Advertising in Zen To understand all the reasons for this phenomenon, you do not need to be an auto expert. Just keep an eye on your car.<\/p>\n

\"Body<\/a><\/p>\n

First of all – battery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A dead battery is one of the most common causes of “frozen” cars right in the parking lot. If the starter does not turn, but the ignition works, look for a neighbor with starting wires.<\/p>\n

Lighting up a car is not difficult, but there are some peculiarities: first we put the cars side by side, then turn off the engines. With a red wire, first we connect the “plus” on the donor and the plus on the dead battery, minus with a black wire to ground. We wait three minutes and start the donor car.<\/p>\n

Bad contacts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dirt and salt from the road often gets on the battery terminals. Because of this, they often oxidize and prevent the alternator from charging the battery normally. Oxidized contacts can be avoided by using special plastic plugs put on the battery contacts.<\/p>\n

If oxidation has already occurred, you can take sandpaper or “re-crimp” the terminals from an electrician at the nearest car service.<\/p>\n

Faulty starter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If the car is more than five years old, and there have been problems with starting before, you need to “turn” the starter especially carefully. When cranking for a long time, the starter starts to get very hot. Because of this, the solenoid relay may break or the varnish of the anchor winding will melt. In addition, a worn collector and anchor brushes can lead to a trip to a car service.<\/p>\n

bad wires<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The older the car, the more often it looks under the hood. Sometimes craftsmen manage to damage high-voltage starting wires or an ignition module. A small mechanical impact is enough to leave for a car service in severe frost – at negative temperatures, the wires conduct the starting current to the candles worse.<\/p>\n

Broken timing belt<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first sign of this malfunction is easy scrolling by the starter. After the first symptoms, it is better to inspect the belt and make sure it is intact. If it is torn, it is better to order a spare part and change it right in the parking lot. Otherwise, you can “come” to repair the engine or replace it<\/p>\n

\"Body<\/a><\/p>\n

Clogged exhaust pipe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Does the car crank, start, but stall? Let's look at the exhaust system. Every car, after starting, evaporates condensate – water that drains from the exhaust pipe. From frequent warm-ups at autostart, an ice crust can form, which clogs the outlet of exhaust gases and returns them back to the manifold. There is a sharp pressure drop, and the car stalls.<\/p>\n

Thickened oil<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Didn't have time to change summer oil to winter oil, and it's already -25 outside? Well, the car needs to be warmed up in the service or at the sink. You can order the service of “warming up” cars right on the spot, but the exotic method of revitalization, on which some build a profitable business, will cost a pretty penny – the arrival of the “resuscitation” group for a car will cost about three to five thousand conventional units.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
