The Importance of Balancing in Vehicles

 

Some settings need to be made for the vehicles to drive more comfortably. Thanks to the technical adjustments required, the cars become more comfortable. Balancing adjustment is one of them. It is the setting that indicates the wheel area of the vehicle. When the balance adjustment is irregular, wheel misalignment and driving discomfort occur.

                                    What Happens If the Balance Setting Is Broken?

Wear of wheels: If balancing is not done and the vehicle is driven in that way, visible wear occurs on the wheel surfaces. As the wheel surfaces wear and tear, it causes the parts in the wheel area to fail. It affects the brake system. When braking, a late detection problem will occur.

High fuel consumption: Balancing does not only affect the wheels. The wheels cannot turn as smoothly as desired and have difficulty. Since it will be forced, it accelerates the fuel consumption of the vehicle. If there is more fuel consumption compared to the past, you may doubt the vehicle's balance adjustment.

Safety risks occur: Since there will be an adjustment that connects the balance and wheels to each other, it may trigger the risk of accidents. It may lead to technical reasons such as not leaving the road when driving fast, brakes not working, or the vehicle sliding left and right when making sudden turns. Balancing will prevent risks.

It is necessary to visit the services for balancing adjustment checks. It is not a malfunction that can be seen or understood in a short time. How to balance? Since there are researchers, there are places that do the balancing by installing it into special computerized systems. By taking the vehicle there, balancing can be done in a short time. If it is too late and the vehicle is used without adjustment, the wheel and some other parts may fail.

It would be better to pay attention to what is given and make your decision accordingly after checking the vehicle and examining some features.

                      1. Researching and Examining the Model of the Decided Brand in Advance

You should research the model of the brand you decide to buy in advance. Preliminary preparations should be made by examining the features and meeting with the person you will purchase from. When communicating with the seller, you can better understand the changes in the vehicle by asking questions based on the features.   

                            2. Preparing What to Ask When Communicating with the Seller         

Some questions before meeting with the seller are very valuable. It is possible to act based on the questions and understand the information about the vehicle more closely. Ask the person selling the vehicle the following;

                          . Why does he want to sell the vehicle?

                          . How long has he been using the vehicle?

                           . Is there a major damage accident?

                            .What is the general performance of the vehicle?

                         .When was the last maintenance done? Are there any problematic parts?

             

                          3. Vehicle Record, Damage Record and Mileage Inquiry      

After the general questions, it is time to move on to the basic section. Questions about damaged, missing or defective parts of the vehicle. Tramer registration is the main need of the vehicle. It gives better information about the vehicle whether it is damaged or not. If the mileage is very high and the engine health is dead, it would be more logical not to buy the vehicle.

                           4. Let me examine the exterior of the vehicle in a bright place

If you examine the vehicle in too much sunlight, you will not be able to see the scratches and you will have incomplete information about the vehicle. If the sun hits it from a very steep angle, it polishes it and scratches on the surface do not appear. If you examine in a bright area, you can clearly see the scratched parts of the vehicle and the dirty surface caused by sunburns.

                          5. When inspecting the vehicle, start the inspection by making sure it is washed and clean

If the vehicle is dirty, you will not have the chance to fully examine superficial damage or areas that are unsightly due to scratches. The cleaner it is, the closer and better the observation can be made. If there are many scratches and sunburns have damaged the surface areas of the vehicle, these are important details.

                            6. Be careful to inspect the vehicle's exterior manually and closel

Close inspections of the vehicle provide great insight. Close examination is essential, from paint residues on the surfaces, the functioning of the screws and other parts on the doors, to the sound of the engine by opening the hood. These may seem like small things to some. On the contrary, they are factors that will closely show the condition of the vehicle.

                           7. Take the Vehicle for a Test Drive

After the external inspection and some inquiries of the vehicle, it is time to see the performance of the vehicle closely. Take the vehicle for a test drive in a traffic-free area. Examine for yourself the engine power, gear shifts, roadholding, speed-dependent turning performance in corners, braking capacity and, if possible, the traction power when stopping and starting on a steep hill. Carefully evaluate whether you hear sounds from outside or inside.

                          8. Get an Automobile Expertise and See the Results

When buying a second-hand vehicle, the last step should be "Auto Expertise". By putting it through extensive testing, all damaged parts of the vehicle can be seen there. Minor damages or parts replacement are not important in the expert's results. Engine power, whether there has been a major accident or not, the quality of the replaced parts, has there been any damage that will affect the performance of the vehicle? After the general evaluation, you will now have clear information about whether to buy the vehicle or not.

