Homemade cars

Compressor technology is becoming increasingly popular and in demand, because it is made of a wide variety of modifications and sizes. The power of compressed air is widely used in workshops, factories and plants. Home masters also do not bypass this topic. Homemade compressor units based on a standard compressor from the refrigerator are far from a new phenomenon.

All motorists, and not only, are familiar with the drug with the official name WD 40. People nicknamed it “vdshkoy” and is used as a universal means for displacing moisture, softening rust and removing corrosion from metal parts. With it, you definitely will not have problems with frozen, stuck or jammed parts and mechanisms.

I will show how to make a simple and cheap water-repellent or moisture-proof coating - liquid glass. Motorists have been using it for a long time, covering them with headlights, glass and all the pieces of their car. This coating is relevant especially in the spring-autumn season, when there is plenty of dirt on the roads. After applying such a coating, liquid dirt does not adhere to the surface and does not linger on it for a very long time.

Recently, compressors have gained popularity among craftsmen. They are made on the basis of almost any engine, calculating the power of the base unit, depending on the number of consumers. For home workshops, do-it-yourself home-made compressor systems are in demand.

Damage to the windshields of a car is expressed by cracks, chips and even holes. Sometimes this happens due to the fault of the air conditioner turned on in the heated machine, as a result of the temperature difference. But more often than others, mechanical damage from stone blows occurs during the passage of an oncoming car. How to cope with this disaster and is it possible to do it yourself?

The penetrating lubricant, which will be discussed, at times surpasses the most common tool WD-40, which everyone loves to use when unscrewing old, rusted bolts and nuts. Very often, when trying to unscrew a rusted threaded connection, we fail and the bolt breaks. This is not so bad if it is freely accessible and easy to replace.

Bituminous spots on the car’s paintwork are a real problem that must be dealt with in a timely manner. The body is especially actively polluted by tar with the onset of heat when the road workers begin their favorite "pit repair". It’s good if the spots are small, and they flew off from their own wheels.

Hello friends! Today I want to tell you another simple and effective way to extend the life of my old battery. We all know very well that an acid-lead battery is not an eternal thing. And even if you carefully monitor him, sooner or later he will still begin to fail.

There are times when the battery terminals become white or greenish. This is the oxidation of metals, it is also called electrochemical corrosion. At first, it does not appear in any way, except for an aesthetic appearance, but in the end, such corrosion can adversely affect the contact between the connection terminal and the battery pole.

According to the SDA, a fire extinguisher must be in every car. The following normative act: "Code of Rules SP 9.13130.2009", defines the volume of this device (for cars 2 l) and type (powder or carbon dioxide). The same document defines the procedure for placing fire extinguishing equipment. We will not quote, the main positions are as follows: a fire extinguisher must be in the cab (it is forbidden to store it in the body); the bracket must hold the car fire extinguisher securely in motion or in an accident.

WD-40 is a mineral oil based solvent. The product has a low viscosity, which allows you to use it as an aerosol and penetrate into any, even the smallest holes, cavities or cracks. The popularity of the WD-40 is due to its effectiveness and ability to help unscrew any rusted or plated threaded connection.

Even experienced drivers, no, no, yes, they will cling so tightly to the curb that they will scratch their alloy wheels. The situation is very common. Of course, this is not critical, you can ride like that, but it is better to make little effort and eliminate visible scratches. It’s not difficult, you don’t even have to remove the wheel. You will need a wiper or any other detergent and degreaser.

Today I will talk about how you can repair a cracked plastic car bumper with epoxy glue. This procedure is not very complicated, but it will allow you to save a considerable amount instead of changing the bumper to a new one. All actions are available to the ordinary car owner and will not require special knowledge or expensive equipment.

One of the reasons why the electronic key to your car may not work is the wear of the electrically conductive coating of the rubber buttons. This problem is typical for all models of trinkets, but, fortunately, is removable. I want to share my experience as I solved this issue. Necessary tool In order to restore the ability of rubber buttons to close contacts, the following materials and tools will be required: Aluminum foil.

Modern cars are equipped with various electronic devices as standard. But what if your car was released a long time ago when you still didn’t know about many accessories? You can modify the electrical circuit yourself, the main thing is to observe electrical safety measures. Note: Our material relates to a purely technical topic.

This replacement element has to be replaced on the car engine every 7-15 thousand kilometers along with the next replacement of engine oil. Usually it is attached to the engine in its lower part, and it is not so easy to get to it, but it is even more difficult to turn it off, since it is not possible to grasp with both hands.

Often, deep scratches appear on the doors and on other surfaces of the car, which intersect not only the top varnish coating, but also the paint itself with the soil. It is not possible to remove such defects using ordinary polishing or a marker. There is a painstaking but effective way of self-repairing the paintwork on scratches so that the repair site remains invisible.

With the advent of winter, a number of unpleasant surprises associated with this wonderful season are waiting for all motorists. One of such annoying troubles is the constant sticking of mud mixed with snow on wings and rapids. Such "stucco molding" freezes and turns into a piece of ice, which can prevent not only the rotation of the wheel, but also its rotation.

A tubeless tube can bleed air through a valve, the rubber of which over time becomes covered with through cracks. Usually having such a problem, you need to go to the tire fitting or to disassemble the wheel yourself to insert a new valve on the inside of the disk. In fact, if you make a couple of devices, you can change the nipple in literally 20 seconds, without removing the tire.

The appearance of an exhaust gas odor in the passenger compartment is one of the signs that the exhaust manifold has leaked. It is rarely possible to find an obvious immediately noticeable crack on it, so usually it all comes down to the difficult search for a miniature hole when the engine is running. The collector heats up quickly, so you can burn your hands repeatedly, and find a hole.
