You are driving down the road and BAM, the annoying Check Engine Light comes on. What do you do? First, you need to better understand what a Check Engine Light is (Show a CEL on a dashboard here)
It’s what almost every motorist has to go through at one point in your car’s life: the Check Engine light. If this warning light stays on, it means that your vehicle’s computer has detected a problem that can affect your vehicle’s fuel economy and emissions.

The humble motorcar and other automotive vehicles have changed dramatically in their century or more of development. They may still run on four wheels and operate according to the same principles of physics as they did back in 1900, but so much else has changed. Would Charles Rolle and Henry Royce recognise the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan? Would Henry Ford recognise the Ford Focus? It’s safe to say that we’ll all probably still recognize most cars and brands, but what other challenges and changes await the sector in the coming year?

Hail is probably not one of the natural disasters that come to mind.  Unfortunately, this can cause billion dollar worth of damages every year to vehicles and crops. This is why it is important to use the right anti-hail cover to keep your vehicle protected from the damages brought about by hail. 

How to keep car safe from hail

If you ever find yourself caught in the midst of a storm, there are several things and ways you can try to keep your car safe from the destructive effects of hail. 

Many vehicular accidents today are revealed to be the result of distracted driving, and some safety experts revealed that in-car GPS itself can be a possible distraction. While easier driving car using GPS navigation is a big help, there are a few safety tips to help you enjoy a safe ride all the time.

A vehicle is not just a way of transport but it can also provide a sense of freedom or excitement. It can also give a person some responsibility over the car itself as well as the passengers they are driving around. It can also provide a means to earn a living, be it transporting a worker to and from work, or even making a living being on the road as a driver. Cars are a big part of our society, rich in history and have evolved tremendously.

A mass flywheel is a mechanical tool meant to effectively store rotational energy. The tool has the potential to resist variations in rotational energy. Generally, the quantity of energy stored in them is directly related to the square of its rotational speed. The energy stored can thus be altered by modifying its rotational speed through the application of the torque brought into line with its axis of symmetry.

There are two types of mass flywheels, the dual and the standard one. A dual mass flywheel is divided into to two halves, the reason behind the name, with springs embedded between them to dampen the variation in torque and the acceleration of the rotation. This smoothens the vibrations leading to a smoother drive. Dual flywheel often wears out easily and can be too costly to repair or replace.

You know your car like the palm of your hand: its curves, its edges, how it is handled and what it likes. But perhaps we can all learn a little more about the small details of our vehicle, such as the type of oil you need to have complete protection and maximum engine performance. See the car motor oils guide that contains accurate information about oils and learns how to keep your car in optimum performance and efficiency.

What Is a Car Motor Oil?

Previously, a car motor oil was just a mixture of a base oil and additives used to lubricate the engine parts, reduce friction, clean, cool and protect the engine.

The windshield car wiper is a device that adapts to the outside of the windshield, to separate rain, snow, etc., falling on it, to facilitate visibility. By extension, the name is also applied improperly to the glass cleaning mechanism that is intended for the same purpose to the rear window, since it is the same system. The first windshield car wiper models were adopted around 1920; they were constituted by a rubber spatula (usually double, to rub both sides of the glass), which was manually operated.

In the thirties, these devices were replaced by more advanced systems, mechanical, electromechanical or pneumatic. Read More

During harsh winter weather and extreme driving conditions, it is a good idea to invest in quality sets of snow chains. These aren’t necessary everywhere. As a matter of fact, they are outlawed in other places. But, snow chains are not legal in other states and several roads, some geographic regions encourage them and require them sometimes. Check your local law enforcement or highway patrol regarding the legality of putting car snow chains.

If you are planning to buy snow chains, there are some options you can choose from. There are also many benefits of using these. Aside from getting the best and right chains, there are some particular tires that should be used with chains, enabling them to work more effectively and efficiently.

Car batteries are basically the electrical storage units, which convert chemical to electrical energy. The basics how car batteries work have not really changed much in decades. These batteries are lead-acid design. Electrolyte or acid reacts with lead plates in the battery to generate electricity.

It also takes more power to turn a huge engine than small ones, so the battery has to be rated and sized accordingly. These days, vehicles have more demanding electrical loads from many accessories, computers, and modules and would require batteries with enough power for systems to work properly. Overworking a car battery through installing something that is too small to meet the power demands of the vehicle can cause electrolyte reaction to prematurely fail. Read More