The Most Common Automatic Transmission Malfunctions and Their Causes?

 

Automatic transmission cars, which vehicle brands have started to produce more and more, have enabled very convenient and comfortable driving. However, we encounter some malfunctions. Automatic transmission malfunctions are sometimes annoying. If it goes forward, it will cause extreme material damage, and if precautions are not taken, it will cause the vehicle to completely lose its functionality. Let's start by explaining the frequently seen automatic transmission malfunctions and the parts that cause the malfunction.  

                                           Causes of Automatic Transmission Failure    

Vehicles with automatic transmission are comfortable and the driving pleasure is extremely comfortable on long roads or in traffic. Besides being comfortable, there are also malfunctions that can cause major damage when they occur. In order to avoid falling into that situation, general maintenance should be carried out regularly and the service should be visited whenever a malfunction is suspected. The main reasons for malfunctions in automatic transmissions are as follows:

                               Leaks in Transmission Oil              

The transmission is linked to an automatic transmission. If the oil level inside runs out or leaks occur, automatic transmission parts will not be supplied with enough oil. It manifests itself with small leaks from under the vehicle. It is one of the extremely insidious malfunctions. It is difficult to notice by eye. If there is any stiffness, difficulty or problems in shifting related to the gear, the gearbox section of the vehicle should definitely be reviewed.

                             Problem of Lack of Oil in the Gears

Vehicles with automatic transmission work in conjunction with the transmission. In cases such as oil leakage and leakage, sufficient oil formation is not provided in the gear section. This affects automatic transmission. Since not enough oil fluid will reach the gear, time will be lost during stalling and gear shifting. The oil content should be checked periodically.         

                                Excessive Lubrication of Gear Oil Seal

Due to oil leaks or the amount of oil exceeding the level, the felt parts become excessively lubricated. As a result of lubrication, the seals cannot function. It is of great importance in smooth shifting of automatic transmission. If there is a passage restriction, the gears will wear out over time and reach the level of deterioration.

                               Knocking Noise During Gear Shifts

   It is the most common problem among automatic transmission malfunctions. There is a noise when shifting gears and sometimes an excessive knocking sound persists. Transmission oil exhaustion, leakage problems are technical problems that lead to malfunctions in the shaft parts of the vehicle. If you hear a sound or sounds similar to this, you should contact the service as soon as possible.

                             Gear Shifts Not Fully Efficient

     Since you use the vehicle constantly and feel its features very well, if the gear shifts cannot be done at a certain quality and sometimes there is difficulty, it may be the beginning of a malfunction. You can tell by looking at the gear shifting time and the acceleration of the vehicle.

How to Change Engine Oil?

 

               Engine oil should be changed in order for the vehicle to operate more efficiently, as it directly affects vehicle and engine performance. Considering old model and new model vehicles, there will be changes depending on certain maintenance times. You can change your car's engine oil yourself. Those who do not want to take risks will go to the service. How to change engine oil? Let us help you keep it in mind when you want to change it yourself by giving some detailed information.

                                  Checking Engine Oil

Older model vehicles should have their oil checked several times a year. Since new models have periodic maintenance periods, they will give warnings in case of low oil or similar situations. Oil checks of old vehicles are carried out as follows;

                       . The oil dipstick located in the engine compartment is removed before the vehicle starts.

                      . With the help of a dry cloth, the lubricated part is completely cleaned and the rod is fully inserted into its place again.

                      . Wait for a while and then remove the stick again to check whether it is at the desired level or not.

                     . There is a level section at the end of the stick that indicates whether the oil is sufficient or not. Looking at that, if the loss is large, it is necessary to top up the oil immediately.

                                    Engine Oil Changing Procedure

If the oil level is low after the above procedures and needs to be changed, it can be changed from the oil section on the engine cover. If you have the oil suitable for your vehicle, you can pour the oil yourself from the part under the engine cover and bring it to the desired level. If you have not changed the oil before, it is recommended that you go to the nearest service. Serious damage to the vehicle will occur due to incorrect oil change or spilling oil into different parts.

                                   What Happens If Engine Oil Is Not Changed?

