Heavy clutch problem

Europe car user complaints we often hear is the weight of our favorite car clutch. Especially for women, driving pleasure to be annihilated when dealing with traffic congestion.



Some of the things offered in workshops specialist:

1. Modified clutch by shifting the point of the clutch cable hooks;
2. Modification clutch plate and the clutch cover with another product, local or imported, Rebuilt or new;
3. Modification of the clutch lever is located above the bottom of the gearbox. Lightweight? Indeed! Unfortunately, this modification (especially numbers 1 and 2 above) can easily result in clutch slippage, the lifetime of a relatively very short and also damage to the manual transmission syncromesh you!

Is there a complete solution? yes! Go to the authorized repair shop of your car and have them replace the clutch with a full set of Valeo products (OEM-Original Equipment Manufacturer) is mild.

Apart from this minor set of coupling, the formal workshop also provides a clutch cable that uses a layer of Teflon. Replacement of this type of cable will bring you more swayed in a light clutch your favorite European car that is no less than the light coupling of the Japanese cars of any brand.

Harmonic Balancer

Harmonic Balancer is the fancy name of the components that use rubber pulleys. Modern cars use a pulley wrapped in rubber. In modern cars, this thing known as the Crankshaft Pulley.




Why should the rubber?
To reduce the vibration that would interfere with driving comfort of our pet as well as serve to preserve the age range of engine components, transmissions and car body. The age of the crankshaft pulley on the type of STI 405, 605, 306 and 406 is approximately 50.000km maximum, whereas in
Type 505 GTi relatively longer age is about 100.000km. Ask your repair shop to replace it when your favorite car has reached a distance
take this, and do not send your repair shop to repair / modify it in ways that are less logical (eg, in-die welding).

Do not underestimate this one component, the rupture of rubber crankshaft pulley on a 306 type proved to cause the most damage requiring engine overhaul done. Metal components can kick back on the pulley toward the timing belt and resulted lompatnya so that the engine valves will collide with the piston engine!

How to turn on automobile and heating EFI MACHINE (Electronic Fuel Injection)

1. Turn the engine with the gas pedal is not stepped on a bit;

2. ECU (Electronic Control Unit) on a machine is still cold. EFI will automatically compensate for engine speed, engine speed where the height depending on outside air temperature. The colder the outside air, the higher the engine speed. So do not step on the gas pedal at all;





3. Engine speed will drop automatically. For the morning temperature, engine speed will drop usually within 5-10 seconds since engine life;

4. Start the vehicle slowly, do not suddenly accelerated or forced to rotate at high RPM or the RPM is too low. The range of 2000-3000 RPM is ideal for warming period this machine. Yes, you still need to warm up the engine, but instead of heating in a place like most people but warm up as we go along

heating auto machines

Basically, a well-maintained modern car machines only require heating in place within a very short time. Heating time at a place only about 10 seconds at temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius. If the air temperature is below that, the heating time may be added in place for about 10 seconds. Warming the engine about 2 s / d 3 minutes only required if the air temperature touching freezing aka 0 degrees Celsius or below it.





Heating in place of a lingering negative impact far more than its positive impact:
1. Contaminate the home environment;
2. Wasting gasoline ;
3. Engine requires a mixture of air and gasoline (Air Fuel Ratio or A / F Ratio) rich (rich) in the round of stationary / idle. 14,7:1 ideal mixture, known as lambdha = 1 is very difficult to achieve on the conditions of stationary lap / idle. The result is clear, rich mixture would accelerate the formation of carbon crust on the intake valve and combustion chamber of your favorite engine.

headlights

high beams

The main lights (headlight) is a vital component in a car or motorcycle, especially when driving at night. The quality of the generated light to illuminate the road affects the reflex response and the driver. Other constraints such as bad weather (heavy rain, thick fog) lowered work ability headlight.



The quality of a headlight illumination influenced several factors, among others:

- Design headlight unit (Reflectors / Lens projector)
- Electrification Systems.
- Quality / type of light (headlamp)

We can not do much to optimize the design Headlight Units, except to clean it when the headlight glass, reflector / projector lens looks dirty.

For the electrification system, we can optimize by adding a Set Relay system or headlight booster so that the power supplied to the lamp becomes large and the light becomes brighter. In addition, by adding a Set Relay system, it is possible to use the lamp power is greater.

headlights at night

To choose which type of lighting is good we use, we need to listen a little about the limitations of our eyes at night and during the day. Required lights that have at least a little bit of yellow light at night in order to see and react better when driving. That is why for the purposes of sport / rally, takes existing light yellow color content.

Have you ever forgotten to turn off the headlights? There are many cars that have not been equipped with an alarm reminder lamp (Headlight Reminder). Consequently when the time is quite long abandoned car, car battery voltage is decreased a lot and the car can not be in the starter. Fortunately for colleagues whose car was equipped Headlight Reminder, so when the door opened normally will sound the alarm / buzzer if lights dusk or main light (headlight) is still on.
