Vehicle safety review essential before July holidays. in addition to brakes, lamps, cooling system, tires, fire extinguisher and reeds, one procedure that reduces the risk of road crashes is the overhaul of spark plugs and ignition wires.. When these components are worn out, the car may malfunction. The most common are failures during speed resuming, difficulty in starting the vehicle, increased fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The alert is from NGK, world's largest manufacturer and specialist in spark plugs. Another important benefit of preventive maintenance is to prevent premature wear of vehicle components and generate savings, because the repair value, mostly, it's more expensive. With the vacation period approaching, the review in a trustworthy workshop becomes paramount., to ensure a smooth trip and avoid possible inconvenience, once, on longer journeys, the risk of failures during overtaking and retaking is increased.
A NGK recomenda a remoção das velas de ignição para inspeção a cada 10.000 km. Outdated spark plugs can damage other components, like ropes, coils, transformer, distributor and, even, the catalyst. "NGK advises that the inspection be carried out by trained professionals, that will be able to diagnose possible problems with the functioning of the engine, by the state of conservation of the candles, after a simple visual analysis", explains Hiromori Mori, NGK Technical Assistance technician. It is worth emphasizing the need to equip the vehicle with the correct parts, as each has appropriate spark plug and spark cable models, as described in the NGK Application Table or specified in the owner's manual. "The use of inappropriate parts can compromise and damage several other components. Furthermore, the exchange must be done by a qualified professional", ressalta Hiromori Mori.
