It's going to be extremely cold outside, particularly at night. It's possible that you'll have trouble starting your car in the morning. However, there are ways to lessen the harm that cold weather can do to your car. The car's engine resembles a heart, so you should take good care of it. However, let's first understand why a vehicle, especially a car, struggles to start in extreme cold weather. **Why does a car’s engine hesitate to start in cold weather?** Winter usually comes hard on engines. One major cause is the reduced capacity of engine oil to flow through the system. In simple terms, engine oil usually gets thicker in the winter and takes longer to circulate throughout the engine as compared to the summer. Your car’s engine never had that smooth lubrication in the winter, especially in the mornings. Excessive friction would not be good for your car. On the other hand, the car batteries do not like winter either. The battery can lose up to 50 percent of its charging capacity in a night due to the cold. However, this is not the case in the summer, therefore, you usually do not have much trouble starting a problem. However, you cannot avoid running your car in winter, but some improvisation definitely would help you to deal with the issues such as failed starting or even engine problems due to excess friction that can lead to an expensive car engine repair. Service My Car not only provides car engine repair services but also provides car services like car battery replacement, car tinting, car oil change, car ac repair, car detailing services, etc. In case you are looking for car ac repair services in Dubai, and left wondering where is the best [car ac repair near me](https://servicemycar.com/uae/car-ac-repair-dubai)?' Look no further than Service My Car for car ac repair services. **Try to avoid long cranking while turning over your car** In winter, fuel usually takes extra seconds to travel to the engine, therefore, there is always a constant need to cranking up for more than ten to fifteen seconds and the engine is also in a cold state. A long crank, however, might get you the desired result. But, such events are not good for the starter, as it requires tons of power in a very short span of time to turn over the engine. Being a tiny yet powerful motor, the frequent long cranking may damage the starter. However, if the engine refuses to start, you do not need to press the accelerator. If your car’s engine cranks but there is no sign of it turning over, give it some time so that fuel can travel to the engine properly. For multiple attempts, give the starter enough time to cool down. Do not let your vehicle crank for more than a few seconds or for more than ten seconds frequently. Excessive cranking is not so good for batteries either, as they might lose their current too easily. If you are dealing with such situation more often, this is an instance of flat battery. Service My Car offers hassle free car battery replacement at very affordable prices. **Hold on to your car key in the on position sometime before turning over your engine** Today’s cars do not need to settle down before turning over their engines. However, there is no problem giving a car some time (in the on position) before turning the key to start the engine, just for a few seconds. Why is it necessary for you? Actually, in modern cars, you are allowing the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to inspect the whole system, including the external temperature, so that it can make smart changes. It just takes a few seconds for everything to settle down and prepare your car’s engine. **Keep most accessories off, especially in the winter** Electronic accessories, such as climate control or a stereo, need electricity, however, the alternator is the primary source of supply while the engine is running. On the other hand, the battery takes on the load of supply in case the engine is off. However, the battery itself tends to lose its capacity over night, and the active accessories can make it lose more. Therefore, it is necessary to turn off the majority of accessories for the night or even just before turning your car’s key. Though the battery might have less power, all its power would be available to start your car. And once your car is started, you can enjoy the service of electronic accessories. **Just keeps your car engine running for some time before heading ahead** After you have successfully started the engine, you mostly look forward to driving immediately, considering the extreme cold. However, there is no problem driving your vehicle in such a way unless you have to wait for the defroster to complete its job and clean the windscreen. But the best thing to do is to avoid driving instantly, not just in the cold but in every other temperature as well. You should not put your car’s engine into action unless it attains the optimal temperature. Though engines can manage lower RPMs or every day commutation but, when it comes to cruising on the highway or trailing some load, the engine needs some warm up initially. Keeping your car’s engine well-maintained in winter is up to you, it requires a few adjustments. Besides, you should also take care of routine car maintenance when you expect optimal performance from your vehicle. Service My Car assists you in keeping your car in great shape in any season, whether it is winter or summer. However, you can book a car service or order a car repair on our website or app anytime.

