Repair and car operation

General information about settings and adjustments

If the owner of the new car from the date of its acquisition strictly adhered to the schedule of procedures of routine maintenance (see. The schedule of routine maintenance), rather often carried out check of critical parameters, supported demanded level of lubricant liquids, the engine will need extremely seldom performance of additional service and regenerative repair (over replacement of components subject to raised wear and expendables).

On the other hand, in case of the negligent relation to performance of procedures of regular maintenance and frequent violation of established periods of carrying out checks, efficiency of return of the engine will surely decrease sooner or later. The probability of emergence of such situation in case of acquisition of the car which was in the use is especially high. In such cases there is a need for performance of a complex of settings of the power unit over amount of works on routine maintenance of the car.

The first step at control or diagnostics of malfunctions of the engine working with lowered return always is check of kompressionny pressure in cylinders (see. Engine repair without extraction from the car - the Integra models) which analysis of results allows to estimate the general condition of internal components of the engine and to draw up the plan of the forthcoming adjusting and/or recovery operations. For example, if check of kompressionny pressure revealed signs of serious internal wear of the engine, a usual complex of settings will be insufficiently to correct a situation, and its carrying out is waste of time and means. In view of value of information received as a result of check of kompressionny pressure, it is necessary to charge its performance to rather skilled and qualified mechanic having necessary diagnostic devices.

Below lists of the main adjusting procedures, allowing to restore efficiency of return of the engine which was in a working mechanical order are provided.

List of the minimum complex of checks and adjustments

• Check levels of all concerning operation of the engine of liquids (see. Check of levels of liquids (each 400 km of run or weekly)).
• Make cleaning and check of a condition of the storage battery (see. Check, service and a charging of the storage battery (each 12 000 km of run or time in 6 months)).
• Check a condition and effort of a tension of driving belts, in case of need make necessary adjustment (see. Condition check, adjustment of effort of a tension and replacement of driving belts, (each 12 000 km of run or time in 6 months)).
• Check a condition of all hoses located in an impellent compartment (see. Check of a condition and replacement of the hoses located in an impellent compartment (each 12 000 km of run or time in 6 months)).
• Make check of a condition and service of components of system of cooling (see. Check of a condition of components of system of cooling (each 12 000 km of run or time in 6 months)).
• Check a condition of a filtering element of an air purifier (see. Replacement of a filtering element of an air purifier (each 24 000 km of run or time in two years)).
• Check a condition of a cover and a distributor begunka (see. Check of a condition of components of a power supply system (each 24 000 km of run or time in 12 months)).
• Check installation of turns of idling, in case of need make the corresponding adjustment (see. Replacement of liquid of automatic transmission (AT/CVT) (each 48 000 km of run or time in 24 months)).

List of a full complex of checks and adjustments

In addition to the checks listed below:

• Replace filtering element of an air purifier (see. Check of a condition of seat belts (each 24 000 km of run or time in 12 months)).
• Check serviceability of functioning and a condition of components of a power supply system (See. Check of a condition of components of a power supply system (each 24 000 km of run or time in 12 months)).
• Replace spark plugs (see. Check of a condition and replacement of spark plugs).
• Replace a cover and a distributor begunok (see. Check of a condition and replacement of VV of candle wires, covers and a distributor begunka (each 48 000 km of run or time in 24 months)).
• Check a condition of VV of wires of system of ignition (see. Check of a condition and replacement of VV of candle wires, covers and a distributor begunka (each 48 000 km of run or time in 24 months)).
• Check serviceability of functioning and a condition of components of system of a charge (see. Head engine Electric equipment).