   Engine oil is very important in vehicles. It ensures the proper functioning and protection of the engine and other parts that contribute to engine power. As the oil content decreases, parts may fail. If the oil warning is ignored and the vehicle continues to be used in that way, problems due to wear may occur. Parts and the engine start to heat up and fail to receive sufficient oil support, causing malfunctions. It goes until the engine completely loses its function.

                                               Oil Change Period

Vehicles have periodic maintenance periods. When maintenance is not done, malfunctions occur. It goes further and puts the vehicle in serious danger. There is an engine oil change period. If it is not done in those periods and you continue to use the vehicle, you will cause major damage to the brain of the engine. By changing the oil at the specified annual intervals, you can significantly extend the life of your engine. It is already stronger in terms of performance. After the last oil change and general maintenance, the service will give you a mileage card. When that mileage time comes, you will be asked to come to the service again and have the oil changed and routine maintenance of other parts, if any.

Braking System of Electric Vehicles

 

Electric vehicles have begun to enjoy driving in cities. Thousands of questions accumulated in their minds. The most serious of them is the Braking System of Electric Vehicles. Drivers have technical knowledge about the braking system of normal vehicles. When electric cars are completely technology driven. There are investigations that cover the activation of the brake system, slowing down, and what the driver should do in these situations. The braking system of electric vehicles is made using the Regenerative Braking System. It can be said that brake innovation has kept up with the modern age. It is necessary to discuss the subject of regenerative braking in more detail.

                                             What is Regenerative Braking?

Regenerative braking system is the logic of collecting energy in one place in electric vehicles. In the normal braking system of vehicles, energy is dispersed and distributed to the braking areas on the wheel. It means that when the brake is pressed, the energy is collected at a single point and when the pedal is pressed, it stops suddenly or partially slows down.

                                              How Does Regenerative Braking Work?

Regenerative braking system is the apple of the eye of electric vehicles. When we think of normal vehicles, stopping energy starts to be released the moment the brakes are applied. When the brake pedal is pressed hard, the automatic ABS braking system is activated and stops the vehicle as if it were locked. The logic is the same in the regenerative braking system. But the process is different. If you take your foot off the gas pedal, the vehicle starts to slow down. Energy is not concentrated at the exact point. When the pedal is loaded, the energy suddenly exerts pressure to reduce engine power, creating the perception that the vehicle must stop suddenly. Afterwards, the vehicle will detect it and stop itself.

How to Brake Electric Vehicles? Those who will buy the vehicle get information about this question by contacting the service centers of the brands. Braking system and stopping range may vary depending on the brands and models of electric cars. The regenerative braking system is the same. We see the braking system working with the same system in all electric vehicles. However, a vehicle can be selected by doing thorough research on vehicle models and getting clear information accordingly.

Things to Consider When Buying an Electric Car

 

These days, as we say hello to electric vehicles, thousands of questions have begun to come to mind. Things to Consider When Buying an Electric Car is the first question. It is desirable to research with curiosity and turn to logical tools. There are key elements to look at. Many features for electric vehicles will be active in the coming years. Right now, those who are going to buy a vehicle need to look at what features they should make their decision on and what they should pay attention to.

                               1. Range and Price Comparison

Range is very important in electric vehicles. Price research should be done accordingly, considering how many KM it will run and how much battery power it will take. If the money paid covers the difference in range and provides satisfactory driving pleasure, the car can be purchased. If the range difference is large and the charging power is not worth the money, then you should switch to different models.

                                2. Range Length and Charging Time

One of the important issues. Looking at vehicles with high battery power and low charging time on average compared to range time. In normal cars, you have the chance to drive 600-700 km by filling the tank. In electric vehicles, there is a battery charging time. Currently, the common battery charging time for all electric vehicles is approximately 30-40 minutes. It is a smart move not to buy without researching the battery power depending on the vehicle's capacity and range length.

                                 3. Determining Charging Points

In Gasoline or Diesel vehicles, you follow the oil levels and buy fuel accordingly. On the contrary, for electric cars, you will need to check the charging station locations. Logically the same, operationally opposite things. Research is carried out, including choosing the kilometers to be traveled and the places where charging stations are located if it is a very long journey. At this point, stations are being established in short distances suitable for electric vehicles. Charging areas have been installed in the same way at petrol stations of major brands. You should research them and reduce the decision-making time.

