Boys and girls, it is very important that you know EVERything that goes on with your car...sometimes even qualified service centers forget to check important parts of the car. So it is your responsibility to verbally go through the check list with the agent when serviceing your car.
Frequent service (1-3 months) must check
-Engine oil
-Engine oil filter
-Gear / transmission oil
-Brake oil
-Radiator water!
-brake pads
Rubbers that must be checked every couple of months:
-All pipes under the hood, check for leaking, and replace every year or two if possible. The heat in this country spoils rubber pipes fast. they crack.
-Engine mounting rubbers.
-All barring must be checked. barring is the ring in the center of a disk that rotates on any circular mechanic that spins. Inside the engine.....wheel barring....they are all over the car. Anything that spins...has a barring in the middle...ring shaped....these spin because they have tiny balls inside of them. sometimes, some of these balls break causing the spinning device to screetch....and sometimes even lock-up damaging the car. barrings also on the wheels.....wheele spins too...has barring inside...must be checked. Check by listing for crackling or screetching noises.....you can do this by putting car in D and move slowly...u may hear small crackling sound...anyways..just ask the service people to check it for you....they miss out on such things alot of times.
-brake pads
-brake disks, if you car is more than 5 years old.
-AC coolant.
-Car fuses.....
also improtant....check all fuses in fuse box.
-Wipers...rubber.
