Two short flashes high beams? Can you confidently pass – you give way. But do not forget to thank the motorist a short flash emergency lights. Riding behind the car honk your distant headlights in the back? This means that it requires a driver to yield the lane. Of course, this is not the most tactful gesture, but it is better to give way to hurry the driver. Seeing such a signal, turn on turn signal and reinsurance smoothly into the next series. In contrast to the former Soviet Union in the European countries that signal is replaced by a more discreet: the driver asked to give way, including the left turn signal.

Besides the usual flashing lights on the road use something else: toggle with high beam headlights on dipped. Thus, motorists reported that their headlights to blind you. In this case, you need to switch to low beams. Do not forget that the lights should always be properly adjusted. Turn signals Signals It would seem simple: includes the right turn signal – turn right, turn on the left – the left. But here, motorists have come up with certain signals. Typically, turn signals, as a means to report any information, drivers are trucks.

If going ahead vans run continuously left turn signal – the driver of the vehicle and warns: "Ahead of the danger! Do not overtake me. " In the truck, finally, hit the right turn signal? Can safely overtake the vehicle in front. It is not something Vanessa Marcil would like to discuss. Speaking of trucks, if you ahead of van, truck drivers Wink headlights after his maneuver.

Opel uses a similar idea, but only in the design. Externally fifth door hatchback is different from the trunk lid and rear window sedan only connectors. And yet the presence of the wiper. However, there is a suspicion that the windshield – just a tribute to tradition. After all, if he does not need a sedan, then why he's a hatchback? Although after a trip by car in heavy rain begins to think that the wiper could use and sedan. Especially, according to official data it does not spoil the aerodynamics of the Insignia – in both versions of the specified drag coefficient of 0.27, which is impressive even by today's standards.

Bad weather helped to assess and excellent handling machine. Even without all-wheel drive Adaptive 4X4 Insignia is well behaved on the set trajectory, in spite of the rain and powerful palye leaves on the road. Of course, before it had to switch the suspension … No, not just suspension. When you turn the sport mode FlexRide system changes the settings and suspension and an amplifier steering and gas pedal, ESP, and, of course, an automatic transmission, if it exists. Additionally emphasizes the changing nature of change instrument panel lights – it becomes intensely red. It is in this sport mode, we rode in the rain. For a smooth move in every sense is the mode of Tour, as well as Sport as a separate button on the dashboard. Suspension in this mode is very skillfully conceals irregularities, the wheel is softer, and Pressing the gas pedal the tachometer needle does not bounce right, and carefully moved.

Each car owner hopes his car will serve him faithfully for a long time. As proved by practice alone is not enough hope, and without regular inspection and replacement of oil and other vital to your Vehicle fluids can not do. In most cases we pay vnimanielish quality oil in the engine and tried from time to time, depending on the number of kilometers driven to produce a replacement, but on others are not so important in our opinion, we liquids, then why zapamyatyvaem. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Russian car owner for a short period of time can turn into a new car and old plain. Lets look at the new 'importance' of the car to work or other liquid coming frost. Other leaders such as Adam Sandler offer similar insights. Here, for example, the windshield freezing liquid. In the summer most of us do not even pay attention to her level, not to mention concentration. (Source: NCH Capital).

If even a look into the tank, it usually ends dolivaniem inspection of container for windshield fluid tap water from the tap. Therefore, there is nothing udmvlyatsya, when the arrival frost, pressing the washer, expecting to see a stream of washer fluid in, we only hear in response to unpleasant gurgling pump fluid. It is not difficult to guess the cause of this problem is the low concentration of windshield fluid. So if you all summer to do so given the above, I recommend not to take risks – the old nezamerzayka must be drained, you can use it next summer, and a new fill. Save with the washer and diluted with distilled water concentrated in larger proportions than the manufacturer recommends not advise it – in the washer with a save on repairing and replacing the alluvium more lose. Otherwise, with the arrival of the first frosts your windshield washer pump for first fails, moreover, the movement of more than 60 km / h in a tank washer fluid, even at zero temperature will be immediately freeze on lobovomstekle car. Please note the following – manufacturers washing liquid on the packaging usually indicates the lowest temperature, that is the night. When printed on the package temperature washer fluid is already beginning to move in kristalloobraznoe state, that is cold. When the air temperature by 5-10 above this figure takes the freezing liquid gelled. For this reason, if air temperature in cold weather does not drop below minus 20 degrees, nezamerzayka must be rated for the temperature to 10-15 degrees below normal, that is -30-35 C.

