Every driver knows that when a vehicle reaches a certain mileage, you should take your car to a dealership to browse, shop or place authorized to perform certain checks. The problem is that many forget, exposing themselves and other agents of the way to having a traffic accident caused by mechanical failure or pay large sums of money to fix parts that could be changed in advance.
And is that with the passage of a vehicle inevitably comes wear and tear of parts: wheels, brakes, engine and others are losing quality and effectiveness over Fall Time. The goal is to do your maintenance on time, this will prevent further damage because of wear pursue a preventive check-up every day or every so often reviewing those elements of the active and passive vehicle safety system including brakes , cooling system , electrical system, suspension, and tires.
This maintenance is commonly performed at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100 thousand kilometers and should be performed as follows
At 5000 miles the following systems of a vehicle must be checked:
- Change engine oil, air filter and oil filter (this should be done in every review).
- Check tire inflation pressure and wear on the tread (this should be done in every review).
- Check the tension of the clutch and engine belts.
- Perform inspection of lights and indicators board and idle speed.
- Completing the level of liquids of different cart systems (brakes, battery water, gearbox, etc..).
It is important to note that the brake fluid level must not drop below its maximum and its minimum, since this would imply that there is a leak and / or pasta brake wear. THE problem of complete reservoir fluid level is that the brakes would not know the wear of brake linings and pollute the fresh brake fluid as necessary repairs liquid can “overflow” are made out of the container and can damage hoses or smear the paint truck, also have corrosion on metal parts of the chassis and suspension.
At 10 thousand miles is reviewed:
- Dash lights and indicators, low speed gear, electrical system in general. (Includes functioning alternator and starter), oil leaks, condition of joints, ball joints and dust, intake system, engine pipes and hoses.
- Complete the liquid level: brakes, battery water, hydraulic, differential and gearbox.
- Alignment and Balancing.
- And washing the vehicle, engine sucked.
- Check the power and effectiveness of the parking brake or parking brake and the pedal.
- Spinning the Wheel (this should be done in each maintenance). The recommendation is that the rotation will complement alignment and balancing should be done every 10,000 miles or every 6 months.
- Check the vehicle lights.
- Check the condition of the electrical system in general (including the alternator and starter), oil leaks, condition of joints, ball joints and dust, intake, pipes and hoses. Repeat this fix at 20, 30 thousand and 100 thousand kilometers.
- Contents of new alignment and balancing.
At 20 thousand miles:
- Dash lights and indicators, low speed running, general electrical system (including alternator and starter operation).
- Oil Leaks.
- State of joints, ball joints and dust, intake system.
- State motor mounts and exhaust system support, pipes and hoses and engine condition and tension band brake.
- Important to the lubrication of bearings rear wheels.
- Complete the liquid level: brakes, battery water, hydraulic, differential and gearbox.
- The state of the electrical system.
- Complete the liquid level.
At 30 thousand miles:
- Change engine oil, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, brake pads, steering oil, transmission oil, gearbox oil and rear wings.
- Calibrate the inflation pressure and tire wear (depth), emergency brake and brake pedal.
- Tension Clutch and engine belts (A / C, Alternator and address, fan).
- Rotation of the wheels.
- Check brake pads and oil handling, transmission and gearbox.
- Check the power and effectiveness of the parking brake or parking.
- Check the parking brake or parking brake and the pedal.
- Perform easy alignment with two swings or double alignment with two swings.
- Grease the bearings in the rear wheels (repeat this procedure at 50 and 100 thousand kilometers).
At 40 thousand miles, you should do the following checks:
- Change engine oil, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, brake pads, clutch and brake fluid, spark plugs, cables high, belts (alternator, A / C, steering, fan) timing belts and coolant radiator.
- Calibrate tire inflation pressure and wear (depth).
- Tension Clutch and engine belts (A / C, Alternator and address, fan).
- Rotation of the wheels.
- Inspection panel lights and indicators, low speed running, general electrical system (including operating alternator and starter), oil leaks, state of joints, ball joints and dust, intake system, engine support and state support system exhaust pipes hoses and engine condition and tension band brake.
- Perform easy alignment with two swings or double alignment with two swings.
- Sync engine is injection or carburetor.
- Ask adjusting the suspension.
- Perform maintenance, cleaning and probing radiator (not recommended if change is made coolant).
At 50 thousand miles the following systems must be checked:
- Change to engine oil, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, brake pads, brake and clutch fluid, spark plugs, coolant radiator, steering oil, transmission oil, gearbox oil, hind wings.
- Calibrate tire inflation pressure and wear (depth).
- Tension Clutch and engine belts (A / C, Alternator and address, fan).
- Rotation of the wheels.
- Inspection panel lights and indicators, low speed running, general electrical system (including operating alternator and starter), oil leaks, state of joints, ball joints and dust, intake system, engine support and state support system exhaust pipes and engine hoses.
- Inspect the dashboard lights and gauges, high speed running, general electrical system (including operating alternator and starter), oil leaks, condition joints, ball joints and dust, intake system, and state motor mount bracket exhaust system pipes and hoses motor.
- Easy alignment with two swings or double alignment with two swings.
- Synchronization engine injection or carburetor.
- Adjusting the suspension.
Finally, at 100 thousand miles must make a final preventive maintenance. The following systems should be inspected:
- Perform easy alignment with two swings or double alignment with two swings.
- Making synchronization Motor 4 cylinder injection or carburetor.
- Make a final adjustment of the suspension.
- Change brake pads, brake and clutch fluid, spark plugs, cables high, belts, coolant, radiator, oil.
- When the vehicle exceeds 100 thousand miles or present faults can give you better check the efficiency of each of its parts. Consultation with an expert if you need extra assistance with the theme.
