Fixing Common Car Problems

Experiencing car problems will be inevitable, regardless of how well you maintain your vehicle. Certain components will eventually get worn away and will need replacement if your vehicle is to run in good condition. Here are a few ways you can fix most of your common car problems by yourself.

Replacing engine air filter

This is a very task to do by yourself. You don’t have to have a mechanic in Wondonga do it for you as it is not very difficult to handle yourself. To replace the air filter, you will first need to find out where it is located. This is usually located close to the engine of your car, so you will need to pop open your engine bonnet. To remove it, you will either need to unscrew it from its place or remove the clips to remove it from its place. To inspect the condition of the air filter you just need to shine a torch from behind the filter. If most of the light passes through, then it is not necessary to replace it just yet. However, if there is hardly any light that passes through it, it is time for a replacement.

Replacing headlight bulbs

Replacing your vehicle lamps is another simple procedure you can perform on your own. The only tricky part to this would be to identify the type of bulb that your vehicle uses. Once identified, you just need to pop open the protective casing of the lamp, and unscrew the old bulb. After this, you can simply just replace it with the new one to have them functioning again. You should test the lights to see if they do function correctly, before putting back the protective casing. If it isn’t functioning as intended, there may be a loose connection somewhere.

Replacing your interior air filters

Just like the engine air filter, this is also quite easy to do yourself. The filters are usually cleaned during your logbook servicing, so you may not need to perform this if they do an excellent job. If not, then you will need to first find out where the cabin filter is located so you can have it removed. This is usually located near the glove box in the more recent models, however in older models it may differ. For this reason, you should request that they print out a detailed instruction manual for you when you purchase the new filter.
