Market of spare parts for Korean cars

Korea produces good cars for many years. Therefore, the market of spare parts for Korean cars has already formed. Are present and original spare parts, and produced by firms, and counterfeit products. Manufacturers of spare parts in Korea to fully satisfy the demands for Korean cars. Plant supplies parts for engine, chassis, transmissions, brakes, bodywork, interior. These parts can be quite easy to get into branded retail stores, or feel free to buy at any commercial store. Aftermarket for "Koreans" is experiencing constant pressure from the fakes that are sold at a price of spare parts. According to experts, the share of fakes on the market in some cases can reach up to fifty percent. According to this dubious indicator of fraud on the Korean auto parts will give odds to Japanese fakes. In this case, the "Left" spare parts for Korean cars are much worse than the quality (if the word "quality" is generally acceptable in this case). Very often under the guise of original car parts from Korea sell cheap Indian or Thai fakes. They are worse than China, different low-grade metal used and are more like souvenirs. In this situation, indirectly blame themselves buyers of parts for Korean cars. Indeed, quite often the outlets (even large wholesale firms) acquire fake parts. For example, buying spare parts for European and Japanese cars, many pay attention to the quality and type of packaging. But with regards to "Korean", here are purchased openly base product.

Answers to questions in relation to the cast discs are most interested motorists

Best is wheel that you like and fits in your car. If you can not understand for themselves what technology should prefer, you can choose the wheel, where there are two techniques (forging and casting). For example, the company produces three-body OZ wheels: the inner rim - cast, the outer rim - rolled, drive - forged. All this is bonded with titanium bolts. In this article we give answers to the questions with respect to the molded discs, which are most interested motorists. What do the numbers ET35 and 5, 5 in the size of motor drive ? The disk size is specified and is given the symbolism of the enterprise. For example, you can decipher so this mark 5, 5Jx14S3: first number - in this case 5, 5 (in inches) - denotes the width of the rim, the second - 15 (in inches) - this is landing rim diameter, followed by the number of collars and a description of the form (C - flat shape bead, H - round shape), in our case, three bead flat shape. The box, which packed the wheel provides brand and type of motor vehicle or mounting dimensions of the DIA, PCD , ET, the number of holes for fasteners - LZ, and also size. Designations sizes of wheels, which are accepted by the international community: DIA - diameter hole hub ET - off-set (crash), the distance from the middle of the profile of the rim to the wheel plane landing PCD - center hole diameter fasteners LZ - fixing the number of holes What alloy wheels are better than steel? With increasing aluminum production and the emergence of centers for processing under computer control, alloy wheels have large distribution and their advantages over regular steel wheels felt ordinary motorists.

What are the markings applied to the tires

Car owner buys a separate shoes for the winter and summer, but sometimes forgets to take care of footwear for your car. And this problem is very important, therefore, must be approached responsibly on this issue. In this article we will tell you what the markings are applied to the tires. First you need to learn to understand the main inscription on the lid, but rather in their labeling. The sidewall of the new tires on a mandatory basis should be given its size, which will tell us a lot. For example, 175/70 R13 82 T, will be decoded as: 175 - Tire width in millimeters. It must be remembered that the number will include the width and the rim, which is recommended. 70 - (in%) - the ratio of height to width of the tire profile, in other words the height of tire is 70% of its width. Sometimes omit the serial number of sizes, these tires are also called full-profile, the proportion of their 80-82%, for example: 185 R14 C 102 Q. R-radial design, as found in - with zoster cord and D - the diagonal. 15 - (inch) diameter disk. At this diameter must be mounted tire. 82 - the coefficient of the load index, which shows the maximum permissible load. T - speed index. The index determines the maximum speed of the machine. This rate is guaranteed by the manufacturer, with all her performance will be maintained. There are additional symbols, for example, the label 195/70 R 15 C, where REINFORCED - 6-layer rigid bus or C - pointer to 8-ply truck tires. This special tires with increased load factor - "reinforced" for vans and trucks.