                             4. Great Attention Should Be Paid to the Braking System

While everyone was looking at the design and battery life of electric vehicles when they first came out, real users researched the Braking system in terms of safety. Braking systems in automatic transmission vehicles consisted of ABS systems with advanced grip features. The situation is a little different with electric vehicles. Some models even have a single pedal drive feature. Most electric cars can accelerate to 100 km in 3 seconds. Brake control must be activated for safety reasons. Most brands have developed smart brake detection and smart brake systems that are activated directly in sudden situations. If you cannot notice or make a sudden reflex, electric cars will automatically stop. Before buying a brand's vehicles, you should decide by researching their brake systems.

                             5. Tire Features Should Be Checked

After the technical specifications and interior design features, the vehicle's tires should be checked. Since the engine power in electric vehicles depends on the battery current, tires have become extremely important in carrying the weight of the car. Tires must be very good not only in terms of weight but also in terms of braking. It is divided into features such as sudden stops due to the braking system, slowing down and making you feel light on long roads. Decisions can be made by checking all of them.

Errors That Shorten Engine Life

 

The part that affects the performance of the car the most and needs to be protected 100 percent is undoubtedly the engine. The source of disruptions in the vehicle, poor performance and many similar malfunctions may be due to the engine. If maintenance that extends the life of the engine is not carried out, the sources of failure will become apparent over time, starting from the engine and spreading to other parts. There are common mistakes that shorten engine life. While sometimes drivers have to make mistakes consciously, most of the time mistakes are made unnoticed. There are many maintenance and repair works that need to be done to increase engine volume and make it healthier. There will be techniques that the driver himself must pay close attention to.

                                             Behaviors Affecting Engine Life

               1. Use in Cold Weather

  Act immediately by starting the vehicle in very cold temperatures, that is, at minus degrees. Since the engine does not warm up, if it is done like this every day, the life of the engine will decrease incredibly. In cold weather, first start the vehicle normally and wait for a maximum of 15 minutes for the engine to recover a little. Starting the engine and pressing the gas in minus degree weather is risky for engine health. You need to wait and then move the vehicle with a light load on the gas.

            2. Using at High RPM

   If you constantly operate your vehicle at high speed, the engine will reduce its capacity for a certain period of time. It consumes all its power in high speed driving and there is an incredible loss of idle speed when operating normally. This will cause engine power to decrease and acceleration problems even when driving on a flat road. It is beneficial to use the engine power at its capacity instead of high speed.

            3. Movement Problems and Not Paying Attention

  If the vehicle becomes hot and continues to be used without paying attention, the engine will lose power due to overheating. Overheating problems should be eliminated by changing the coolant at least once a year. Increasing the temperature in the vehicle will reduce the performance of the engine and other parts.

            4. Gear Shift Problems

 This is an issue that needs to be taken into consideration in geared vehicles. When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, it is necessary to change gear. A late gear change automatically affects the vehicle. It weakens the engine and if gear shifting is done late in short distances, overheating causes engine function to decrease. In manual vehicles, shifting gears in a timely manner will extend engine life.

         5. Routine Checks Not Performed on Time

 The vehicle has routine check maintenance. It should be done regularly every year. Take stock of yourself. You feel uncomfortable when your hair grows.

Ford Mondeo Overheating Problem and Solution

 

                         In some cases, technical malfunctions occur in Ford Mondeo models. While sometimes it is minor, most of the time it can become annoying. Vehicle Overheating Fault can be seen frequently in Ford Mondeo series. There are factors that affect the parts, such as not checking the parts that cause heating, and the formation of wear and tear over time.

                                         Heating Problem Solutions

               Water Pump Failure: The water pump prevents overheating by circulating the cooling water in the engine area. If there are cracks in the water pump or if a part malfunction occurs, the heating problem will increase. The pump part must be maintained on time.

                Thermostat Failure: Thermostat is another part of the vehicle that controls the temperature and relieves the engine. If the thermostat is faulty, the temperature control will be automatically disabled. At that time, the heat coming from the engine does not turn into cold. This causes too much heat to be emitted.

                Radiator Control: If the radiator is clogged or has various abrasions on it, hot air mass spreads to the engine area instead of cooling. It should be checked and removed if there is any blockage, and if necessary, the part should be replaced completely.

                 Crankcase Ventilation System Failure: The crankcase part acts as ventilation in the vehicle. If a malfunction occurs, the vehicle cannot breathe easily. Since there is no ventilation, the engine starts to heat up more than it already does and it cannot be prevented.

