How you mistreat your car without realizing it

In addition to regular inspections, cleaning, and checking levels and pressures, certain everyday behaviors that many drivers unknowingly engage in can cause damage to the vehicle. among them, one of the most important, that of maximizing the fuel level.

The fuel delivery system consists of four components: tank, fuel pump and filter, and injectors. The fuel pump will have to work harder to suck up the fuel. The diesel or gasoline cools the pump as it passes through it, so low fuel levels can form air bubbles, preventing proper cooling and increasing the likelihood of a breakdown or breakdown, according to the experts at Reparatucoche.com.

Another mishandled element is the suspensions, because often, because of the crowds or simply because the speed bumps and potholes in the road are not seen, we often go over them at too high a speed.

The suspension of our vehicle consists of shock absorbers and springs. But there is also another very important part for the suspension to be effective, the silentblocks.

This piece forms a connection between the suspension elements and the car. It has a rubber or rubber inside and in the event that this rubber should break, it would cause slack and noise in the vehicle, so it will be necessary to go to a workshop. It is a piece that can be easily damaged and the change usually does not take much time, but it implies an alignment of the steering, as work on the suspension and steering requires restoring the dimensions specified by the manufacturer.

Speed ​​bumps and bumps can also cause steering problems. You should also be careful and turn the steering wheel while the car is in motion and without stepping on the brakes. This makes the wheels turn more easily and you reduce the effort. It is important not to go all the way to the steering stop, otherwise you will hear a noise and see a stream of red oil coming out of one side due to a power steering failure.

The gear lever is used on many occasions as a comfort element, in which the right hand or arm rests. In addition to being a risk while driving, as both hands must be placed correctly on the handlebars, this behavior can cause slack when shifting.

Whether the change is manual or automatic, you should avoid driving in neutral, especially on descents.

In the automatic gearbox, when you drive in neutral (put the gear lever in N or neutral), the problem would not be generated, but the problem exists when you put the lever in gear D. This gear is made to perform this step while stationary, not circulating, for example, at 80 or 100 km/h.

In the manual transmission, if the vehicle has a high speed when you put neutral and then go back to the speed you think it should be, you could make a mistake and put a totally different gear, which could cause a major malfunction in the transmission, gearbox.
