Weekly checks
Introduction
The complex of the elementary checks which are taking away time minimum, but allowing to avoid contingencies for performance by a time of expensive repair is among procedures of obligatory regular service of the vehicle.
These checks have to be made weekly and do not demand any special skills and ability to use special tools from the performer.
- You watch a state and pressure of a rating of tires - timely detection of defects will allow not only to raise service life of protectors, but also to avoid hit in an emergency.
- A large number of refusals is connected with malfunctions of electric equipment. The violations connected with a condition of the rechargeable battery are the most typical.
- Remember that the first sign of emergence of leak of brake fluid is violation of serviceability of braking of the car. regular check of level of liquid will allow to avoid hit in an emergency.
- Remember that the damages connected with a lack of engine oil or cooling liquid can demand carrying out very expensive repair. Regularly check levels of the mentioned working liquids. Try to reveal leaks in time and to remove their cause.
On illustrations the main test points of a motive compartment of each of considered in the present manual of models of the Skoda Felicia car are shown.

Check of level of motive oil
|
|
It is carried out before a trip, or not less than 5 min. later after switching off of the engine. Otherwise a part of oil will be distributed on a surface of the greased components of the engine and check will yield the underestimated result. The car has to be parked on the flat horizontal platform, whenever possible with a hard coating.
Modern cars are very sensitive to the choice of the engine oil which is filled in in the engine. Try to adhere to the recommendations provided in appropriate section of Introduction to the present manual. |
|
|
|
1. Take the probe of motive oil which handle is usually painted in bright color. |
|
|
2. Dry wipe an edge of the probe pure неворсящейся with rags, enter the probe back into the directing tube (against the stop) and again take it. |
|
|
3. Level of oil has to be between the marks MIN and MOVE in a probe edge. If the region of the moistened site of an edge is near the mark MIN, add the corresponding amount of engine oil of the same grade that is already filled in the engine. |
|
|
4. Oil is filled in in the engine through a special mouth which it is previously necessary to uncover. Fill in oil in the small portions, every time checking its level on the probe and maintaining the pauses sufficient for running off of the filled-in portion in the case pallet. Continue procedures until the level of oil does not appear between marks in a probe edge. |
|
|
5. If need for adjustment of level of engine oil arises too often, it is necessary to check the unit for existence of signs of leaks. It is the simplest to reveal leaks it is possible, having left the blank sheet of a cardboard under the car parked for the night. If there are no leaks, its burning out can be the reason of a consumption of oil (see Diagostik's Section of malfunctions of knots and systems of the car). |
|
6. Try to support oil level between marks in a probe edge (see above). Excessive falling of level can bring to damage of internal components of the engine as a result of oil starvation. Excess of-level norm usually leads to failure of epiploons of a bent shaft. |
|
Check of level of cooling liquid
|
|
In order to avoid receiving burns the ferry, do not uncover a jellied mouth of a broad tank at the hot engine at all!
Remember that cooling liquid is highly toxic - do not leave open a container with antifreeze!
In order to avoid development of internal corrosion of components the cooling system has to be filled with antifreeze mix with water during the whole year, and not just in winter months. Try not to allow fluidifying of cooling liquid, using clear water for adjustment of its level. |
|
|
|
1. Liquid level in a broad tank of the cooling system can vary depending on engine temperature. Norm is finding of level between the marks MIN and MOVE in a translucent wall of a tank at the cold engine. During warming up of the engine the level of liquid can rise slightly over mark MOVE. |
|
|
2. In case of need adjustments of level of cooling liquid wait for full cooling of the engine. Having slowly turned off a tank cover, dump residual internal pressure in system.
|
|
Completely to avoid risk of a scalding a cover before an otvorachivaniye it will be better to wrap up rags. |
|
|
|
3. Add in a tank correctly the made antifreeze mix with water. Continue to fill in liquid until its level does not appear between the marks MIN and MOVE in tank walls. |
|
|
4. In cooling systems of tight type, typical for the majority of modern cars, need for adjustment of level of cooling liquid arises only in case of development of leaks. The most typical sources of leaks are the radiator case, hoses and joints of the components of the power unit interfaced among themselves. Try to remove the causes of the revealed leaks immediately. |
|
Check of level of brake fluid
|
|
Remember that brake fluid is highly toxic and is aggressive in relation to paint and varnish coverings - observe the appropriate measures of precaution. |
Brake fluid is also extremely hygroscopic, i.e. has ability to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. Do not use for adjustment of level long time the liquid stored in leaky closed container - availability of moisture in it leads to dangerous decrease in efficiency of braking.
|
|
In process of wear of brake shoes liquid level in the GTTs tank falls due to gradual promotion of pistons of supports and wheel cylinders a little. However it is not necessary to allow falling of level of liquid below the mark MIN in a tank wall. |
|
|
|
1. The translucent tank of brake fluid is located on the left partition of a motive compartment. Marks of level of liquid are put on a forward wall of the tank. |
|
|
2. Level of brake fluid has to be supported constantly between marks in a tank | | |
