Mood crisis such as now, making many people re-think how to save money if you want to spend anything. For car owners, the thing that makes surprise was the high prices of auto parts. Until now, the rising prices of spare parts has reached 2.5 times higher than pre-crisis prices. Repair the damaged car in the garage, now need to ask first. If not, do not be surprised if you will be surprised and hurt, not ready to membayarnya.Belakangan widely expressed, petroleum will rise. And if fuel goes up, then travel costs go up, too. So, very wise to keep the car from now on so it does not cost much more. Or, if you want to repair and need replacement parts, can find the most economical way possible.

The following points may help you address the situation that is happening. Of course, a very thoughtful treatment. Preparing a car that is not wasteful of fuel, look for alternative parts whose quality is good but less expensive and so on.

In addition, another important thing to note is how to drive. More patient and careful, it could reduce the risk of unwanted. In the event of accident or bump another car, you certainly do not cost very little. Moreover, the cost of painting is now very expensive. Price of the paint used to Rp 25,000 per liter, can now be more than

Rp 250,000 per liter.

Fuel-efficient

Normally car owners who do not understand the intricacies of the vehicle, can only complain that the extravagant cars, the engine is less tasty and so on. The characteristics of the engine underpowered, ngoyo, ngelithik, and heat, usually associated with a machine that is less wrong, inefficient, and wasteful of fuel. So car owners are generally advised to take the menu Tune Up machine. This menu is effective for cars that use carburetors, but not so for a car that already uses EFI, MPI, and so forth.

Turned out to tune up the old machines like the set of valves, set of platinum, sets the carburetor is no longer necessary on tech cars without a carburetor. Not much can be done on these cars. Plugs were cleaned and replaced at 50,000 to 100,000 km. In other words, the less work done on the car without a carburetor. The cars with the advanced technology it is now fairly maintained with more frequent cleaning air filter, replace fuel filter (no lead) and oil filter change every 10,000 km.

However those machines should also have regular maintenance and occasional checked with the test equipment. Easy as anything in the way of maintenance EFI car, or cars that still use carburetors, tune up process should be supported by adequate equipment. For car owners berkarburator, reliability engineers who use the old feeling, still can help. Although he was a comfortable car, but it took me much longer. Whereas when using a tool such as, tune up tester, gas analyzer makes the job even intelligent tester to tune up more quickly and accurately.

The third tester is truly a staple of equipment to create optimum engine performance. Fuel-efficient cars are always showing low CO. Low CO is one indicator of optimal engine performance, and it can only be known after the use of test equipment exhaust emissions that are placed in car exhaust. CO has been shown that low-fuel combustion and optimum air compared to other machines with higher CO. Indeed the content of CO, two to three percent per volume is high. Because CO-tech EFI car (less than one percent), Gasoline Direct Injection (0.5 percent / volume). Toyota Prius hybrid car is much lower, 0.05 percent / volume.

Then how can the technician determine levels of CO emissions are low, if the garage is not equipped with flue gas meter test. If not, you revert to tune up, find another shop that has a complete equipment. CBU cars in this country, are using technologies such as VVTL-I, V-tec and a variety of sensors that are used to enhance performance and comfort of the car. Exhaust emissions test kits are not enough, there must be intelligent-tester who is still a luxury item in the eyes of the technician.

Diesel fuel for diesel

Many people choose to buy a diesel car, for half the price of diesel fuel premium gasoline prices. Although less convenient, owners of diesel cars could save. Therefore, some diesel car owners pay less attention to the color of the exhaust gas, although in fact the color of black exhaust indicates the engine is wasteful, and if in-tune up the engine can be more efficient and powerful. By replacing the air filter is new, this could be overcome, unless the condition of the car was terrible.

There are three reasons why wasteful or efficient cars. The first impact or wasteful driver can save between 10-15 percent. Second, the prime condition of the engine exhaust tip is marked gray and drove the car lighter. Third, the tools they increase the comfort of the driver and passengers such as power steering and air conditioning, a direct burden on the machine that could take to raise the level of fuel consumption to 15 percent.

Driver

Driving behavior that is running the car in a hurry, not only uncomfortable for the passengers but also wastes fuel. For example, like stepping on the gas pedal until exhausted and then braked suddenly. How to drive like this certainly makes more wasteful of fuel.

Not long ago the writer tried to Deer EFI from Semarang-Solo pp. Departing from Semarang to drive a car using public transport drivers in pursuit of the deposit, so that the engine RPM is always showing the numbers above 3,500. Return of used a more relaxed and always below 3500 RPM. The results of this testing is very impressive. Time to go, one liter of petrol only to travel 7.8 miles. When he returned home, one liter of gasoline could reach 11.8 miles.