 The suspension, among the engine or the transmission had been a fantastic addition to the car because it makes driving even on uneven surfaces incredibly smooth. However, it usually gets less attention. However, the suspension may be prone to deterioration, especially if there are frequent instances of short-braking and driving on poor roads (filled with potholes). It might be carrying additional weight in the boot or on top. Continuous exposure to such conditions will have an adverse effect on a car's suspension. However, the suspension system in a car will eventually wear out even if it isn't frequently subjected to such circumstances. There are ways to prevent and learn about a worn suspension, but driving with one is still a serious threat. Here is a list of some symptoms that indicate a problematic suspension that may require repair. **Is your car drifting to one side?**  Though a drifting car is not necessarily a sign of suspension issues, it might be a sign of misaligned wheels, bad steering, or even tyres. However, it requires a thorough inspection to identify the cause. But it is equally dangerous to drive a car that is not under your control. Eliminate all the possibilities, and then work your way towards wherever the repair is due. A low pressure tyre might be a less severe problem. However, an underinflated tyre is visible to the naked eye. Besides, you can consult with a mechanic to get the best opinion. Next, the wheel alignment comes into play, as misaligned wheels always pull a vehicle to one side of the road while driving straight. Wheel alignment does not only get a vehicle drifted to one side, but it is also a major reason behind premature wear and tear of tyres. Get it checked or even a wheel alignment at the workshop of Service My Car. In case, you own a Hyundai car and Wondering, how to find the nearest hyundai service centre to get the wheel alignment service? Open google type [hyundai service centre near me](https://servicemycar.com/uk/hyundai-service-warrington) and you will find Service My Car on the top to get the best wheel alignment service in the town. If there is no issues such as improper tyre pressure or wheel misalignment, now look for the suspension problems. Your vehicle has developed damage to shock absorber or it might be a broken tie rod, control arm, etc. You might feel your car pulling to one side as you round a corner, as if it might flip over. These might be signs of suspension failure. Get your vehicle to a trusted workshop such as service My Car for a suspension repair. **Is it your car nose-diving?**  A car should typically be able to handle hard braking without much difficulty, especially if the suspension is in good shape. Additionally, nose-diving, when applying sudden brakes is a sign that your vehicle's suspension needs immediate repair. The weight of the vehicle shifts to the front as a result of motion, but this weight transfer should be normal under usual circumstances (when shock absorbers and struts are in good condition), but it may appear as your car is nose-diving. When you attempt to accelerate the car, reverse happens when you unexpectedly feel like you are completely leaned back. Besides, you can notice a suspension issue even when your car is static, for example, resting in a garage. It usually sits low on the side where a shock absorber or strut is damaged. Additionally, a car that makes a loud noise (especially clunking) every time it crosses a bump or takes a turn has developed a bad suspension. A weak or worn spring is broken entirely or cannot support the car's weight properly. However, ignorance will definitely lead to more damage and even catastrophic events down the road. Service My Car helps you manage your car properly.' **Is your car throwing challenge while driving?**  However, if your suspension is bad, you might find handling it difficult. But a car's steering problems could also cause a distraction while it's moving. However, steering and suspension share some sort of connection, and a difficulty in handling highlights an issue with either steering or suspension. A vehicle is out of balance due to worn suspension or steering problems such as low power steering fluid, damaged control arm bushings, etc. Additionally, you might hear some squealing or whining. Have a service centre visit with your vehicle so they can identify the issue. **Oil cover around the shock absorbers**  The shocks and struts may start to leak once they sustain some sort of damage. It is quite possible that the fluid is leaking if they appear oily or greasy, which makes it impossible for them to work properly. Get your vehicle to Service My Car for a quick check-up. **Opt for a bounce test**  You can take a suspension test to determine whether your suspension has any issues. It requires you to get out of the car and lean down on the hood with all your force. Try to push a few times and initiate some bounce. Once it starts to bounce, just get away and look out for a result. If it bounces more than a couple of times, you need to get your car‘s suspension checked immediately. Service My Car provides car maintenance to keep your vehicle running perfectly on the road. However, you just need to book a car service or order a car repair quote on our website or app.

