At what points to emphasize?
It is important not to leave the maintenance to the last minute and do it in a hurry, incomplete or wrong way. Therefore we take as reference the recommendations of Carlos Sancho, head of German Post-sale Arribas Sancho SL, a company dedicated to the automotive world this being the fourth generation.
- Oil: Always at a level between the maximum and the minimum set by the rod. It should be remembered that checking the oil level must always be done with the engine cold and horizontal. In case of having to add oil, Carlos Sancho Always follow the manufacturer's specifications.
- Lights: Check the proper operation of all vehicle lights. An important aspect to be noted is the height of the headlights as "poor regulation of the headlights is very dangerous for the other drivers." To do this go to an expert advise and check that they are in the right spot.
- Brakes: Fundamental test the operation of the braking system, analyzing the pedal travel, if a rebound of it is experienced or perceived air bubbles.
- Tires: The party is in constant contact with the asphalt and that a large percentage depends on our safe driving. Check the status of drawing which tread depth is at least 2mm-, pressure is recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle-right-the ...
- Antifreeze: Maybe to many it not is significant for the time of year it is, but from Germán Sancho Arribas SL tell us that after the passing of winter, we must take a test of degradation and a placement test to check the status of antifreeze and guarantee and a good engine cooling because after winter and after the contrasts of hot and cold coolant can lose their properties.
Eye auxiliaries
In addition to basic and key issues such as those mentioned above, Carlos Sancho speaks also of auxiliary elements that become important when we have to travel. We are talking, for example, that the spare tire is in good condition in case you need to use-not be worn and that has the pressure appropriately, have the necessary tools for a possible change of wheel -we refer a cat and key- and also have the required security features in case of failure such as triangles regulated and reflective vest. It is very important to have these accessories handy when traveling and any unforeseen can happen once we meet on the road and with the sole desire to reach the holiday destination chosen.