Besides being more secure in transit, the operation of the car in a relaxed produce sizable fuel savings.

If the gear wheel apart relationship so be careful in running the vehicle. Usually the release of the relationship between the gear wheels are common at the time of acceleration, braking or gas pedal is released suddenly. Moreover, vibration, shock and poor road conditions can aggravate the situation. The following is the main cause of the escape wheel gears relationship:

• Wear and tear / errors in setting the gears in the transfer system.

• Wear and tear / change the shape of the wheel fork shifting gears.

• Locking gear shifting fork shaft is less than perfect.

• Wear and tear on the teeth of gears and gear teeth axle gears.

• The occurrence of damage to the pads.

Actions you need to do while driving is: hold the gear shaft to prevent loss of connection gears and gear wheels are not moving to a neutral position. Therefore do not delay to bring your vehicle to the garage subscription.

There are many things to watch out for when it rains, including when you drive down the highway standing water on the road. Here we remind you to always be careful:

1. Note the air inlet on your car if you go through a flooded street. Do not force yourself to go through a puddle of water whose height exceeds the height of the air inlet. In the sedan cars in general are behind the headlights, while on minibuses located on the fender.

2. If you are stuck flooding and standing water remains below the hole and air channel ignition system then you do not need to turn off the engine exhaust while submerged. Exhaust gas pressure will block the water entering the exhaust. If the engine exhaust even death had no pressure so the water would immediately break into. Just run the car slowly in high rotation at the lowest transmission gear position with a stable.

3. When driving on wet roads, you should reduce speed. The road is wet it will likely happen is the formation of a layer Aquaplanning triangle between the tire and the road surface. This will make the car lose traction and braking ability.

4. If you are driving in the rain accompanied by lightning darting you should turn off the car radio. Some of the components inside the car radio is very susceptible terhadapa lightning disturbances.

5. If the wiper eraser glass jam or run out of water when you are in the middle of the road when it rains. Try to trick an emergency. Look for a shop and buy a dab of soap. Apply soap lengthwise on the top edge of the windshield. Chemicals in the soap will make direct rain water slipping down so that you avoid the frosted glass.

6. After passing the flood, it is important to check the brakes. Brake components are submerged in water can cause rust and cause damage.

Towards the dry season, the rain came down erratically. The result can be instantly soaked car and as soon as it's too dry. And sometimes creaked when the brake was activated in the two conditions.

Most consumers are very concerned about the advent of sound. But the sound is actually not all that there is a corresponding damage to the car brakes.

Brake noise can arise because of the canvas.

However there are so sound that indicates the car's brakes would need to get treatment or even replacement. Here are some causes of brake noise that can be used as a benchmark. Also need to know the pros and cons when you use genuine or counterfeit products that are generally sold at lower prices ..

The sound is fairly normal

Otherwise normal creaked when the noise only appears when applying the brakes gently. But it was not issued any noise when the brake is pressed suddenly.

Sound appears fairly normal, mostly because of the brake pad that is now being traded is the type of semi-metallic. And usually is used for front-wheel drive cars (front wheel drive) and minivans.

Sounds suspicious

Berdenyitnya brake noise that occurs at any time the component is enabled. Generally the sound is accompanied by a vibration in the pedal when the driver hit the brakes.

If this happens immediately recommended him to the garage. Damage that causes symptoms like this can happen on the canvas, rotors and calipers. Usually the replacement of components must be accompanied by the service brakes on the other.

Replace the original component

It is recommended to replace the canvas and the original brake pad for your car. Brake pad and the break is made from superior quality just is not very hard. But also not too soft. These components are made rather soft sangaja braking process that goes up with a canvas or a pad that is designed more quickly exhausted.

On the less good quality product, made of very hard material, so that will make the drum (drum) or dish (dish) brake easily scratched. Such damage would make the brake circuit is not working optimally.

Avoid drum and disk repair

Most of the workshop suggested to re-lathe (leveled) drum or disc brakes in the event of the basin or scratches. In theory this could have been running as normal. Especially when turning just a little effort to flatten the curvature or scratches on this component.

But in fact this activity made the drum or disc brakes easily after undergoing turning it brittle. For the flattening process requires high heat also cause it to become brittle components.

The results of the turning or resurfacing eat too much 'meat' of components can also make a drum or disc rupture when activated at the next opportunity.

This activity is only recommended for emergencies. Immediately replace the drum or disc brakes with new products at the next opportunity.
