Help! My Cold Engine Won't Start
|
Your fingers are blue and cold. You slide into the front seat behind the wheel and turn the key. Nothing happens. Now what do you do? Call the car repair shop? Buy a new, better car? Or you can do few simple things to prevent this happening. By John Brent Gavino It is a cold Melbourne morning. Your feet are freezing, your scarf is so tight you feel as though you are strangling yourself, and your fingers will not work because they are blue and cold. You slide into the front seat behind the wheel and turn the key. Nothing happens. Well it is winter! Now what do you do? Call the car repair shop? Buy a new, better car? Or you can do few simple things to prevent this happening. Starting a car with a cold engine is easier said than done, and there are times it can be a real frustration, particularly if you live in the hills or areas that get exceptionally cold. Being late for work, missing deadlines, and not being able to drive the kids to school - these are just some of the things that happen when your car refuses to start due to a cold engine. How can you avoid this from happening? Cold weather will come; that's inevitable. The trick is not to let cold engines stop you from driving your car without hassles. When these three difficulties occur at once, it becomes clear that you really won't be able to start your car. What should you do then? Spray ether into the engine to help evaporate the petrol quickly and help your engine to start. Opt for thin synthetic oil, which has better resistance from coagulating in the cold. Also, park your vehicle inside a garage where it's warm and sheltered. Leaving it out in the cold is a sure-fire way to deaden your engine. Never miss a family or business appointment again!
