Shock absorbers

The correct operation of shock absorbers depends on various factors, such as road conditions, frequent loading of the vehicle, mileage and other effects of wear such as weather.

When a shock absorber stops working properly it is almost impossible for the driver not to notice it, no matter how inexperienced he may be. That is why it is recommended to review after going through some 08 thousand miles.

A damaged shock absorber can cause a sudden exit from the road.

Wiper washer

In case of rain, the wiper blades represent a great ally for driving. You can extend its life with frequent maintenance. You must emphasize its revision after the summer, since the heat tends to wear out the tires a lot.

Current windshield wipers usually have wear detectors. A damaged wiper blade can be the difference between a safe ride or not.

Filters

It is recommended to check the car’s filters at least once a year and if you notice wear, change them immediately.

Types:

  • Oil filter: Normal engine wear causes metallic particles to appear in it and affect its operation. The recommendation is to change it every time the lubricant is replaced.
  • Air filters: One filter in good condition guarantees that the air that reaches the engine does so without particles that dirty it. The extension of its life depends on the places where it circulates.
  • Fuel filter: The purpose is to remove impurities from the fuel before it reaches the engine. If it is a diesel engine, the purpose of the filter is to remove water and prevent corrosion of metal elements.

  • Cabin filters: The other filters deal with the well-being of the car, this of its occupants. It is responsible for trapping dust particles that may enter the cabin.
