With the changing of the seasons comes a change in the road conditions, so motorists need to be aware of the implications and adjust their driving style to suit them. This is particularly important when it’s raining and the road surface is wet.

While it is easy to notice some parts of your car gradually wearing over time and during its regular use, thinking of the tyres or wiper blades as examples, it’s much more difficult to assess the condition of the battery, until perhaps as the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, you find it faltering as you start the engine, or possibly even completely flat! Why do batteries fail? • Why they fail • What difference does the weather make? • What’s the answer? While it is easy…

The catalytic converter consists of a stainless steel housing and is a key component of modern exhaust aftertreatment systems for petrol and diesel engines. It ensures that harmful exhaust emissions from combustion engines are converted into harmless gases. combustor,hybrid Function Safety Depreciation Environmental protection The catalytic converter is responsible for chemically converting harmful exhaust gases from combustion engines into less harmful substances. Catalytic…
If we consider the basic construction of the spark plug, there have been no profound changes over the past 50 years. As ever, the spark plug comprises a metal core which is housed in a ceramic insulator... combustor,hybrid Function Environmental protection Depreciation Safety The spark plug plays an important role in petrol engines. It is responsible for igniting the fuel/air mixture . The quality of this ignition influences several factors which are of great importance for both…
A stop-start system is an automatic system designed to reduce fuel consumption. combustor,hybrid Function Depreciation Environmental protectionA stop-start system automatically switches off the engine if the vehicle is stationary, in neutral and the clutch pedal is released. The engine re-starts on pressing the clutch. On vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the engine is switched off automatically as soon as the car comes to a halt with the brake pressed. Re-starting takes place…
Looking under the bonnet can be intimidating for many people because there are so many elements that they may be unsure of. So, it is not recommended that you begin prodding around in your engine bay, because this could certainly be dangerous. However, there are certain essentials that you should be au fait with, because these are items that should be checked regularly and topped up if necessary. What’s under your bonnet? Washer fluid Oil Brake fluid Washer fluid The washer…
Multi-point fuel injection is a fuel-injection variant for internal combustion engines. combustor,hybrid Function Protection of the environment Bilder Unlike direct fuel injection , the fuel-air mixture in engines with multi-point fuel injection is formed outside the combustion chamber in the intake manifold. The injector injects fuel upstream of the inlet valve. During the suction phase, the mixture flows into the combustion chamber through the opened inlet valve. The right…