Some people enjoy the winter months more than others. For many of us, who typically drive for commuting and daily tasks, winter presents a particular challenge. Having a fogged-up windscreen is the primary discussion. A dangerous windshield is one that cannot be seen through, especially when driving. Guess what might occur if you had no visibility at all up front while driving? <strong>What makes a windshield fog up?</strong> Condensation is the primary culprit behind the emergence of fog at the windshield. But how does condensation happen? When a bit of hot air comes into contact with the cool air or environment, condensation happens. The air inside a vehicle is usually hot compared to the outside temperature. Besides, the human body and breathing also make the surrounding air hotter. And when the hot air comes into contact with the windscreen, which is usually cool, condensation happens, and you find your car’s windscreen completely misted up. However, Handling such issues are quite easy. This requires learning these tricks to clear a windscreen. <strong>Utilize your car heater for immediate solutions</strong> You should check your car’s heater first. Try to use heaters in cold conditions initially and gradually increase the temperature so that air can dry easily. Kindly ensure that heater vents are pointed in the windscreen direction so that warm air could do its job with the help of evaporations and continue to heat up the glass so condensation cannot happen again. Be mindful with the temperature because too much would not be good enough either as there is probability of humidity inside the cabin. Just wait until all of your car's glass surfaces are clear before driving away. It might take a little longer to clear completely, but at least you'll feel a little more comfortable. If visibility is hampered, it is risky. <strong>Climate control system assists you in demystifying your windshield</strong> The windscreen demisting setting, which automatically adjusts the ventilation system's settings to produce the best results, is most likely available on the climate control systems of most modern vehicles. The temperature in a climate-controlled vehicle is monitored by thermometers. The thermostat, for instance, measures the temperature inside the cabin of your car when the climate control system is set to a particular setting. While switching between cooling and heating, it also regulates the fan's speed according to the situation. Besides, there are some specific buttons for defogging that you can use when there is a specific requirement. However, most cars, especially those old cars, do not come with such a sophisticated system. There are some manual tips you can follow to deal with such scenarios. <strong>Open your front windows a bit.</strong> However, you cannot drive with a fogged windscreen. So you apply a hack for making it demisted before going for a drive. But what happens when you driving your vehicle already and it start to mist up. Opening the window in such a situation can unquestionably be helpful. However, it seems awkward, but can cold air from open car windows demist a windscreen? Of course! In this instance, the cold outside air lowers the temperature inside the car. On those chilly days, it is not practical to leave the entire window open. Although you should slightly open your windows, let enough air into the cabin to reduce the temperature. Opening the front windows a few inches is enough. This works even better if your heaters are operational. <strong>Is there any solution to prevent such a problem?</strong> To solve the problem of the misty windscreen, you have learned a number of solutions. But what if you can avoid such problems entirely? There is a unique hack to get rid of misted windshields. This comes into play when players of ice hockey apply it to prevent fogging up their masks. However, it also works well with every bit of demystification on a windshield and any other glass as well. It requires application of shaving foam on a cloth and placement over the inner side of the windscreen. As it contains certain substances (surfactants), they offer resistance to water droplets at the surface. However, there is no resistance to the condensation. <strong>What happens if mist appears on the outer surface?</strong> Since mist can appear inside, it is quite possible that an outer surface can be suddenly covered by mist. It happens when you drive through a warm day or even a section of road with hot or humid air while your air conditioning is running high. However, it requires just a push on the wipers button to clear outer windscreen. Besides, your vehicle should not have any kind of crack if you are heading to the winter season. A crack does not go well fogging condition. You can opt for car windshield replacement at Service My Car at very affordable rates.

