Auto repair and troubleshooting car
-
In most cases, when I think of it, or even to guess, I'll pay the price. Although my guess is with 24 years of practical experience, it is wrong, almost 50% of the time. This means that I have increased my time of diagnosis, and winding exchange parts that were needed.
Which brings me to the resolution of issues that trouble the car. Getting a good auto repair manual and perform all the step-by-step diagnosis that the troubleshooting manual is available. If you feelWant the problem, do the extra step and test individual components found.
For example, say you are the diagnosis and the condition of overheating. Your assumption is that you must replace the thermostat. Why not take a step further and actually try to throw the operation of the thermostat in boiling water at him and when they opened? If the thermostat does not open, while immersion in boiling water, you know that this is not the problem of overheating. Ofthe same example, you can hear the fan motor must be replaced. Once again, we want a step further and test the operation of the electric motor of the fan. The application of 12 V to power the fan motor and grounding the negative side you can test the operation of the fan. If the fan motor turns on and manage, you know that this is not the problem with overheating.
The next step would be to examine what is the fan motor. In most cases this will be a temperature switchrelay and a fan that the way to the electric motor. Both the temperature switch and relay can be tested.
As you know from the examples above, if you can see the problems with the car problems, may have different answers to what caused the problem. Only advise and throwing the parts of the vehicle can cost more than if I had the car to a repair center and had somebody else do the work.
The reason that we have in our own car, and then run the do-it-yourself CarRepairs save money, time for the vehicle and learn about troubleshooting problems with cars in this process. Using the above example again, say that the car was overheating problem, a bad connection to the switch in temperature and the fan motor that I have seen work many times. If the fan motor and replace the thermostat, you've just spent about $ 300 in parts and work all day on things that do not need to be replaced. YourOverheating problem would solve FREE no parts to repair the loose connection.
To review the way we want to be sure before you do-it-yourself repairs that we are mentally prepared to diagnose correctly. And only the parts they replaced. Save money and repair the car can be a very rewarding experience. You do not cheat in this feeling of euphoria, launching a necessary parts on your vehicle.