How to test a used diesel engine before you buy

If the machine you need not so much to go on it, but as an interesting hobby that involves relentless finishing the car to working condition, then you can always rely solely on the pricing policy. In this article we'll show you how to test a used diesel engine before you buy.

The first thing to be done - even before the march on the car market - clearly determine to what characteristics of the motor for you to have the greatest importance. Unfortunately, a large number of power units can not be together to be economical, reliable, powerful and well succumb to repair. It is sad, but it will be necessary to compromise. Small motors (which are installed on small cars), in general, can boast good fuel economy, but they are less durable, less reliable and are more modest characteristics of power compared to the "older brother". Larger working volume of the power plant, according to statistics, can provide a greater level of reliability.

What you should pay attention when you buy an insurance policy

In our country, the bulk of transactions in the field of automobile insurance is in direct communication Insurance Company (UK) and the client. However, when the car is damaged, the owners of vehicles is not always possible to obtain insurance payments. This can happen for various reasons. Moreover, as practice shows, for legitimate reasons.

And malfunctioning dampers

Machine, the wheel is hung up in the air, can not slow down, turn or accelerate, ie, it becomes completely unmanageable. The springs are constantly striving to return the wheel to the ground, however, hit the road surface, they are the same speed bounce back. Fluctuations all the time repeated, the machine meets the new wells and barriers and, if not the work of shock absorbers at speeds in excess of 30-40 km / hour to operate it becomes almost impossible. Features the same operating shock absorber designed so that the wheel produces only one "full" move up, then comes back down and then 75% of the impact energy absorber repaid - is dispersed into the air and converted into heat. Properly working shock absorbers - the leading element of active safety. Danger of the situation in the first place is that, for a start, the drivers may not realize this, and the wear of shock absorbers gradual process, often with no audible or visible sign. Motorists getting used to the "new" behavior of the machine, but at the moment in which you want to rebuild and get away from the car suddenly appeared backward, or will turn cooler, the car will behave quite differently. In this article we will tell you about and malfunctioning dampers. How to diagnose broken shock absorbers? There are four ways to test shock - from external to in-depth with the use, of course, computers and microprocessors. 1. External inspection Despite the fact that shocks such as specially arranged in a very uncomfortable place to test, this test is one of the most truthful and, of course, prompt and cheap.

How to change the wheel of the machine

The problem of handwritten replacing the wheels on the car, many drivers are currently not even face. Especially in large cities where the roads are laid out very well, and yards are cleaned, and tire services everywhere. If suddenly there is any doubt as to the integrity of the wheel - forward on the tire, and all the cases. Even if the wheel, so to speak, on the rim, you can put a special seal fluid, pumped up and move to the experts. However, there are cases where still need to put the spare tire itself. And any motorist would be helpful to have at least some idea of ??how to change the wheel of the car. In order to change the car wheel, you must have the necessary minimum of tools and accessories. This jack, wheel wrench (for loosening the wheel nuts - bolts) and, preferably, a pair of stops under the wheels of cars, so finding something improvised often simply impossible. And, of course, a pump or compressor. It will not hurt and a pair of work gloves. To begin with, on what grounds while driving can be suspected that something was wrong with the wheels. This diversion of vehicles to the side, inappropriate behavior while driving, swimming tailgate, shortness of management, the increased external noise with a (usually) of the parties. At high speed, with full breakdown of the car snapped in the direction of the damaged wheel, and the main thing - do not get confused and keep control. Deal with changing wheels in the middle of the road is not recommended. Not only do you create an obstacle movement (and it is now very busy), and can trigger this emergency situation, so you still will put themselves at risk to get into an accident, and with your participation.

