GAZZUZZ:Does this signify that I change the belt or change the tensioner ? The tensioner tends to vibrate when the car is on. |

Gurus in the hizzi for shizzy. Please I noticed a sort of line on the centre of my serpentine belt (drive belt). I will post a picture here to show what I mean . Please I need advice on what to do . Does it mean I might need to change the belt soon ?

LeJeun3:Warming up in the sense that after leaving it parked over night, then the next morning you intend to drive the car to work or something. You need to let it warm up a little and for the oil to circulate etc. |

How long should I warm up my car before driving? How long should I warm up my car before driving? It largely depends on the age of your car, and whether or not you use fully synthetic oil. Such modern oils are very light (as in, low viscosity) , and do not take long to coat the engine components. My car is already 8 years old, but uses fully synthetic 0W20 oil, and the car manual says to give it ten seconds before driving away. This would be the same for most modern cars with similarly light oils. Also, next time you turn your ignition to the ‘on’ position, before you start the engine, have a listen for the sounds the car makes. You may be able to hear a slight whirring sound - and this could be the sound of your fuel pump priming. It's important to let this happen before you start the engine. Give the car a few seconds (try counting to 5), before you start the engine. In my previous car, this sound was clearly audible, and when it stopped, I knew the pump was primed and ready to do its job. Getting into the car, and immediately starting the engine is neither good for the engine, nor the fuel pump. It can be a little harder to tell what's going on with keyless entry systems, they vary from car to car, but once the ignition is on, that fuel pump starts priming. Perhaps most important of all though, is that you should not drive the car hard until the engine reaches operating temperature - most wear occurs when a car is driven too hard when the engine is cold. So, switch the ignition on and wait maybe 5 seconds max, then start the engine and give it ten seconds. Don't leave the car running long before you pull away, but once you do, drive gently and accelerate smoothly until you see the needle on the temperature gauge rise a bit, and then you can start having a little more fun. This is far better than letting the car run for a minute or two before pulling away, and then flooring it! If you have an older car, running on mineral, or heavier semi-synthetic oil, you might let the engine idle a little longer, but I still wouldn't wait much more than 30 seconds before driving gently away. @gazzuzz 2 Likes |
