This is an eight-and-a-half-year-old bright sharp with a current mileage of 108, 000 kilometers. Usually basically in the local 4S maintenance, the vehicle is not specifically in accordance with the instructions to maintain, just say that the vehicle power is weak or high fuel consumption, will go to the store for maintenance. The temperature is particularly high this summer, driving often turn on the air conditioner, the fuel consumption has been high, turning on the air conditioner is also easy to make the pipe breed bacteria, and the brake pads are basically worn very thin, so this time I am ready for maintenance without running more than 10,000 kilometers. I believe in such a sentence, what you do to the car, the car will do to you. In my opinion, the car is not a simple means of transportation, it protects you from the wind and rain, it listens to your happiness and sorrow, and silently accompanies you, it is a friend, a partner.
I didn’t have an appointment before, so I caught up early for fear that there were too many vehicles to be maintained on the rest day.
Receive the routine operation, and then go to the room to confirm the details of the maintenance.
Skoda’s cool summer customer service activities are still good, and some spare parts will be discounted.
The details of my maintenance this time are: replacement of Shell Black Diamond 0W40, replacement of oil filter element, cleaning and maintenance of air conditioning system, replacement of PM2.5 air conditioning filter element, replacement of front and rear brake pads. Shell black drill 0W40 oil is the oil I have been using since it was insured. The viscosity grade is relatively high. The use of power cleaning and dispersion technology can effectively reduce the production of oil dirt and carbon deposition and protect the effective operation of the engine.
The cleaning and maintenance of the air conditioning system and the replacement of the air conditioning filter element can make the vehicle air conditioner more healthy and comfortable.
The replacement of brake pads is for the safety of the vehicle itself, do not hit others, but also try not to be hit by others, when it is time to stop, you must stop.
The master who took care of me is more unfamiliar with the eyes. I guess he hasn’t been here for a long time. First of all, put the vehicle on the lift and come to the passenger seat to remove the air conditioner filter element.
Let’s take a look at the air conditioning filter element first. this filter element should have been replaced in December last year, and it was actually very dirty in eight months. The folds are interspersed with large particles such as leaves and branches, as well as some dust, pollen, and so on, which are invisible to the human eye. If the air conditioning filter element is not replaced for a long time, then the air output of the air conditioner will become smaller, the filtering effect will become worse, and the harmful substances outside the vehicle will enter the vehicle. And inhaled into the body to cause physical harm.
The master lifted the hoist and began to remove the guard plate. The young man moved quickly and began to remove the screws of the oil pan.
The cleaning effect of the oil is good, and the oil released is bright black.
Taking advantage of the gap between the release of oil, the little master began to pump air into the tire and check by the way to see if the tire had been nailed. This process is still good, at least once checked that the tire stuck a nail, the nail head has been worn flat.
After putting in the oil, screw on the oil. Lower the vehicle, begin to remove the oil filter element, and then replace it with a new one.
Start filling oil, the old model Mingrui needs to add a total of 3L oil, the big bottle is left over from the last maintenance. Many people think that the engine oil in the 4S store is too expensive, and it is cheap online, but whether it is true or not is unknown.
Then there is air conditioning cleaning and maintenance, there are a total of two bottles of cleaning agents, one bottle is specialized in cleaning air conditioning pipes, and the other is cleaning air conditioning evaporation box. The vial is connected with a slender pipe and goes directly to the air conditioner outlet to spray bubble bathing. The little master is very careful, and the air conditioner outlet in the back row is also sprayed.
Another bottle is sprayed in the evaporator of the air conditioner. I see that some people are sprayed through the air inlet outside the car. I don’t think this is the correct operation. It is easy to burn the blower. The correct operation is to reach into the co-pilot’s seat and be in the central control position. Please ignore this posture. If you do all this, you can turn on the most upscale air conditioner and let it work for a period of time.
Remove the tire and start replacing the brake pads.
Remove the two bolts that tighten the brake sub-pump, remove the brake sub-pump, remove two old brake pads, and replace them with new ones.
Look at the comparison of the new and old brake pads, the old ones are almost worn out.
After changing the front wheel, start changing the rear wheel. There is a note that the last master told me, it is better not to change the front and rear brake pads all at once, because the contact surface between the new brake pads and the brake disc is not good, you can’t drive too fast.
Finally, when the tires are installed, the maintenance is over.
The computer diagnoses to see if there is a fault code.
After this maintenance, my bright sharp is full of new life again.
