear wheel needs to be balance.

Note also when you run the car slowly and straighten the steering wheel. Note the direction of the car. If the speed is "staggered" to the left or right, then you should have in spooring front wheel. This process will align the front wheels back foot distance to the car's speed is not skewed to the left or right. Still in a state car is running, when a low speed, slowly move the steering wheel. If feels loose, then the gear rack pinion or worm gear (worm gear) is worn.

Then, notice tread wear. If you find a tread wear is uneven, meaning that there are two possible things that occur during use. First, due to the tire pressure is reduced and secondly because they decrease the performance of the suspension.


Next is to check the condition of the engine. Do the same as when you prepare the vehicle for long trips. But this time, give extra attention to the condition of the water radiator. Usually there is a change in the color of water in the radiator if the car has been running away. Machine workload and duration of the trip will change the color of the water radiator. Instead, drain and replace water in the radiator to maintain optimum fencing, especially if it turns out the radiator water becomes turbid.

Still associated with the "fluid" car, note the condition of brake fluid. Generally, in a long journey, the driver often make sudden braking or holding the brake pedal when the road uphill and down. This will make the brakes work harder, thus affecting the condition of brake fluid. Add brake fluid if it is less than the maximum level. Replace brake fluid if it feels or looks foamy liquid.

Also check the condition of transmission lubricants, especially for automatic transmission cars. The trick, put the transmission in park (P), start the engine several times. After turning off the engine, remove the dipstick (stalk measuring the quantity and quality of oil) to block transmission and note the color. Thin red transmission oil while still new, then turn pink (oxidized metal oil signs), and pale yellow (sign of oil had to be replaced).

Lastly, wash your car, do not hesitate to look under the section to make sure everything is clean. Dirt can corrode if the sediment is too old or not rinsed properly.


Do this after you do a long trip with your vehicle, so that your car is always in a good condition for use.