Kinds of additives that increase the lifespan engine

The most extensive and popular group of additives - it is anti-friction additives. However, the types of additives that increase the service life of the engine are much broader. About them and talk. Antifriction Antifriction additives kinds of additives improve the lubricating properties of oils reduce friction parts and, accordingly, increase the service life of the engine. Friction reduction mechanisms also contributes to fuel economy. Anti-friction additives are for the engine and transmission. Oil additives for engines produced and universal, and specialized for diesel or petrol engines. As diverse types of additives in gear oils. There are universal - for the transmission of any type. There are specialized - for example, exclusively for the "automatic". Viscosity Viscosity additives additives designed to improve high viscosity index oils. As a result, the thickness of the oil wedge increases and the lubricant on the friction elements are not flows away. Hence the specificity of viscosity additives. They are used when the engine parts are worn out. Or work under the increased load. Of course, you can use standard oil with high viscosity index. However, there is a caveat: additive increase only high performance. A thick oil has high viscosity (which means - and the worst inflow) at low temperatures. Supporting Supporting additives - additives is also increasing the service life of the engine. Large firms offer depressor (improved low temperature performance), defoamers, anti-oxidant additives and high in a large assortment.

Not only can you get sick myself, but crap on the back scratches. In this article we will examine how to properly wash a car in winter. And so the first piece of advice would be washing cars in the winter only in special services. However, remember when the air temperature below -12 degrees, it is better to refrain from washing. You ask why? Since the water can go anywhere and instantly burst into warm on a cold, and it already lead to tearing the radiator, headlights and cracked windows. Still have to wait until the street becomes warm. But if you still have decided on this procedure, in which case there are some unwritten rules. Bath with chemicals. Very often, wash your car in winter is not necessary, especially given our weather. Therefore it is necessary to use modern chemical drugs, which can extend the "day of purity" of your car.

An action plan for driving at night

Night time is always dangerous for the driver, but travel at night, sooner or later almost every motorist. This article provides an action plan for driving at night. All that we are accustomed to seeing during the day, at night looks very different. Sunlight helps to see the road and its surroundings in detail, rather than stare at the silhouettes of the night. Not surprisingly, that reduced visibility in nighttime driver can slip right turn or mix up the road. Focus on the road when driving at night more difficult than during the day. In the morning twilight to rely on "eagle eye" is not necessary. For safety, and his own, better slow down. An alternative solution would be a small stop. Twilight of short duration, and pause in the movement will be short-lived, and danger to get into an accident will drop to zero. An action plan to prepare a car for a night trip. Check the headlights, turn indicators, brake lights, and driving headlamp, emergency stop signal. When driving lights contaminated and require special attention. Wipe appliances during the trip should be every time you see that the road is not brightly lit. In the long journey to periodically check the operation of all appliances and lighting supply light signals. Windshield wipers should also be operable. Make sure to clean "wipers" and if there is dirt, wipe with a dry cloth. Otherwise, their functions at the right moment, they do not comply. Side view mirror wipe of dirt and handle for themselves.

Automotive differential device in the car

Probably the most important unit in the car - it's a differential. To provide different speed axles of wheels, often used differential (melkolesny), and drive axle shafts - interaxal. Differentials are classified as asymmetric and symmetric, locked and free. In symmetric torque will be distributed among the semi-axes in equal shares, and asymmetric in different proportions. Cross-axle differential is basically balanced, while the inter-axle can be either asymmetric or symmetric. Does not prevent the drive shafts or half-axes rotate with different angular velocity of the free differential, we note that the locking differential can be easily restrict that independence. In the article "automotive differential unit in the car," we will tell you the basic principles of mechanisms. Therefore, the permanent four-wheel drive in the drive worked fine, must be a center differential and two interwheel. The first four-wheel drive car equipped with a fairly simple locking rear cross axle and inter-axle differential of the car, they easily could engage directly with the driver's seat by pressing the appropriate buttons. However, later it turned out that when you leave the pavement, you'll often forget to turn off the lock, resulting in transmission is difficult crumbling before our eyes. Then think seriously about the engineers of many companies on the computerized system connecting locking mechanisms. The result was viskomufty (viscous coupling), which was developed by FF Development.