                 Fan Malfunction: If the fan in the vehicle is defective, it causes most of the heat to be kept inside and not to be released outside. If the fan does not work sufficiently or is not turned on for a long time, the heat in the engine will gradually increase. Periodic fan maintenance prevents heating problems.

                  The Vehicle Overheating Problem is caused by incomplete or non-existent maintenance listed above. In order for the engine to cool and relax to the necessary extent, it is necessary to control the parts that will prevent the vehicle from overheating. If maintenance is not done on time, heating problems will increase in Ford Mondeo and other Ford series.

Automatic Window Malfunction and Remedy in Ford Models

 

                           Ford Malfunctions Today, I will talk about "Automatic Glass", which is of great importance for the vehicle. While automatic glass is very important for the vehicle, it is associated with frequent malfunctions in some Ford series. While Automatic Window Failure is caused by various reasons, the problem can be solved by trying some small ways.

                                  Causes of Automatic Glass Failure

         Ford users who encounter problems such as Automatic Window Not Opening become anxious. If the automatic window does not open or closes late when opened, they can get to the source of the problem safely by performing the checks I will give below.

                 Window Sensor Must Be Cleaned: The sensors become large when opening the automatic window. When automatic opening is pressed, the windows lower and raise with the help of the sensor. If the sensors are clogged and no longer functional, it is time to replace them and maintain them.

                  Way to Reset the Windows: Resetting the glass can provide a solution in case of automatic glass failure. Be careful during the reset process. You must remove the "Negative" cable on the battery. Before the procedure, close all windows and turn off any other electrical currents of the vehicle. You should unplug the cable and wait for a maximum of 15-20 minutes. Afterwards, when you plug in the cable and start the vehicle, the windows will automatically reset.

             Checking with a Diagnostic Device: The electrical parts of the vehicle may be faulty or completely gone. It should be taken under control with a detection device by going to the service masters. If there is any leakage or similar in electrical currents, it is eliminated. Automatic window failure is directly related to the problems experienced in electrical components.

                    If there is no Automatic Glass Fault Solutions after all these checks, you should deliver the vehicle to the service or to the mechanic you always go to. Necessary checks are made and the problem will definitely be solved by checking all places where electric current passes. Don't try too hard yourself. You may cause other parts to fail.

Causes of Noise and Fault Coming from Ford Fiesta Steering Box?

 

                               There are some chronic faults in the Ford Fiesta series. Malfunctions that occur spontaneously or result from neglect of some maintenance of the vehicle may manifest themselves. Noise coming from the steering box is a problem that may seem simple, but if it progresses, it will cause serious problems. Precautions must be taken. There will be a few specific reasons for noise coming from the steering box. It manifests itself with disturbing noises, stiffness and difficult turning problems when turning left and right while the vehicle is in motion.

                                       Causes of Steering Box Malfunction?

              Decrease in Steering Fluid: There is fluid that helps the steering wheel move smoothly. If the fluid decreases in the box area and reaches the bottom area, strange sounds will be heard when the steering wheel moves. If the sound intensity increases, it should be taken under control immediately. It is necessary to check the liquid at regular intervals.

               Steering Box Seal Check: There are seals in the box coming to the steering wheel. If the seals become loose or excessively worn, they will make noise. The steering becomes stiffer automatically. It reveals itself directly while translating. The seals coming towards the box and steering wheel must be maintained.

                Checking Steering Parts: There are connection parts coming to the steering wheel. It is in common connection with the steering box. If parts of the box or steering parts break down, breaks occur between the two connections. Room makes the steering wheel move with heavy noise. Parts may require service.

                   The problem of noise coming from the steering wheel will increase if the control I mentioned is not carried out. You can take it to service to have it inspected and take precautions. If the sound is mild at the steering wheel, preventing it from getting bigger will save you from heavy damage costs. Completing the power steering connection and the fluid inside before it decreases greatly reduces the risk.

Ford Fiesta Fuel Leak Error and Solution

 

                       It is seen that some parts in Ford Fiesta models give chronic errors over time. It does not cause much damage, but precautions must be taken. Fuel Leak Fault can be seen frequently in Fiesta series. It is caused by situations such as lack of basic maintenance and failure to maintain the Injector O-Rings that cause leakage. Fuel leakage directly reduces the power of the engine. It prevents it from working at normal settings and problems may occur in other parts.