 When you assess a car’s engine, it is easy to comprehend that an engine repair is one of the more expensive repairs. However, there is a complex structure working tirelessly to generate force to initiate and sustain movement. There is a particular discussion about head gasket, a critical component rests between the cylinder head and the cylinder block. The primary responsibility of the head gasket is to protect the internal combustion process while blocking the coolant and engine oil from entering the cylinder block. The head gasket bears the highest load among other gaskets throughout the vehicle. It has to seal lubricants and coolants at the same time blocking the compression. However, a worn head gasket may cause catastrophic damage under the hood. Let’s take a look at the possible outcomes of a bad head gasket. **What makes the head gasket deteriorate?**  Though a head gasket is made of durable material because it has to deal with the extreme heat, but a vehicle often goes through frequent episodes of overheating. The head gasket is definitely going to receive some sort of damage. And, it may surrender at some point in time. A number of observations point out overheating as a primary cause when a gasket sustains a tear, especially holes. However, any problem with ignition that has been disturbing the combustion process can push extensive pressure into the cylinder head, tearing things away, including the head gasket. Besides, an improperly installed gasket is more susceptible to wear and tear. A head bolt should be screwed properly—not too loose to allow any leakage and not extremely tight to avoid any damage to the gasket. However, a diagnosis, especially for a worn head gasket, is quite typical because it is hidden underneath the head. Besides, a head gasket problem is always capable of doing substantial damage. Therefore, it requires expert intervention to figure out the problem. Service My Car is the right place for such a sensitive issue, where you get a professional inspection and head gasket replacement at very competitive prices. In case you own a vauxhall car and wondering how to find the nearest vauxhall specialist for head gasket replacement service? Open google and type [vauxhall specialist near me](https://servicemycar.com/uk/vauxhall-service-manchester), and you will find Service My Car on the top to get the best head gasket replacement service in the town. If you do not know what a blown head gasket can do to your engine, here is a detailed analysis. **A sudden loss of power might be dreadful in traffic**  A head gasket failure is associated with one or more perforations. So there would be enough probability that combustion would not happen properly when there is a possibility of losing some quantity of compressed air to the fuel mixture. If there is an inconsistent amount of fuel at each internal combustion cycle, the engine will not generate proper power, and eventually, the ride will be rough. This does not suit typical riding, especially in the traffic and even on the motorways. **Overheating might result in serious damage to critical components**  Though the engine overheating due to any reason (coolant leakage, radiator blockage, etc.) does not favour the head gasket too much, but, a worn head gasket too makes an engine be in an overheated condition. Due to perforation, coolant might find a way inside the cylinder, denying its primary job of cooling the engine. Besides, the exhaust gases that appear after the combustion process might raise the temperature further. A heated environment under the hood is not good for a number of parts, fluids, gaskets, etc. A car, if it is driven in an overheated condition, would be catastrophic for the cylinder head. And, when coolant burns inside the chamber and turns into steam, there is always a risk to the catalytic converter. These components may multiply your repair bill. However, it is better to sense the warning signs of a bad head gasket and take action promptly before things turn badly. **Oil contamination, specifically coolant into engine oil**  As stated above, head gaskets seals the coolant and engine oil when they perform their specific duties. But a worn head gasket may allow the two to infiltrate and mix with each other. Usually, a milky sludge appears in the engine oil pan, especially at the oil filler cap or around the dipstick afterward. Generally, this is a very strong sign of head gasket failure. However, an expert inspection is a much better alternative to finding the root cause. On the other hand, when coolant is involved in the act of contaminating the engine, especially during a drive, there would be damage to the engine’s bearings. It may require a thorough cleaning of the entire system and sometimes complete disassembly of the engine’s lower part to confirm any damage. As discussed above, a blown head gasket might initiate a number of critical damages to your car. However, it is up to you to be mindful and update yourself on the signs of a bad head gasket. If you act on time, you may be able to cut a lot of losses. However, an engine overheating, white smoke at the tailpipe or engine oil contamination significantly hints at an issue with a head gasket. However, take a professional service and be assured about the issue. You can call roadside assistance from Service My Car in such a condition.

