How to Start a Car With A Strong Frost? Several Practical Councils

The main problem for a modern car in the winter is a poor-quality oil that has been poured into the power unit. The car will refuse to start up and in case if it uses engine oil with a mineral base. At a temperature of -15, it turns into solid ice.

Experienced motorists who use cars in winter, use only synthetic oils. As an option - version 0 W. In this case, before pouring any new oil, it will be useful to know its "frost-resistant" characteristics.
Often there is a situation that on a frosty winter day the car enthusiast simply can not start a car, as the doors themselves in the open parking lot are frozen and there is no way to open them. And not having opened the door and you will not get to the ignition lock .

So, at the beginning the door lock. As practice shows, you should not open the door with the help of a signaling console. In the beginning, you need to try using a key to open the door, and only then turn off the working alarm.
In most cases, the car door lock is manually defrosted and easy enough - you can hold the key in the fire of the lighter and without hurry, turn the lock open. In this case, the use of a defrosting liquid is also recommended.

To start a car in the frost will be obtained only with a fully charged battery. In other cases, you can not do without recharging it. If the battery is OK, the ignition is switched on for the first time, then the headlights are switched on for about 60 seconds. Due to this, the battery pack can warm up.

Then you can try to start the engine. From the first time the engine may not start, but from the second to the third - for sure. This is the case if the spark plugs and the battery on the car are faultless. If the power plant of the car is diesel, it is mandatory to fill in a special "arctic" version of the fuel. Otherwise, the machine does not even move from the spot. Also for diesel engines, many different additives have been developed that minimize the effects of frost.

After the engine of the car has started, it is not necessary to start immediately. It is very useful, in a few minutes parking, thoroughly warm up the engine and transmission.

There are many other, very different ways. But the pre-start heater of Webasto power plants is very popular today. The cost of these systems is very different, and ranges from $ 300 to $ 1,000. If there is not enough money for foreign heating, you can buy domestic versions, the cost of which is much lower.

However, you can do with a more budget option. For example, a "heat accumulator". Its principle of operation is the following: when the power unit is running, the heated cooling liquid enters a so-called thermos. It is this stock of hot liquid that is released into the cooling system, before starting the motor. After it enters the cooling system, after a few minutes the engine can be safely started. This option will cost the car enthusiast approximately 200 dollars.