                                What Causes Fuel Leakage?

         There are certain reasons for fuel leakage in Ford Fiesta or other series. Cracking or minor wear on the injector O-rings will cause fuel leakage. Although it may seem small at first, leaks increase over time and malfunctions leading to engine damage occur. Having the part maintained at regular intervals will prevent problems from occurring.

                                  What are the Solutions?

        Checking Injector O-rings: If fuel leakage is suspected, the first place to look should be the injector o-rings. Because that is the channel through which the fuel passes. From there it spreads to other firing zones. If injector wear and cracks occur, the problem will increase.

         Cleaning the Injectors: Cleaning the injector for a long time will cause excessive dirt to accumulate. This prevents blockages and fluid from passing easily. One of the main sources of fuel leaks is not cleaning the injectors.

        Changing the Fuel Filter: The fuel filter has fine pores. It may even need to be changed several times during the year. The fuel filter will wear out due to intensive use of the vehicle, hard driving, and frequent use in dusty environments. To prevent this, it makes sense to clean the filter and replace it immediately if necessary.

         Those who experience the Vehicle Leaking Fuel problem have not performed the necessary maintenance on Ford Fiesta and other models in a timely manner. Parts wear out depending on the duration of vehicle use. As it wears out, disintegration and blockages occur. The first cause of fuel leakage is filter and injector clogging. Regular checking of the two sections prevents malfunction before it starts. Even if a malfunction occurs, it can be resolved before proceeding.

Ford Focus Starting Problem and Solution

 

                         Ford Malfunctions occur chronically in vehicle models for various reasons. The Ford Focus series becomes the most widely used model. In the Focus series, there is a risk of problems arising from the capacity of the vehicle and some technical parts. Focus users who are looking for a solution to the "Not Starting" problem try various methods. Most of the time, a direct solution cannot be found. The problem of vehicles not starting can sometimes turn into an advanced malfunction. Sometimes it is short-term and can be solved with a few small procedures.

                                  Solution to the Problem

             Discharged and Weak Battery: There are electrical components that enable the vehicle to start properly and directly. The battery is at the top of them. If the battery is weak and does not transmit enough electric current to the engine, problems with not starting or starting late may occur. The battery should be checked and, if necessary, charged at service maintenance points.

              Wrong Fuel Use: Ford Focus models are extremely sensitive about fuel. It is against the use of fuel that will affect the performance of the vehicle. If the tank is filled with the wrong fuel or very low fuel quality, the starting current going from the starter area to the engine part will not show good ignition. You should choose the places you buy fuel carefully.

              Checking the Ignition System: The ignition system ensures that the starter works properly and transmits the power received from there to the engine. Generally, the problem is caused by a malfunction in the ignition system. You can solve the problem by checking the ignition part and taking it to the service center.

            In case of malfunctions such as "Starting the Vehicle Starts Late" and similar problems of not starting, the specified places must be checked. Although there is a possibility of chronic occurrence in Ford models, technical parts problems in the vehicle trigger starter failure.

Why Does AdBlue Error Light Come On? What is the solution?

 

                          Adblue is indispensable for diesel vehicles. It is environmentally friendly. It also increases the performance of the engine in diesel vehicles. Why Does AdBlue Error Light Come On? If the problem is occurring, there will be several reasons. When you look at them, the problem disappears. If it is not taken into consideration and continues to be used in that way, it can lead to the danger of being stranded on the road.

                                            What is the solution?

             If the Adblue fault light is on, it means that there is a decrease in the Adblue part. A certain amount of reduction does not cause much trouble. If it is not checked and the decrease progresses, the fault light continues to illuminate. If you are on the road, you need to search for the nearest petrol station and fill up with Adblue fuel. If you have a long journey, you should call a tow truck and go to the petrol offices that way. Otherwise, the decrease in engine power caused by Adblue and malfunctions down to the exhaust section not working fully efficiently may endanger the vehicle.

                                             What is Adblue used for?

          What is Adblue? There may be diesel users who do not fully know. Adblue "Increases the diesel performance of the vehicle and ensures that the smoke flow coming from the engine to the exhaust spreads cleaner to the environment, allowing the engine to get rid of smoke and oil-like effects." If Adblue is low or not controlled, there will be visible differences in the vehicle. Driving pleasure decreases, engine power weakens, and very heavy smoke is released into the environment in exhaust emissions.
