How to protect your car in the heat

Hot weather affects not only the sick and the elderly, but also on cars.

In the Ukraine comes the real heat. In the afternoon columns of thermometers will show nearby +30. But at night the temperature drops to 16-18. Such swings are not good for the car.

If not salluit some of the rules, the owner is in danger of falling into a costly repair.

The one who leaves the car to roast in the sun in the thirty-degree heat, it should be borne in mind that under the hood when this happens more serious temperature rise. Sometimes higher than when the engine was running because the Parking lot with the engine off, the air under the hood, almost not moving, and creates a kind of “greenhouse effect”. From elevated temperature may be affected plastic clamps, hoses and wire insulation. This creates a real danger of fuel leakage or fluid from the power steering and their subsequent ignition from a spark.

In the summer especially, try to keep your car interior clean and well maintained. Clean plastic better reflects sunlight, rather than covered with dust and stains from spilled soft drinks bar. Forgotten on the console, a pack of gum under the influence of the sun’s heat can melt and warp zalapa, for example, the monitor and control buttons multimedia system. Don’t place gas lighter in those areas of the cabin, where they can fall to direct sunlight. Overheat they explode loudly, suddenly, scattering the masses of the fragments of the plastic housing. When such “diversion” is on the run – close to the crash.

From any machine during operation there are chips on the windshield – even microscopic, invisible to the eye, but they are. And overheating of the glass in the sun, accompanied by thermal expansion, the chips concentrated internal stress.

At some point, when overheating of the glass reaches a critical value, the chip can cause the appearance of cracks. Recall also that include blowing with a hot windshield with cold air conditioned air is not recommended. From the thus established temperature difference cracked tens of thousands “of lobovuhe”.

The sun poses a risk to the paintwork of the car. From experience it is known that the enamel of red, blue, yellow and other bright colors quickly fade under the scorching rays. And black cars heat up more and is much stronger than light. Standing for a long period of time “laid” the car can fade the side facing the sun. In hot weather after washing “iron friend” must be wiped dry. Because every drop of water in the sun becomes a lens to intensify the “fading” of the paint.
