Knowing Important Parts of Cars Helps When You Are Buying Used Car Owning a car may seem like a luxury to most people in the world but about 9% of the total world’s population is estimated to have a personal car with countries like Italy and US topping the list with 89% and 88% population of proud car owners respectively. The world vehicle population topped one billion for the first time ever in 2010 according to the data compiled by US publication Wards Auto. This enormous milestone was achieved due to a 35.6-million increase in the number of vehicles for that year, which led to the upsurge in the global registered fleet from 980 million to 1.015 billion. An increasing demand for cars means a huge surge in the use of second hand cars as well. Know Important Parts of Cars In spite of this huge rise in car ownership how many of us actually possess adequate knowledge about the parts that go into the making up this beautiful beast? Not only are we spending buckets of money for fuel and other commodities necessary to keep it running but due to our lack of familiarity we end up expending an enormous amount for its maintenance to the mechanic. Thus it becomes an obligation that we educate ourselves with few of the important car parts and their functionality. This is applicable not only for new cars but also for used cars. In fact the knowledge of car parts helps in buying second hand cars. Let’s take a look how: Engine- It is mostly driven by gasoline with the main aim to convert the gasoline into a form which puts the car in motion by combustion. It can either be an internal combustion engine like the diesel engines and the gas turbine engines or it can be an external combustion engine as observed in old fashioned trains and steam boats. Not only one should be aware of the type of engine but they should also gather information about its various parts. The Battery- Well without a proper one your car is just a piece of a scrap metal. It is the one responsible for starting, lighting and igniting the car’s engine. The battery is responsible for providing power to the car's other systems and is charged by the engine. The battery is also a part of the starting system, which includes the ignition switch, starter and neutral safety switch. Sulfate deposits on the electrodes can reduce the battery life by 30% and this result in the battery dying down prematurely without any prior warning. Thus one should be aware of these, more so in case of used cars. Brakes and clutch- Brakes are the most important part of the car with respect to its safety aspects. Clutch on the other hand transmit power to the wheels. A proper inspection of brakes and clutch is essential for used cars as they undergo a lot of wear and tear. Cooling system- A large amount of heat is generated within the vehicle during combustion and it is the job of the cooling system to dissipate this heat. It composes of thermal jackets, water pumps, radiators and cooling fans. Make sure that the coolant levels of used cars are checked before purchase Lubrication system- It reduces the friction that can be generated in the internal parts of the vehicle when in motion. Best form of lubricant is oil. Oil check for used cars are thus mandatory Get the Mahindra First Choice advantage!
