Possible problems
In early spring, this often happens when the air temperature rises during the day and drops to minus in the evening. Because of this, many puddles from melted snow can be observed on the roads, and the drainage system does not always cope with this.
Overcoming puddles on a car, the vehicle owner runs the risk of being in an unpleasant situation when water gets on the gearbox, suspension elements or the engine. As a consequence of this, a number of problems may arise:
- Freezing of gearbox parts. Moisture gets on the gearbox mechanisms, freezes and there are difficulties with gear shifting. This problem is also relevant for automatic transmissions and variators.
- Hand brake. Freezing of the parking brake cable due to water ingress is fraught with the fact that the car will not be able to move.
- Damage or rupture of rubber seals. If moisture gets on the rubber suspension elements, then when the temperature drops below freezing, these parts can be damaged from the accumulated ice.
How to avoid problems?
To prevent this situation from affecting you or to minimize risks, it is recommended that some auto parts be treated with a water-repellent compound. For example, it could be:
- A special silicone solution that can be purchased at a car dealership;
- Cannon fat - as a budget option.
By treating potentially dangerous areas, you will significantly reduce the risk of potential problems.
