Tips and Tricks



To bought the machine does not become your headache and razoritelnitsey family budget, should be attributed to its acquisition with the utmost seriousness and responsibility, not sparing neither time nor money.

First of all, understand what you want. If you need comfort, buy a luxury car, and if you want to have money invested material expression, buy American "cruiser", the more that the price does not scare you, and great fuel consumption will be offset by low operating costs. If you are a lover of long trips and family vacations in the lap of nature, touring - what you need, and, believe me, your choice will not disappoint you. It is comfortable, roomy and modern.

Opt the best car of the middle class with a body type "LX" / "GL", they are well equipped and are in demand, but not touched and do not lay out more money for a variety of additional equipment that is really valuable only power steering hatch roof. The automatic transmission may cause reduction in the price at resale, especially in small cars.

So, you have decided on the model. Now, slowly, begin to check the car.

First of all, carefully read the registration documents: how many owners are the same whether the registration and vehicle identification number with the numbers in the documents? According to his passport the car, make sure that inspections were carried out and it is marked by a guarantee seals. Check the authenticity Identification Number Plate (bent ends of plates and rivets new and clean - a signal that not everything is in order, and it is better to refuse further examination). If all goes well, feel free to go ahead and start the external examination.

Inspect the car in the daylight, not in a garage or showroom, so you'll notice a lot of differences in color shades.

The main question - whether the car was in an accident? If it is at all four qualitative wheels, there is no ill-fitting panels, different shades of paint and traces of putty, the spars are not bent, centering bumper and headlights is not broken, there are no traces of the old license plate, then the car to avoid an accident, and repairs were not previously produced.

If you otognete sealing windows and compare the color with the color underneath the car, then you will know whether the car repainted. Note also traces of paint under the arches, doors, suspension parts.

Painting of the wiring and hoses in the engine compartment body color - a sign of negligent repair.

The fact that the car looked after, you will say fluid and clean engine oil filled in the level.

Such minor details as protectors worn or bent discs are fairly expensive the replacement cost.

It is easy to give themselves sagging seats in the cabin, worn carpets and upholstery, squeak, rattle and strange smells, rust and dampness in the trunk. All this - the signs of a long life, and get rid of them quite expensive.

Do not forget to check the operation of the central locking, fog lights, electric windows. Expensive repairs trifles you to anything.

Swung the wheel in a vertical plane and having considered the pattern of wear on each tire, you check the wear of the bearing wheels and learn a lot about the state of suspension and steering system.

Push the car from every angle. So you have verified that the shock absorbers and stability of the vehicle on all four wheels, especially if it is equipped with a wagon towing device or machine.

After a visual inspection proceed to the verification of basic mechanisms.

Engine

When the engine is cold, check the automatic choke and start the engine with fuel injection. Any engine, including diesel, should not make a noise and quickly moves to the smooth running.

When the engine is hot, moving at low speed with high transmission, check the wear of the crankshaft and bearings. Rumble should not be. Check the wear on the surface of the cylinders and valves, operating the throttle. If you see a blue smoke - requires serious engine repair, black smoke - a sign of deterioration problems with injectors and fuel mixture.

The temperature sensor must operate reliably under any conditions change (for example, during idling). Do not forget to make sure that the fan is switched off in time.

After warming up the engine should run quietly and smoothly, even diesel. Light tapping indicate wear or valve operating camshaft. With hot, idling the engine, remove the filler cap and check the oil smoke and soot. Also check for leaks. Oil pressure warning light should not normally burn. If not, it indicates a deterioration of a crank mechanism or an oil pump.

Transmission

First, check the clutch. Try to get under way in high gear with the handbrake firmly delivered. The engine should stall immediately. Then check capture clutch. If it occurs at the end of pedal travel, it shows the wear of the clutch.

Shift the transmission to be sure, and the gearbox is to be quiet.

Automation should work smoothly and very precisely: if the gearbox does not want to continuously switch up, then it is likely wear or poor adjustment. Check the operating switch from normal to sport mode. Transmissions on the all-wheel drive vehicles when driving should work especially smoothly, although some models you should expect a "sagging". Check the oil level in the automatic transmission. If it is low or box completely dry, we advise you to discontinue further examination of this machine. Repair of automatic transmissions is laborious and expensive.

Be sure to drive at least 30 km on different roads to identify all deficiencies car.

Be careful: if the car wags or leaves aside, at best - it's the wrong collapse of convergence, at worst - a bent suspension parts and steering.

Checking for backlash, shake a wheel in hand. If you have power steering do not forget to make sure that it is reliable at different speeds and loads. On machines with front-wheel drive, remove the steering wheel to its maximum angle to check the degree of wear of the ball constant velocity, which is determined by klatsat sound.

The roar or swimming indicate wear of shock absorbers and springs. Check electronically adjusts the shock absorbers to the different modes.

Carefully check the brakes at different efforts. If a machine goes away, then it may be sticky caliper. Wear discs indicates walking pushes the pedal. Also check anti-lock brakes (at movement indicator lamp shall not light, but when you start - on the contrary).

After checking his chosen way, think carefully whether your impressions specified mileage and, after weighing all the "pros" and "cons" to decide. Qualified conscious choice - a guarantee that the car will be your helper and friend.

A few tips ...

Once all the manuals for the purchase of machinery indicated that tire wear is a good indicator of a pedal value of a run. Nowadays this defect is too well known to trust him, because rubber pedals easily changed.

Upholstery in modern cars are much more durable than the established ten years ago, but still the driver wears out first. Examine the outer edge (he rubs when the driver goes in and out of the car) - it is for him to determine the age of the car.

Check the operation and status of all lamps and other electrical devices. Especially important are the cracked lens range - some of them can be very expensive.

Condition the tire is a good indicator of run - claimed 40,000 km with unpaired tires cause a strong suspicion! One can also consider the cost of replacement, especially in the case of low-profile tires and other special.

With the driver check the operation of instruments and controls - loose handles, as well as the smooth surface of the steering wheel rim, indicate high mileage.
