Regular service

If from the moment of acquisition of the new car the owner carefully adheres to the routine maintenance schedule, often enough to make checks of levels of liquids and a condition of components subject to raised deterioration, the power unit of a vehicle will reliably serve during many and many thousand kilometres of run. Thus necessity for performance additional repair and a recovery work will be shown to a minimum.

On the other hand, it is rather probable that in case of neglect performance of procedures of regular routine maintenance, soon enough there will come the moment when efficiency of return of the engine considerably will fall. Told in a special measure concerns cases of acquisition of the car which was in the use which previous owner carelessly concerned care of it. Thus the new owner will not manage to avoid necessity of carrying out of an additional recovery work.

In case of occurrence of suspicions on deterioration of the engine, it is a lot of helpful information on a condition of its internal components it is possible to receive, having inspected компрессионного pressure in cylinders (the corresponding section of the Head engine Repair see). Based on the results of testing it is possible to estimate volume of a forthcoming recovery work precisely enough. For example, if compression check has revealed signs of considerable internal deterioration of the engine, performance of the usual list of procedures of the service resulted more low in the given Chapter, will not lead to restoration of parametres of the unit and is only waste of time and means. Here it is necessary to make full major repairs of the engine before.

The list of checks, options and the updatings, capable to restore working parametres of the engine which has lost the initial characteristic is more low resulted.
