In the given management the term "additional maintenance service" concerns set of carried out works, instead of to concrete procedure. If from the moment of acquisition of the new car in accuracy to observe a maintenance service order, to spend frequent checks of level of liquids and details subject to the strengthened deterioration at the engine high operational qualities and volume of additional works will remain it will be shown to a minimum.

Irregular maintenance service can become a principal cause of abnormal work of the engine. Especially it concerns the engine got not the new car which was not exposed to regular checks. In such cases besides periodic maintenance service, it is necessary to execute additional наладочные works.

On maintenance service, or search of the reason of abnormal work of the engine it is necessary to begin any kind of works with compression check in cylinders. Compression check in cylinders gives the valuable information concerning the general condition of many details of the internal device of the engine which can be used as basic both for current maintenance service, and for repair procedures. If, for example, the compression is that that strong deterioration of the engine routine maintenance will not lead to restoration of normal operational qualities is obvious and all works will be reduced to excessive expenditure of time and money.

The list of the works which performance frequently leads to restoration of normal work of the engine is more low resulted.

Minor наладочные works

Check up a condition and level of all liquids of the engine.

Check up all hoses in a motor compartment.

Check up a condition of belts of a drive, if necessary adjust.

Clear, examine and check up the battery.

Replace spark plugs.

Check up high-voltage wires, a cover and бегунок the ignition distributor.

Check up a condition of the air filter.

Check up cooling system.

The basic наладочные works

Will perform all minor works and what are listed more low:

Check up ignition system.

Check up system of a charge of the battery.

Check up fuel system.

Replace wires, a cover and бегунок the ignition distributor.
