Excuse me, is private car often maintained? How often do you maintain it?

Everything has its life cycle, with birth and death and growth and decline; Cause, development, climax and ending are all life cycles of things. Any product also has a life cycle, which refers to the time that a product lasts from entering the market to being eliminated by the market. It reflects the changing process of product economic value in the market, also known as product market life cycle. Similarly, cars have a life cycle. Although cars are made of steel and have no flesh and blood, their life span and physical condition are similar to those of people, and they also have a "life cycle". So how do you divide the life cycle of a car? And no matter what brand of car it is, whether it is Japanese, American, European, Korean or domestic, it will encounter the problem of spare parts wear during use. Other parts of the car will also "die" because of long-term use, so what is the focus of maintenance in each period? I think this should be the concern of most car owners. The following is some relevant information collected by the author, hoping that friends with cars can provide some information to help.

First of all, the automobile life cycle is divided into the following stages.

Pentium period

The first two years of a car are the "Pentium period" of life, and some cars with less hard quality can only be used for about one year. Therefore, the manufacturer only promises a one-year warranty, because there will be no major quality problems in the first year of the new car.

Microsoft period

After two to four years of use, the car began to enter the "Microsoft period." At this time, some parts need to be replaced frequently. The first is the braking device. According to experience, the brake skin will wear out in about two years. Usually a car that is two or three years old must be replaced with a new brake "leather". At this time, the fuel pump of the car should be cleaned or replaced. Some cars with poor quality or "hard" use may have problems with shock absorbers during this period. If you find that the car is no longer running smoothly, you should go to the maintenance station to check the shock absorber of the car. If the spring of the shock absorber is no longer elastic, the car will shake badly when driving at high speed, especially when driving in rainy days.

menopause

After four to six years in the car, I entered the "menopause". Just as people like to lose their temper when they enter menopause, it is common for menopausal cars to have some problems, because many parts of the car are aging, and oil and water will leak from time to time, and small problems will emerge one after another. However, the cars of this period, if well maintained, are still "shiny and smooth" in appearance and still have the charm of "semi-old Xu Niang". Some savvy car owners began to change cars during this period, not only to sell their cars at a good price, but also to throw all the upcoming problems to others.

old age

After six to ten years of use, the car will enter its twilight years. Everything that can be broken is broken, and only those parts that have been changed are not broken. In the meantime, you must strengthen the maintenance of the car, replace the wearing parts regularly, check the condition of the car at the repair station or repair center from time to time, and do routine inspection and maintenance before and after leaving the car.

Dangerous period

After ten to fifteen years of use, cars are in a "dangerous period". To use the cars of this period, we must have the spirit of "one is not afraid of hardship, and the other is not afraid of death". If you don't have this fearless spirit, you'd better leave it in the garage to recuperate, or send it directly to the scrap yard to sell scrap iron.

2. Maintenance and repair of automobile life cycle

1. The first two years of a car's use are the peak of its life. As long as it is maintained daily, there is basically no problem, but after using the car for more than two years, it will start to replace some of the most easily worn parts.

Brake pads: the car needs to be replaced with new brake pads after two or three years of use. When a car is sent for maintenance, its brake pads should be checked first, because the brake pads are the first line of defense for driving safety. According to experience, brake pads will wear out in about two years. Of course, the exact service life depends on the driver's habits. If you are the kind of person who likes to step on a lot of oil and then slam on the brakes at a critical moment, the wear of the brake pads will definitely be more severe and the service life will be shorter.

Fuel pump: When the car has been running for more than two years, the fuel pump should be cleaned or replaced.

Shock absorber: the car has been in use for three or four years, and it may not run as smoothly as a new car. In this case, you should check the shock absorber of the car. The function of the shock absorber is to reduce the vibration of the car. It is a part of the suspension system. If the spring of the shock absorber is no longer elastic, it will shake badly when driving at high speed, especially in rainy days.

2. At this time, the car is like "middle age", and many things are loose, including all kinds of rubber pipes in the car and problems under the hood. Many car owners often change cars after driving for four or five years, and some used car buyers like to buy cars of this age.

Timing belt: For a car that has been driven for about 4 years, pay attention to whether the timing belt should be changed. When the average car has traveled 70,000 to 654.38+10,000 kilometers, it should be sent to change the timing belt. If it is not replaced in time, if the synchronous belt suddenly breaks halfway, the maintenance cost will be at least several hundred yuan.

Hose: If a car of this age is not well maintained, there will be a problem of black oil leaking. This is natural. When rubber is used, there will always be aging problems. If the owner cherishes the car, the problem of aging will appear later.

Water tank: For cars about 5 years old, the water tank may be corroded by chemicals inside, and some cars' water tanks begin to leak and need to be replaced.

Changing the oil and filter of the car regularly can save a lot of money and make driving more secure.

3. Due to the limited service life of the car, in China, the car should be retired on 15. If properly maintained, the car can still finish its task on schedule healthily. But after seven years, cars will gradually enter old age. At this "age", those small parts that were replaced in the third and fourth years should almost be replaced again, such as shock absorbers. In addition, most automatic cars need to repair the automatic gearbox at this time.

Maintenance of automatic gearbox: the gearbox structure of automatic transmission car is complex, which is more precise for the owner of automatic transmission car. When driving an automatic car, if you want to drive freely and keep in good condition within the service life, the owner must pay more attention to the alternate use of different gears, and the maintenance must not be saved. This can prolong the service life of the automatic gearbox.