 The cold weather might surprise you in many ways. When it comes to your car, winter has a special affair. In winter, your car usually reacts a bit awkwardly. Low temperatures do not behave well with a car while having issues with complex systems from the hood to the cabin. However, you can avoid these strange things happening if you get a clear understanding of the causes of concern. Here are some common issues that may definitely be your headache on cold days. ## Cold weather freezes the engine fluids  When the mercury goes down considerably, liquids inside a car freeze significantly and even become a bit thicker. Whether it is motor oil, transmission fluid, or antifreeze, there would be some sort of difficulty in movement. Therefore, with these slow moving liquids, the start would not be perfect, and driving is not going to be efficient. However, the engine needs engine oil at a certain viscosity for it to perform up to its potential. With the extra burden, the pump would not be in a great position to fulfil the request. You can make some sort of adjustment by opting for a particular type of viscosity oil, such as 10W-40, which is available in synthetic form. You can visit Service My Car for perfect advice on car oil change if you are looking for appropriate performance. In case you are living in Dubai and you are looking for a trusted [auto repair dubai](https://servicemycar.com/uae) to change an engine oil, we would like to suggest you Service My Car, the best and trusted car workshop in Dubai. Similarly, transmission fluid and coolant need to be the exact same thickness if you expect optimal performance from your vehicle. Though, these units usually grow a bit hotter if you run your vehicle for a while. However, there is always a probability of damage if your vehicle runs on thicker fluids. ## Winter is always harsh on a car’s battery  A car battery and winter are not very good friends. Amidst the low temperatures, batteries find it hard to provide enough charge to a car. However, you can avail of jump start as an alternative to these issues, but this process is not easy and can also take a toll on the health of a car battery if there is no standard process to follow. A jump start might put a lot at risk if it is not done properly. In general, a car should be jump started by a car with equal capacity. A difference might infuse the excessive power that can wreak havoc on an electrical system, though it is also not good for a battery. When the temperature drops, your battery will not hesitate to surprise you, especially when it is weak or has become older. Besides, it is always great to make an investment in testing your car battery or get a car battery replacement as soon as possible. ## Frequent leaks in tyre pressure  However, there is science involved in constantly decreasing the tyre pressure. As air tends to experience some sort of expansion in hot conditions while it usually contracts in winter. Though air is necessary for tyre pressure, there would be a lack of air pressure in the winter. It also hampers the efficiency of the engine when a vehicle runs with low tyre pressure. However, running too much with low pressure is not good either for the car’s tyres. They receive excessive wear and tear in such a condition. Therefore, you should be mindful of having your car’s tyre pressure checked more frequently. ## Frozen fuel lines in winter  Among others, a car may develop frozen fuel lines in winter. This is quite an awkward problem to deal with when there are already a number of issues due to the cold temperature. A frozen fuel line is a result of the presence of air inside the system, and it has gone chilled a bit more due to excess cold. Though it is necessary to understand the issue and apply a fix as soon as possible. You can check out the symptoms of a frozen fuel line supply. Most apparent is when the engine refuses to turn over, or sometimes the engine turns over but the car won’t start. In the event that the engine fails to turn over completely, the lines are completely frozen, and it needs some sort of intervention to clear out the line so the fuel can pass through. On the other hand, if you have been able to turn over the car, let the engine run for some time before engaging any gear. However, sometimes a car sputters after starting properly in the case of frozen fuel lines. It might be due to the lack of fuel supply during the combustion process. Be cautious if your car starts to sputter during a drive. Pull over and ask for car recovery from Service My Car. There are high chances of your car stalling during a ride, which could be hazardous. ## Low temperatures make rubber components stiff  Metal may get frozen at low temperatures, while rubber does not freeze as much, but these materials usually get rigid. Due to this uninvited toughness, they cannot bend enough and become more susceptible to wear and tear. For this reason, it is usually the case that your vehicle needs timing belt replacement or windshield wiper replacement more in the winter. However, you can approach Service My Car for any car maintenance needs. It just requires booking a car service or car repair order on our website or app online.

