What to Do When Your Car Won't Start in Cold Weather?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why a car won't start in cold weather and their solutions: 1. Battery power issue. Due to shedding of battery plates or incorrect acid-base balance ratio, the battery may not hold enough charge. Solution: Regularly check the battery. If the battery has been completely drained more than twice, it is recommended to replace it with a new one. 2. Carbon deposits. Long-term driving in low temperatures, using low-quality gasoline, prolonged vehicle use, or burning engine oil can easily lead to carbon buildup. Solution: Use professional gasoline additives designed to clean carbon deposits. 3. Frozen exhaust pipe or excessive carbon deposits on the valves. Solution: Drive on the highway every weekend during winter to use strong exhaust force to promptly remove accumulated water in the exhaust pipe. 4. Restricted engine oil flow. Solution: Visit a specialized shop for professional winter maintenance and replace the engine oil with an appropriate type based on local conditions.
