What Happens If a Car Is Not Maintained for a Long Time?
1 Answers
Failure to maintain a car for an extended period can lead to deterioration of engine oil and brake fluid, wear of brake pads, or damage to other components. Here are the relevant details: 1. Deteriorated or insufficient engine oil: If a car goes without maintenance for a year, engine issues may arise due to deteriorated or insufficient oil, causing severe wear of internal components. 2. Deteriorated brake fluid: Long-term lack of replacement can introduce moisture, leading to brake failure or ineffective braking. 3. Worn brake pads: Frequent braking during driving, combined with prolonged lack of maintenance, can result in severe wear of brake pads, causing brake failure. 4. Clogged cabin air filter: A clogged cabin air filter can lead to issues such as the air conditioner not cooling, not blowing air, or emitting foul odors; a clogged engine air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, affecting the car's normal operation.
