Items included in the first maintenance of a car: 1. Change engine oil and oil filter, clean the air filter. 2. Check whether the coolant level is normal. 3. Inspect the car's brakes and whether there are any scratches on the chassis components. 4. Check if the power steering fluid level is normal and if there are any oil leaks at the oil pipe joints. 5. Inspect the condition of the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the aging and tension of the belts. 6. Check the tire pressure and wear condition. Methods for car maintenance include: 1. Turn on the ignition before starting the vehicle. 2. Regularly check the brake pads. 3. Let the car idle for about a minute when starting cold. 4. Refuel in time before the oil light comes on. 5.

My new car just had its first service, and they checked and replaced many things. The engine oil and oil filter were changed, which is essential after the break-in period for a new car, and the engine carbon deposits were cleaned to prevent future wear. The tires were thoroughly inspected for pressure and wear to prevent blowouts due to uneven pressure. The braking system was tested for brake pad thickness and sensitivity, and you could feel the difference as soon as you stepped on the pedal. Various fluids like coolant and brake fluid were topped up, with their levels and purity checked to ensure the engine doesn’t overheat and the brakes remain reliable. All lights, including headlights and taillights, were checked by turning them on, and the battery voltage was tested with a device to prevent stalling on the road. The chassis and suspension bolts were tightened and reinforced, as they tend to loosen over time in a new car, causing noises. The whole process took less than an hour, was free, and gave me peace of mind. The car drives much smoother now, and fuel consumption has dropped. The first service for a new car is crucial—don’t delay it to keep your car youthful and vibrant.

Remember to remind your neighbor about the first maintenance. The maintenance items at this stage are few but crucial. Start by replacing the oil filter to remove residual impurities from the engine; adjust the tire pressure and check for any abnormal wear to ensure peace of mind on long trips; inspect the thickness of the brake pads and the flatness of the discs to prevent skidding during sudden braking. Check the levels of coolant and brake fluid, topping up if low; test the battery and lighting system to ensure stable power without flickering; tighten chassis components to prevent loosening. The first maintenance for a new car offers great benefits, extending engine life and reducing repair costs, making the driving feel smoother afterward. Visit the 4S shop on time, don’t exceed the mileage, and keep the car healthy to save yourself trouble.

The basic items for the first car maintenance include oil change and filter cleaning to protect the engine core. Tire pressure and balance checks prevent deviation; brake system inspection ensures proper alignment of pads and discs; various fluids such as coolant are checked and topped up; lighting and battery operation tests ensure normal function; chassis bolts are tightened. The entire process is simple and efficient, preventing minor issues from escalating. It is recommended to complete the maintenance within the specified time in the new car manual for safety.

What are the reasons why the van air conditioner is not cooling?

Reasons: Refrigerant leakage; In this case, you can replace the expansion valve and re-tighten the leaking high-pressure pipe connection. The air conditioning compressor has been used for a long time and has accumulated too much dust inside, so it should be repaired at an auto repair shop. Car air conditioning maintenance methods: 1. Comprehensive inspection of the air conditioner: When using the air conditioner for the first time in summer, first inspect the air conditioning system, such as checking the refrigerant and whether the air filter is too dirty or if there are foreign objects in the radiator through the liquid storage tank. 2. Pay attention to the cleaning of the air conditioner: The air filter should be replaced regularly. In areas with a lot of sand and dust, and where catkins are flying, they can stick to the filter, easily breeding bacteria and causing a musty smell in the air conditioner. In addition, the condenser should also be cleaned regularly, and the water tank should be removed for thorough cleaning. 3. Turn off the air conditioner in advance: After parking, do not turn off the air conditioner immediately. Generally, after reaching the destination, the owner turns off the air conditioner and leaves directly. Unlike in autumn and winter, the huge temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car in the hot summer can cause the air conditioning system to mold, leading to the growth of mold. Therefore, the owner should turn off the cold air a few minutes before reaching the destination, turn on the natural wind, allow the temperature in the air conditioning pipes to rise, eliminate the temperature difference with the outside, and thus maintain the relative dryness of the air conditioning system to avoid mold growth.