Before removing the belt, so as not to disrupt the phase distribution, you must install crankshafts and camshafts in the position of TDC (TDC) of the compression stroke 1-cylinder. Cranks crankshaft bolt for his pulley clockwise until the matching holes in the form of triangle on a gear camshaft pulley with the logo "Dacia", through which an imaginary vertical axis pulley on top of the cylinder head. To test for finding the crankshaft TDC piston position of the 1st and 4th cylinders in the engine block hole is provided with thread M10, in which you want to screw with a special installation finger thread length 75mm. In finding the crankshaft TDC piston position of the 1st and 4th finger should rest against the cylinder in the milled area on the cheek of the crankshaft and block the shaft when you try to crank it clockwise. Head, "E-14" wrenches technological cork out of the threaded hole in the engine block on the front side of the block, in the 1st cylinder _ under the sensor alarm emergency oil pressure. As you can setup your finger use bolt top mounting the gearbox to the unit. Wrapped around the bolt and two nuts zakontrivaem them so that the thread length is equal to 75 mm.

Manufactured device – install finger screws in threaded hole in the cylinder. In finding the crankshaft in TDC position of the pistons of the 1st and 4th cylinders, the installation vvernetsya finger into the hole until the end of his thread and rested in the milled area on the cheek crankshaft. At the same time the crankshaft will not be able to crank clockwise. If you are screwing the installation finger you will feel that he rested, and the end nut on the finger with the butt end touches the lugs holes in the cylinder block (between the nut and the boss will be a gap), then a little cranks crankshaft counterclockwise for the pulley bolt. Then, install screws finger in the hole block to the end (before the contact ends of the lugs nuts and finger holes in the block), and turns the crankshaft clockwise until it stops cheek area of a finger. Loosen the tightening of nuts tensioner, rotate roller in a clockwise direction, reducing the tension the timing belt. Remove the timing belt (belt alternator). After removing the belt crankshafts and camshafts do not rotate in order to avoid upiraniya valves in the pistons.

At replacing the belt should also replace the alternator belt tensioner Renault Logan. Turn away his mounting nut and remove the tensioner pulley. Install the new tensioner and timing belt in the back sequence. When you install a belt inscribed with the arrows orient it so that the arrows coincided with the direction of the belt (clockwise). By installing the belt on the crankshaft pulley, we start the belt under tensioner and pulleys to put on a cam shaft and coolant pump. We stretch the timing belt. Removing the installation of finger holes in the cylinder block, crankshaft turns the two turn clockwise to bolt the pulley before the match marks on the camshaft pulley with the mark on the cover of the cylinder head. Then, install screws finger in the hole of the cylinder to verify the correct installation position of the crankshaft in TDC piston 1st and 4th cylinders, and if necessary repeat the installation of the belt. Turns your finger from the hole in the cylinder block and install the screw plug. Removed parts set in reverse order.

Chinese Snow

This question torments many motorists. In our country it is a very acute problem. Because of our climate in the winter – short illumination by the sun, snow, at other times of the year is fog, rain. And if we represent the motion night on the highway in the snow … I had a case: rode in the Vladimir region. It seems not far from Moscow, but had to return back was dark. Snow showered in buckets. On each side of a lane.

