Expert Reveals Everyday Car Habits Secretly Costing Drivers Thousands in Repairs
A recent video by automotive enthusiast FRpassion highlights common driving and parking habits that could be unknowingly damaging vehicles and leading to expensive repairs. The expert details three key practices that car owners should avoid to prolong their car's lifespan and save money. Firstly, starting a car with the air conditioning already engaged puts undue stress on the engine during its most delicate moment of ignition, especially in warmer weather. It is recommended to turn off the air conditioning before starting the engine. Secondly, accelerating forcefully when the engine is cold is detrimental. Vehicle components and mechanics have not yet reached their optimal operating temperature, causing increased wear and tear. Drivers are advised to allow the engine to warm up gradually. Finally, turning the steering wheel to its absolute limit and holding it there, or parking with the wheels fully turned, can severely strain the power steering pump and other components like bellows and joints. This unnatural posture for the steering system can accelerate wear, leading to premature failure and costly replacements. FRpassion advises viewers to adopt these simple changes to avoid unnecessary trips to the mechanic and ensure their vehicles last longer.
