Tune Up
A
car is essentially a machine, and as such, it
requires a certain amount of preventative maintenance in
order to continue to perform. A
tune up is a regularly scheduled opportunity,
usually once a year, to do all of the preventative
maintenance that needs to be done. Ensuring that your
car gets a
tune up regularly will
help maintain the performance of your
car and extend its life.
A
tune up generally includes replacement of several
parts on your car. These
parts may seem superficial, but failing to replace them
regularly can cause decreased performance in your
car, and may even lead to
other problems. For example, an air filter should be
replaced at least once a year; failing to replace it when
it's dirty will cause your engine to get less and less of
the air it needs to run properly. If the problem is left
unattended, the air-fuel mixture will continue to run richer
and richer meaning that there will be too much fuel and not
enough air in the mixture and eventually cause other parts
to fail. |
