Drivers be careful because simple things can cause cars to 'die'

Although cars are always regularly cared for and maintained, many operating habits cause cars to quickly deteriorate and break down frequently.

A car is a big asset, each repair cost is not small. Therefore, car maintenance and care are always concerned. However, that is not enough, one reason why cars often break down and deteriorate quickly is the "wrong" habits of the driver during the operation of the car.

According to car care and maintenance engineers, if the car stops for a long time, such as overnight or after many days, when getting in the car, many drivers put the car in D gear and start the car immediately. This will cause the lubricating oil and gasoline to not be pumped into the engine in time, which will affect the car's longevity in the long run. Therefore, in these cases, the driver should let the car run for at least 1 minute before moving the car.

Many drivers say they often let their cars run out of gas before filling up. This is a mistake that causes cars to deteriorate quickly because the gas at the end of the tank usually has a lot of dirt, and when they keep using that amount of gas, it will cause parts such as joints, pumps and fuel injectors in the engine to be at risk of damage.

In addition, having too little gas in the tank can cause the fuel pump to overheat and wear out. To keep the fuel pump in good condition, you should always keep the fuel in the tank at least about a quarter full.

Running out of gas or using water to clean the engine will damage the electrical systems in the car. In the long run, this is the cause of electrical short circuits, even fire and explosion.

If the car often goes on steep slopes, the car constantly brakes can cause the car's brake system to quickly break down or, more dangerously, cause the brakes to burn out. When the brakes have to work continuously at high speeds, the inertia and friction will cause the brake discs and brake pads to heat up and can burn out, leading to brake failure. In addition, due to working under high pressure, the hydraulic system can be disabled.

In addition, if a warning light appears on the car dashboard, the driver needs to quickly check or repair it. Because the warning lights on the dashboard do not light up naturally. When a light is on, the car is definitely having problems. In particular, there are failures that cause the car to suddenly stop while moving.