 When you assess a car’s engine, it is easy to comprehend that an engine repair is one of the more expensive repairs. However, there is a complex structure working tirelessly to generate force to initiate and sustain movement. There is a particular discussion about head gasket, a critical component rests between the cylinder head and the cylinder block. The primary responsibility of the head gasket is to protect the internal combustion process while blocking the coolant and engine oil from entering the cylinder block. The head gasket bears the highest load among other gaskets throughout the vehicle. It has to seal lubricants and coolants at the same time blocking the compression. However, a worn head gasket may cause catastrophic damage under the hood. Let’s take a look at the possible outcomes of a bad head gasket. **What makes the head gasket deteriorate?**  Though a head gasket is made of durable material because it has to deal with the extreme heat, but a vehicle often goes through frequent episodes of overheating. The head gasket is definitely going to receive some sort of damage. And, it may surrender at some point in time. A number of observations point out overheating as a primary cause when a gasket sustains a tear, especially holes. However, any problem with ignition that has been disturbing the combustion process can push extensive pressure into the cylinder head, tearing things away, including the head gasket. Besides, an improperly installed gasket is more susceptible to wear and tear. A head bolt should be screwed properly—not too loose to allow any leakage and not extremely tight to avoid any damage to the gasket. However, a diagnosis, especially for a worn head gasket, is quite typical because it is hidden underneath the head. Besides, a head gasket problem is always capable of doing substantial damage. Therefore, it requires expert intervention to figure out the problem. Service My Car is the right place for such a sensitive issue, where you get a professional inspection and head gasket replacement at very competitive prices. If you do not know what a blown head gasket can do to your engine, here is a detailed analysis.

So there would be enough probability that combustion would not happen properly when there is a possibility of losing some quantity of compressed air to the fuel mixture. If there is an inconsistent amount of fuel at each internal combustion cycle, the engine will not generate proper power, and eventually, the ride will be rough. This does not suit typical riding, especially in the traffic and even on the motorways. **Overheating might result in serious damage to critical components**  Though the engine overheating due to any reason (coolant leakage, radiator blockage, etc.) does not favour the head gasket too much, but, a worn head gasket too makes an engine be in an overheated condition. Due to perforation, coolant might find a way inside the cylinder, denying its primary job of cooling the engine. Besides, the exhaust gases that appear after the combustion process might raise the temperature further. A heated environment under the hood is not good for a number of parts, fluids, gaskets, etc. A car, if it is driven in an overheated condition, would be catastrophic for the cylinder head. And, when coolant burns inside the chamber and turns into steam, there is always a risk to the catalytic converter. These components may multiply your repair bill. However, it is better to sense the warning signs of a bad head gasket and take action promptly before things turn badly. **Oil contamination, specifically coolant into engine oil**  As stated above, head gaskets seals the coolant and engine oil when they perform their specific duties. But a worn head gasket may allow the two to infiltrate and mix with each other. Usually, a milky sludge appears in the engine oil pan, especially at the oil filler cap or around the dipstick afterward. Generally, this is a very strong sign of head gasket failure. However, an expert inspection is a much better alternative to finding the root cause. On the other hand, when coolant is involved in the act of contaminating the engine, especially during a drive, there would be damage to the engine’s bearings. It may require a thorough cleaning of the entire system and sometimes complete disassembly of the engine’s lower part to confirm any damage. As discussed above, a blown head gasket might initiate a number of critical damages to your car. However, it is up to you to be mindful and update yourself on the signs of a bad head gasket. If you act on time, you may be able to cut a lot of losses. However, an engine overheating, white smoke at the tailpipe or engine oil contamination significantly hints at an issue with a head gasket.
