Gejala Rem Blong Pada Mobil :

• Pada Mobil yang mempunyai rem dengan system anti lock brake system ( ABS ), jika indikatornya menyala ini artinya sensor pada roda tidak berfungsi dengan baik, bisa juga berarti kampas rem mobil sudah tipis. Jika indikator rem parkir nya menyala hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa terjadi kebocoran atau minyak rem habis.
• Apabila pedal rem diinjak terasa ada getaran, berdenyut atau berbunyi berarti permukaan piringan rem / disc brake nya sudah tidak rata atau ada benjolan.
• Apabila tercium bau hangus mirip minyak terbakar dari roda, hal ini sebagai pertanda telah terjadi kebocoran disekitar kaliper.
• Jika gejala –gejala rem blong tersebut sudah ada pada mobil anda, solusinya adalah segera membawanya ke bengkel mobil resmi atau bisa juga dengan membawa ke bengkel Nawilis yang melayani Service Bubut Rem (Disc Brake Resurface) dengan tekhnologi Pro-cut Rotor Matching System (RMS).

 

  Cara Merawat Rem Mobil :

• Periksa minyak rem mobil setiap seminggu sekali, atau ganti secara berkala setiap 50000 km
• Periksa ketebalan kampas rem mobil, biasanya para produsen mobil menyarankan agar kampas rem diganti setiap 25000 km. Akan tetapi hal ini tergantung dari cara mengemudi bila sering melewati jalan berlubang yang mengharuskan banyak mengerem bisa saja kampas rem menjadi cepat tipis. untuk memeriksanya bisa dengan memasukkan jari ke sela – sela kampas rem dan kaliper pada saat rem sudah dingin.penggantian material Sepatu rem tromol sebaiknya 4 banding 1, yang berarti bahwa bila kampas rem sudah diganti sebanyak 4 kali, maka sepatu rem tersebut harus diganti  tiap 10000 km sebab bebannya lebih ringan  bila dibandingkan kampas.
• Service rem mobil secara berkala setiap 5000 km

CARA SEDERHANA MERAWAT AC MOBIL SENDIRI

Berkendara dengan mobil akan lebih terasa nyaman, jika penyejuk udara (AC) bekerja dengan sempurna. Sudah menjadi suatu kebutuhan apalagi di kota-kota besar di Indonesia seperti Ibukota Jakarta kalau AC ngadat atau tak dingin, keadaan pun jadi serba salah kaca jendela kalau dibuka, masalah keamanan, debu dan asap kendaraan akan masuk, namun jika ditutup ruangan akan terasa panas dan pengap apabila sedang musim panas,gangguan pada AC biasanya lantaran kurang perawatan. Berikut ini adalah cara sederhana merawat AC sendiri. sebelum kondisi AC menjadi rusak berat:

• Jagalah selalu kebersihan kabin dari debu dan kotoran. Terutama karpet 2 lembar yang didepan karena akan tersedot kedalam evaporator (lembab) sehingga terjadi jamur dan spora sangat tidak baik buat kesehatan, dan menimbulkan bau yg tidak enak bila pertama kali AC dihidupkan.
• Saat mencuci mobil, buka kap mesinnya dan semprotkan air yang kencang pada bagian Condensor AC (yang bentuknya mirip radiator dan biasanya terletak didepan radiator) kotoran atau debu yang menempel bila dibiarkan akan mengeras bisa mengakibatkan korosi atau keropos sehingga menjadi bocor pada bagian kondensor.
• Memilih tempat parkir yang teduh jika parkir kendaraan dalam waktu yang cukup lama, Karena kalau di tempat panas biasanya pas pengemudi masuk, ruang dalam cukup panas dan mengakibatkan membutuhkan proses pendinginan yang lama. Selain itu beban pendinginan saat mobil berjalan pun ikut tinggi.

Symptoms of a Bad Transmission

The transmission is a critical component of overall vehicle operation and without it you would not be able to drive your car. A transmission allows you to move your vehicle forwards and backwards at different speeds. For car owners, transmission failure can be a complete nightmare, costing thousands of dollars to fix or replace. Nobody knows when or where a transmission will fail, so there is another inconvenience of possibly being stranded in the middle of nowhere or on your way to an important function. Although transmission failure is not something any car owner wants to hear about, there are warning signs that may indicate your vehicle is having some kind of transmission problems. Remember, even if your vehicle is experiencing one or more of these warning signs, it does not necessarily mean it is the transmission. Symptoms of a bad transmission overlap with numerous other common vehicle problems, so it is always best to take your vehicle in to have it inspected before just jumping to any irrational conclusion. Bringing your vehicle in for an evaluation and possibly catching a minor problem before it becomes a major issues, might save you thousands of dollars. All that said, below are some of the more common symptoms of a bad transmission:

Leaky Fluid-transmissions require fluid in order to function and are the lifeblood of the transmission, serving to keep the internal parts cool and lubricated. One warning sign of a bad transmission is when your vehicle begins to leak transmission fluid. If you park on a white surface, such as a concrete driveway or in a garage, you will be able to tell if you have such fluid leakage. If you park on a dirt or grass surface you will need to place a white cloth or blanket underneath the hood part of your car to find such leakage. If you notice any pinkish fluid leaking out, then you will know that it is from the transmission. Also any very dark or burned looking fluid is another sign that the transmission may be having a problem since optimal color should be a dark or cherry red. Any fluids leaking from your vehicle are cause for concern and warrant taking your vehicle to get transmission repair at as soon as possible.

