Discussions about global warming are still only a theory. Sure, the winters are not the same, that ten years ago, and every year a new record for the warmest winter month. But severe frosts still perceive the inhabitants of Russia, and the less frequently they occur, the greater the effect of surprise. Every year, when the indicator thermometer drop below 20 degrees, the yard and parking hear the sound cranked wasted starters. What to do when it's very cold, and get to work just like a warm car? Before you begin to twist the key in the ignition, you should ensure that all consumers of electricity are switched off - lights, radio, heated rear window, a fan. To slightly warm the electrolyte in the battery, you must include lights for 10-20 seconds or a few times to open and close with electric locks. If the machine was up all night on the street, before you unscrew the starter, should make them one-two rotations, which will ensure oil supply. In cars with manual transmissions during a turn key clutch pedal must be depressed, thereby facilitates the work of the crankshaft. After unsuccessful attempts to start the motor battery and the starter needs a break, it's better to wait 15-20 seconds, and then take up the key. Eugene, employee service centers: "In winter, the parking lot near the house to me often ask friends and neighbors to help start the car. I have on these cases is always with a spray to remove moisture from the high-voltage cables, wires for lighting a low battery, and pull rope to start with the pusher, but last only for those who have "mechanics". When we start the car with ropes, I always warn the driver that is necessary to include second gear, and a little podgazovat after the engine is running. Then warm up the car on neytralke, not including the first few minutes of the stove, and you can go. " The owners of vehicles with auto has an advantage - they can program it so that the machine will warm up for 10-15 minutes all night every 2-3 hours, then it will be got without a problem and in the morning. But if the machine is already frozen, the auto-run may fail, and then have to start it as a regular key. You can also purchase a helium high-capacity battery - it costs about twice as expensive than usual, but in winter car plant with two or three revolutions. And it is an unpopular option - put the car in a heated garage. His unpopularity is due to the fact that the garage complexes with a constant heating quite a bit and rent a warm box will be expensive (5 - 7,000 rubles a month), and they are usually far from residential areas. Most often the reason that the car will not start in cold weather, a faulty battery. He can be oxidized or dirty terminals or a bad charge. In the first case would have to remove the terminals, wipe them with sandpaper and securely in place. The battery should be kept clean, especially the space between the terminals, so its a little dirt can be discharged. In the second case, almost nothing can be done, because the starter needs a large charge current. On the state of the battery is better to attend to before the onset of the cold season - if there is suspicion that he sits down, do not leave it for the winter, while in summer its operation is still possible. Maintain the viability of an old or defective battery pack or less, you can use nightly recharges, but it's pretty expensive. If the reason for the lack of ignition starter, then deal with it on the site itself can not everyone. Yes, and it is unlikely to obtain prompt, it is best to seek professional help. For a long time to turn the starter is not worth it, because it is dangerous to its failure and even fire. Between attempts to develop a spark is better to make short breaks in order not to overheat it. Incorrectly chosen, or time has not replaced the engine oil can also "put down" the engine. Service workers are advised of the possibility to change the oil in the autumn, if the time of his replacement should come in the winter. If you car is not serviced under warranty at the dealer, then find the right motor oil can advise on the official service, or brand-name company store. Better not to risk buying this liquid with the hands or unverified site. Likewise, keep the transmission oil, especially in cars with automatic transmission. Institution car in cold weather may prevent broken candles. Of course, provided that they have not changed, and they have long since used up their resources. The car with decent mileage could be a problem with the ignition for groomed high-voltage wires. On the old wires are formed of the crack through which leaves the current required to spin the starter. Because of this car "troit, twitching at idle and a little lacking in power. On older carbureted engines, or to lack the spark could be moisture under the cover timer - the water gets there through the cracks in the pad. The fuel tank in the winter is always better to keep at least half-full. At a gas station can get caught bad gasoline, diluted with water. Or abrupt change in temperature (eg, departure from a warm garage, cold snap) on the walls of the tank there is condensation. The smaller area of ??empty walls, the less water builds up on them. In the worst case, the moisture can get into the gasoline pump, and turn to ice. It remains to either wait for the heat or "defrost" the car in a warm box. But on the driver that day is unlikely to prosper. Best in the fall to remember old adage "Prepare sledge in the summer, and before the cold season, if necessary, replace fluids in the engine and transmission, as well as check the status of the wiring and battery. Otherwise, the severe frosts will be faced with a major problem, after revealing that people usually angrily exclaim "We had previously thought!»
