If they aren’t functioning correctly, you will not be able to drive safely because of poor visibility. How can you ensure that this necessary component is always ready when you need it?

Wipers typically last for six months to one year, depending on their quality and the conditions. Dirt and debris can damage the rubber parts, as can wax or soap additives. Ice and snow can cause harm to the blades, as well. 

Keeping your windshield clean and defrosting it before driving when the temperature is below freezing can increase the lifespan of the wipers. You can also move them away from the glass if you park your vehicle outside during the winter.

Finally, you can ask your service centre technician to recommend a quality pair that will provide greater longevity.

Here is a closer look at these important elements and what you need to do to ensure they are functioning correctly.

The intake system brings oxygen to the engine, where it gets used for the combustion process. Without enough air, the powertrain cannot deliver peak efficiency or hp.

The air moves from the grille or vents to the filter, which removes dirt and dust. Finally, it goes through a mass flow sensor before making it to the motor itself. 

All these components need to be working correctly. It is especially essential to have a clean and properly operating air filter. When you bring your car into a service centre, a technician can ensure that everything is functioning as it should.

Though they are sometimes installed for design reasons, they can also provide additional airflow to the engine. 

Here is how these front-mounted vents can help improve your car's performance. 

Cooling air

The hood vents can let in cooler, denser air as the vehicle moves at higher speeds. This flow can help lower engine temperature naturally without additional fans. 

Supercharging the engine

Depending on the design of the hood scoop, it can increase the pressure and speed of airflow, providing the engine with extra oxygen. This causes a supercharging effect that makes combustion very efficient and produces more power. 

Functioning as an intercooler

In engines with turbochargers, the intercooler can be mounted on top in the form of a scoop. It lets dense, highly pressurized air into the compressor and improves engine power.

The Importance of a Properly Functioning Anti-Lock Braking System in BC, Canada

And why is it important to visit a service centre if you notice an issue?

The ABS automatically pumps the brakes when it senses that the wheels might lock. Completely stationary tires can lead to skidding and loss of control on wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. 

Before ABS became common, new drivers learned to pump the brakes manually. However, the automated system is much more efficient than the human foot. It depresses and releases the pedal up to 20 times per second but only activates when the sensors detect wheel spin. 

To use the ABS in your vehicle, brake normally, but do not pump. You may notice vibrations, and you may hear the sound of the pads repeatedly tapping on the wheel. These are actually signs that the system is working correctly. 

A mechanic can check your anti-lock brakes, pads, and wheels during regularly scheduled maintenance. Contact our BC, Canada service centre to make an appointment.