Is it legal to take place in the yard for parking

Romance of the spring heat for car owner is not so pleasant for pedestrians. The joy of melting snow and warmed the sun spoil the upcoming replacement of rubber from summer to winter, as well as an appearance on the roads "snowdrops". Find space for parking in a residential courtyard in the afternoon it becomes problematic. This is due to several reasons: one has decided to save on parking fee, the other refused to swap the garage, and a third decided to put the car under the window after a winter of inactivity. Look for a place closer to the entrance are increasingly reduced to zero, neighbors, motorists prefer not to quarrel and leave the car on the rule of "who is first in time, order and place." But to get away from economic prohindeev choosing to isolate myself a parking space in the yard low columns, girded their chains, or other special guards. Is it legal to take place in the yard for parking, we consider in this paper.

If these comrades ignore your requests to free up space, not threaten them and do not use physical force. Do not attempt to remove the fence, otherwise the situation will turn against you, because it is their property, even if found illegal. It is better to resort to the law and, without going beyond its scope, to fight selfish neighbors. Violation occurring on make up application in the following instances: a police precinct in the district council, housing and utilities, the city mayor's reception room in the administrative and technical inspection, the more services you are writing Alert, the faster the reaction of the authorities in relation to your business .

Permutation of the rudder on Japanese cars

Some people make quite a radical step - the Japanese did with cars steering wheel right to left. The reason of such a reversal could be rejection of steering with the party's ban on the operation of right-hand drive vehicles, and more. Permutation of the rudder on Japanese cars is very complicated in design. But is it worth doing? Most often, these questions are car owners who want to buy vehicles, stuffed with various features, is cheaper, and then just adding a bit of money to rearrange the wheel "by Europe." Let's start with the fact that the rearrangement of steering by maturity takes about three months. But after an exhausting paperwork so want to quickly take a ride on the new car, try it out. But sometimes even that time is not enough. Another headache is that the handlebars can be rearranged only on some models, with the European market "left-handed" counterparts. At first glance, it seems that the procedure of the steering wheel from one side to another is not so complicated. But by tinkering with the steering rack is also attached to other such rigmarole surrounding rail details. Assembly of some models even analogues occurs at different factories, but their designs differ significantly. The car will have to undergo rearrangement steering rack, adapted dash (shift sensor, air conditioning and heating, with some parts that you can not change, will have to bow out) and the steering column. It also requires the transfer of the pedal group with brackets, tubes, engine compartment, which are suitable to the stove and air conditioner, change the location of brake booster, master cylinder clutch and throttle cable.

Why should we warm up the motor car

Every motorist encounters a problem - why should warm up the motor car. When the heat on the street, no problems - including the engine and went quietly. But as soon as autumn comes, and then winter, then there are some difficulties with the car. In the cold season it is difficult to make a car - the ignition system, starter, battery subjected to additional stress. And the car's engine needs adjustment. And then the driver is faced with a difficult choice: to warm the engine, even if your car new and well-adjusted, or start the engine and immediately begin to move? At first glance it may seem that this simple question, but in automotive experts have different opinions on this matter. Effect of temperature on motor vehicles. To better understand it, why must first warm up the car, consider their design. Aggregates of the car are made of heterogeneous materials - aluminum, steel. If the cylinder head piston pin or camshaft when cold will form small gaps, whereas when the engine warms up the coefficients of thermal expansion of various metals - aluminum, steel - will be different, but the gaps will widen. Where cast iron cylinder block and pistons, there is a large gap, and on heating it decreases the car engine. And if the engine overheats, then this gap is reduced to virtually zero. Moment of changing the size of the working gap is an important issue. Because these changes affect the friction of engine parts, and hence on the wear on the characteristics of lubrication of parts.
