Understanding Car parts

 When you take your car to a car garage dubai or service center, it doesn’t hurt to know the specific details and problems associated with your car. However, you’d have more clarity if you understand the location and functionality of the basic car parts. It helps if you look at a car parts diagram, so you know where the most important parts in your vehicle are located.

Let’s break down and understand the basics of car parts:

1. Battery: the battery is rechargeable and supplies energy to the vehicle's electrical system to start the engine.
2. Alternator: the alternator works by charging up the battery to power the starter motor, ignition, and all other electrical components.
3. Starter motor: the starter motor is used to start the vehicles engine by drawing a heavy electrical current from the battery, it is turned on by using the ignition switch to energize it.
4. Brakes: when the brake pedal is pressed, a pad of hard-wearing material clamps onto the brake disc slowing it down by causing friction.
5. Distributor: the distributor is a device in the engine which passes a high voltage electrical current from the ignition coil to each spark plug in the correct order and for the right amount of time.
6. Spark plug: a spark plug ignites the (petrol) vehicle's fuel. The plug generates the high voltage needed to spark the fuel and create combustion in the engine.
7. Ignition: the ignition switch is the mechanism for bringing about ignition in the vehicle's engine usually by switch or key. It activates the main electrical systems for the vehicle.
8. Radiator: The radiator is used for cooling the vehicle's engine. It is part of the cooling system and works by passing hot coolant through metal fins to conduct heat away from the liquid and into the air.

How often should you service your BMW car

 One of the most frequent question that many BMW owners have is how often they should bring their car in to be serviced.

For the optimal functioning of your BMW car, it is very important that you have a regular schedule for performing routine maintenance. This allows you to fix minor problems that turn into major ones if avoided and that could result in your car being off the road for several days. Diligently keeping up with periodic maintenance will also boost the resale value of your car.

Ideally when your BMW is due a service, the intelligent maintenance system will notify you using the range of icons on the dashboard. Check the status of a list of options, including engine oil, front brake pads and vehicle check, and when they require maintenance.

The following are the different types of services that are required to be checked in with:

• 15000 Mile service: This is called the “Safety & Oil Service” that BMW usually recommends that you do every 15,000 miles or 12 months. Your oil and oil filter will be changed and your vehicle will be inspected to make sure that it isn’t suffering from any fluid leaks.
• 30,000-Mile Service: After 30,000 miles, BMW recommends that a more thorough check of your car be done. This check is commonly referred to as the “Inspection 1.” It includes inspecting several components underneath your BMW, checking the tires and wheels, doing several kinds of verifications under the hood and inspecting the body and interior.
• 60000-Mile Service: After 60,000 miles, BMW recommends that the “Inspection 2” be performed. This involves verifying all of the components in the first inspection (done at 30,000 miles), as well as doing additional inspection work. This includes checking the parking brakes, replacing all air filters, replacing the spark plugs, examining the flexible boots to see if they’ve developed a leak and inspecting the car body for signs of rust.
• 90,000-Mile Service: Once you’ve driven for 90,000 miles, for most models of BMW cars built after the year 1999, the manufacturer simply recommends that the “Inspection 1” be repeated again. This means that all of the components that were inspected and changed after 30,000 miles will be serviced again.