Slipping-another warning sign is transmission gear slippage. This is usually one of the more common signs of transmission failure. You will know if there is a slippage problem if you try to accelerate from a stopped position. Vehicles with normal functioning transmissions allow for a smooth acceleration without hesitation, however a vehicle that may be experiencing a transmission problem would slow down this acceleration process and at the same time your vehicle's RPM spikes up. A jerking motion when putting the vehicle in gear or accelerating from a stand still would be a sign of gear slippage as well.

Surging-when driving your car at steady speeds, you should never notice any type of jerking movements. Bad transmissions usually cause vehicles to surge or lurch ahead. You might hear the RPM  have a sudden increase as well. Again, this issue needs to be solved right away and you should take your car to a service center as soon as you're able.

Any Type of Burning Odor-a burning smell can be many things, and this includes your transmission. A burning odor coming from your transmission fluid means the fluid has broken down. When this happens, corrosive agents and varnish accumulate throughout the transmission. When this happens, heat builds up and can ultimately cause complete transmission failure. Transmission overheating can be disastrous, so if you ever smell any kind of burning odor, stop driving immediately until you have your vehicle checked out by a professional.

Non-existent Transmission Action-transmissions that do not engage no matter what gear you are in can indicate a serious transmission problem. There could also be some sort of electronic failure causing your transmission not to engage, so best thing to do is have it looked at right away to determine the extent of the problem. Many repair shops will offer free towing with repair if you're within a certain distance from their location.

Dashboard Lights-your dashboard is your friend and usually (not all the time) if your vehicle is having a problem a warning light will come on to alert you. If you notice that your check engine light comes on, take your vehicle in for an inspection as soon as possible. Although the check engine light can be indicative of many things, even something as simple as an electronic sensor or computer chip malfunction, it can also indicate a possible transmission problem, so it is always better to be safe than sorry here. Don't always think the worst case scenario just because you see warning lights come on in your vehicle. Your vehicle is simply alerting you that an issue needs to be addressed.

There are many things that can go wrong when driving your vehicle, so it is always wise to have your vehicle checked on a routine basis and at specific mileage intervals according to your owner's manual. There are over 300 moving parts in many transmissions and any one of these could be the cause of your problem. A transmission problem is usually the extreme when it comes to diagnosing different vehicle problems, but it is a problem that no car owner desires to have. As soon as you notice any of the above symptoms or other abnormalities when driving your vehicle, don't take chances and have the vehicle checked out. Routine maintenance can be a low cost of way of preventing major transmission failure down the road. Although there are no guarantees of preventing any kind of possible transmission problems, having knowledge about the symptoms of a bad transmission may prevent further damage to this vital component and save you a lot of money in the long run.

Parts Of Your Auto Air Conditioning System

If your auto air conditioning system is giving you problems, you probably need the help of a specialist. However, sometimes you can fix some of the more minor problems yourself, or at least arrange for a stopgap measure until you actually get the time to visit a car repair shop. For that you need to be familiar with the inner workings of your auto air conditioning system, and be acquainted with the more common problems that such systems face.

The first thing you need to realize is that the A/C in your car is basically just a fridge. You have mostly the same parts, with a design change. Given below are the most common parts of a car air conditioner:-

The Compressor: - The compressor pressurizes the refrigerant and circulates it throughout your car. Compressors usually malfunction if there is a leak in the system

The Condenser: - The condenser's job is twofold. First, as can be guessed from its name, the condenser cools the refrigerant by removing excess heat from it. Second, it catches any debris coming from the compressor. Condensers are expensive and cannot be replaced frequently; at least not without causing a severe dent in your pocket, so it's better to clean and repair them when necessary.

The Refrigerant: - This is what collects the heat from inside your vehicle and dumps it outside. In modern cars it's a substance called R134a, whereas older cars have something called Freon. Freon has been gradually phased out because of the damage it causes to the ozone layer.

The Expansion Valve: - This is a type of nozzle that controls the pressure and flow of the refrigerant.

The Evaporator: - This transfers the heat from your car to the refrigerant, effectively cooling your car.

These are the basic parts of your car air conditioner, and while knowing them will not allow you to do the work of a skilled auto technician, they can help identify the more common A/C related problems and decide which one needs immediate attention.

For those looking to fix their auto air conditioning, Tucson has quite a few options. However, the one name that most auto enthusiasts of the area trust is Brakemax. They provide complete car care of the highest quality, and if you love your car and would not entrust it to anyone but the best, you need to visit brakemax.com and check out their services immediately.
