Despite the current COVID-19 situation improved, but for many people who still work from home, and didn’t drive anywhere. Of course, leaving the car parked unused for a long time it’s definitely not a good thing. At the same time, if not in use for a long time our cars may deteriorate as well. Today, Borneo has ‘4 ways to maintain a long parked car when work from home’ to leave all of you as said “We have to stay at home while taking care of the car”.~
When leaving the car park, if we fill up with less gas, it can be detrimental to your car. This is because the air above the oil level can cause oil to condense, as well as various humidity May accumulates in the fuel supply system causing rust. We, therefore, need to check the oil and transmission oil to the proper level. Normally, parking may also cause the tire pressure to gradually seep out, we, therefore, have to check the tire pressure regularly because inflating will help the tire not flatten or crack. Always check by moving the car forward and backward to prevent the tire from flattening at one point.
Keep the car clean inside and outside by starting with a microfiber cloth moistened with mild soap to clean the touchpoints inside the car such as steering wheel, gear, seat, door handles, and dashboard, etc. Including taking out the garbage inside the car to avoid smelling or inducing unwanted animals to cause damage to the car. Then wash the car thoroughly, especially if you have to park in the open air, should find a car cover from the debris that may fly down causing scratches, and protect from sunlight and heat that may harm the car’s paint. Parking should use the parking gear also, avoid using the handbrake because the handbrake may get stuck when parked for a long time.
While the car is parked for a long time should open the hood to check the engine compartment to check for errors, notice that the small animals in his dwelling have bitten various wires until causing damage or not? or is there liquid leaking in different parts? including observing the floor under the car for liquid dripping or not? Such as air-conditioning water droplets, deteriorated liquid conveying lines, or various gaskets to consult a technician for further repairs.
Starting the engine at least 1-2 times a week for5 minutes each time for various systems, the car has returned to normal operation. You should also turn on the air conditioner and press the button to use the system such as windshield wipers, mirrors, and lights whether they are still working normally or not? If possible, take your car for a drive in the neighborhood with about 30 minutes to go out and buy essentials to allow the engine system to return to work at full efficiency.
