What You Need to Consider If Your Car Doesn't Want to Go Into Gear
Have you ever jumped into your front wheel drive car ready for your journey to work and found it very difficult to engage first gear? Sometimes, you may get going and find that second gear is similarly stubborn. What could be going on here, should you be worried and what can you do?
Where to Look First
This is quite a common problem and, surprisingly, more so when the mercury drops in winter.
Why You Need to Act If You Suspect Power-Steering Problems
If you drive an older car, you may be used to the odd, strange noise here or there and simply get on with driving. However, some of these unusual noises should warrant your attention, as they can lead to very significant problems. If you notice a "whining" noise when you turn the steering wheel, what could this be, and what should you do?
Identifying the Likely Cause
Usually, the whining noise coming from underneath the bonnet when you turn the steering wheel is an indication of problems with the power steering.
How to Locate and Check Automatic Transmission Fluid Levels
The transmission system in automatic cars is generally more intricate than that in manual cars. If you own a car with an automatic transmission, it is very important that you at least have basic knowledge of how this kind of transmission works. This will help you gain a general understanding of your transmission requirements, so you can take steps to ensure it is well-cared for. One of the most important components of any automatic transmission system is the transmission fluid.
About Me
Hi, my name is Kim. One morning when I was in a rush to get to work, I discovered that my car wouldn't start. I called the mobile auto repair guy and he tried to jump start the car. The car still wouldn't start and I had to get it towed to a garage. The mechanic inspected and tested the battery and found that it was completely dead. At this point, I realised I knew absolutely nothing about car batteries and car maintenance. The mechanic explained about the different sizes and types and helped me find the right on for my car. Since then I have learnt a lot about auto servicing and I started this blog to share my new found knowledge.