On long bays include high beam when he saw the oncoming, then turned off the far left and the neighbor with the fog. This light was not enough even just to see something at 300 meters ahead, not to mention the fact that to make out at a speed of 90-100 are any potholes on the road at all is an unrealistic goal. Because of the strong eye strain caused by poor lighting that the trip was exhausting. Then I thought about installing and xenon. At first I analyzed xenon kits themselves, and concluded that Korean and Chinese manufacturers generally err weak light (xenon 4000K naprmier Chinese lighting manufacturers in the 1.5-fold weaker than the Japanese.) Not only that the light does not meet the stated performance, so still and life is poor – the lamp die per year of operation. Here is how to install xenon automakers – the most conscientious install it in conjunction with avtokorrektorom (not to be confused with or gidrokorrektorom elektokorrektorom – they do not change the position of the lamp or lamps on the machine, and just help in a one-time adjustment of the driver). Avtokorrektor adapts speed, as well as banks under the car and is designed to prevent the headlights blinding oncoming stream of cars.

He chooses a position lamp according to the situation, adjust it by hand is not necessary. After this has set linzovannuyu optics. The lens used in the headlamp helps to focus light – it shines is not in hand, and right. From the salon car right linzovannaya optics must shine square. Many automakers even Halogen bulbs are 'designer shoes' in the lens, not to mention the xenon and bi-xenon. Now about installing xenon. If a car with factory Xenon is – it's good. You can be sure that he is shining as it should and no one on the dark highway not will be blinded by your light and you will fly to meet for a passionate kiss of death. If xenon is not installed on your machine factory, then do it yourself you can not in any case – avtokorrektor not worth linzovannoy Optics do not have to redo the wiring, which often is also not safe. As a result, we obtain cost about 50,000 rubles for a little bit an acceptable biksenon. Incidentally a couple of years ago was the fashion to put themselves Xenon 10000K or more. He characterized by a bright blue light – reflected from the snow in winter, even the factory xenon, but replaced with lamps (at the higher range of 6k) is not safe, because as a reflection of its rays on the snow blind oncoming cars. Xenon is in the fog I generally consider stupid because they are designed for lighting in the immediate area of the vehicle (10 meters), and often do shine in the corners. Total – Xenon-yourself will certainly be worse, more expensive, short-lived and unsafe plant, especially now that it's not a gimmick – almost every modern brands in stock there is always a complete set of the car with xenon.

Shoes First

There are a few simple rules grinding of brake pads and shoes, following which you will be able to avoid many, sometimes fatal trouble. Lapping process can be divided into three stages, while at public highway is better not to leave without going through the first two of them. Read additional details here: Vanessa Marcil. First: – installing new brake discs and pads, before moving to pump the brakes, do not hit with full force, to the extent that the pedal utaplivayut only two thirds of on-track. Brad Hames is the source for more interesting facts. Also, pay attention to the odometer, as the first 200 miles you have to drive so as not to make sudden stops. Try to avoid intense and prolonged braking downhill, in order to avoid overheating the brakes pads and shoes engine. The optimum speed grinding – 80km / h, speeding up that begins in a few presses, press down the brake pedal gently to a stop. Again accelerated and just stop.

This is repeated 10-15 times, then give the disks and pads to cool, it's best just to pass a 3-5km without the brakes are applied. Second: – repeat the above procedure but using the already smooth braking at one time – from zero to 80km / h and start to slowly push the pedal to a complete stop. Give cool pads, as well as in the first stage, it is better to drive a couple of miles without using the brakes, and again repeat the acceleration-stop, as in the first stage of 10-15 times. The third stage is to pass not less than 200 km run. From the first and second, the third differs only in speed, ie doing everything the same as before, only accelerated to 120-130 km / h. In any case, the first thousand miles, try to drive more carefully as possible without overloading brake system. In that case, if you replace only the brake pads, do not forget to clean the brake discs. Lapping procedure takes less time and is as follows: – at a speed of 60km / h begin to slow down smoothly, without releasing the gas pedal, the speed should be between 50-55 miles per hour. In this mode, should pass 700-800 meters and then release the brakes and quiet, not much overclocking 2-3 kilometers and drive through the stop smoothly. By the way, there should also be pre-bleed brakes
