How To

How to properly diagnose your car for repair

The symptoms of your vehicle are the first thing you need to look at in order to determine whether it is in dire need of repairs. These steps will help you diagnose your car properly.

  1. Check engine lights. Check the dashboard light indicators such as the engine light indicator, the oil pressure gauge, the battery light indicator, the coolant temperature gauge, and the RPM gauge. If they have been flashing for more days than usual, it could be a sign that something is wrong with the vehicle.
  2. Take a look at the treads. Tires with worn treads could cause problems when handling or braking. You should inspect the treads on your wheel. They should look clean and be smooth. To do this, remove the wheels and take them out. Check the tread condition with a flashlight.
  3. Check the level of brake fluid. You must keep track on the level of brake fluid in your vehicle. This ensures that your brakes work properly. If the brake fluid level is low, your brakes might fail when you apply pressure to them.
  4. You should test the suspension system. It is common for vehicles to have a suspension system which absorbs shocks or vibrations. It provides better control and allows smoother acceleration and deceleration. You might notice a wobbly feeling or uncontrollable shaking in your vehicle if it has a problem with its suspension. To test whether your vehicle has a suspension issue, try putting weight on the front or rear axle and observe the movement.
  5. Examine the steering column. The steering columns are what connect the steering knob to the rest. Steering columns can be damaged by accidents. Replace it if your steering column feels loose or unsteady.
  6. Observe the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipes are responsible for moving gases from the combustion chamber into the atmosphere. Exhaust pipes that are cracked or leaking can allow harmful fumes to enter your cabin. Also, if your tailpipe is bent, you should fix it immediately.
  7. Take a look under your hood. Look underneath your hood to see if anything looks strange. There could be fluid leaking from your engine. If you smell something strange coming from your engine compartment you should call a professional technician.
  8. It is important to inspect the air filter. The outside environment collects dust and other particles in the vehicle's filter. Dirty air filters can cause your vehicle to run poorly. Replace your air filter regularly.
  9. Check the fan belt. Your vehicle's fanbel connects the engine and transmission. The engine will not turn if the fan belt breaks. It is easy to replace the belt. All you need to replace the belt is a screwdriver with pliers.
  10. The radiator hose and hoses should be checked. The radiator hose carries water from the radiator to the engine. If the hose becomes damaged or cracked, hot liquid can be emitted onto the engine. To repair the hose, you will only need to use a pair needle-nosepliers and a wire brush.
  11. The windshield wipers should be checked. Windshield wipers use electricity to clean away snow and rain. If they stop working, streaks could be left on your glass. The solution is to change the washer fluid.
  12. You should inspect the cables. The batteries provide power to the electrical systems within your car. If you are replacing batteries, disconnect the negative cord first. Failure to do so can damage your alternator.
  13. Make sure your headlights are working properly. Headlights illuminate the road ahead of you. They can make it difficult to see if they stop working. Check the bulbs to see if they've burned out.
  14. Always check your lights. When you approach them at night, the lights warn other drivers. One that doesn't work could cause you to be distracted, and possibly lead to an injury.
  15. Check your brakes. Before you collide with another vehicle, brakes will slow down the car. If your brakes aren't working properly, you may lose control and crash into other cars.
  16. Change your oil. Your engine will stay lubricated by the oil. It helps keep metal parts from getting too worn down. It is recommended that the oil be changed every other month.
