The real cold has come, and for many drivers, starting a car that has stood overnight in the yard has become a problem. There is an opinion that the longer it warms up, the better. But an auto mechanic with more than 30 years of experience, Anatoly Mikhailov, believes that this only applies to old carburetor engines. But modern engines no longer require “boiling” and they can start “with half a poke”.
“But this does not mean that the car does not need to be heated at all. After all, warming up is needed not only for the engine, but also for the gearbox, power steering and chassis elements. It is best to warm up the engine for 1-2 minutes, and then start a smooth movement without high speeds, ”the mechanic shared his experience.
According to him, reckless can not be earlier than the thermometer shows 50 degrees. He also recalled that prolonged idling is fraught with contamination of the combustion chamber.
In addition, according to the rules of the road, it is forbidden to stand for a long time with the engine running in residential areas. The same applies to schools and kindergartens.
Previously, drivers were told which fine can be appealed because of the snow.
