Some times the rough and over-use of electrical equipments might hamper the performance of the car battery therefore, it is necessary for the car owners to keep the car battery up to date and get it checked at regular intervals. Being the most vital part of the car, the car battery needs to function every time. If the car battery stops working the car would not start and also the car battery provides requirement source of energy to lights and other accessories in the car. During the winter season, the battery of the car can drain that might low down the car functioning or could totally hamper the car functioning. Here are some tips that would guide you to maintain the car battery.

 
1) Check the water level: For a car battery water has the most crucial role to go with. During summers check the water level in your car battery once in a week, while in winters you can check the water level of the car once in a month. If the vent cap opening of the car is below the built indicator. If you water level in the car battery quite low the available high concentration of sulphuric acid can hamper its performance.

 
2) Alternator Belt: Alternator Belt in the car is another crucial point of concentration in the car. If the alternator belt in the car battery gets stretched and becomes slippery, it is unable to produce consistent energy supply in the car. Ensure the belt of the car being checked at regular intervals as suggested by the manufacturer or at every service.

 
3) Cable Clamps: If the cable camps of the car gets rusted they might hamper the car battery performance due to less connection and loss of power. If the corrode is totally ignored it can result in total power loss. To avoid this you can clean the cable clamps with a brush and wire brush. When you clean the cable clamps coat the clamps with silicon grease, vaseline or petroleum grease, this will help in slow corrosion.

 
4) Battery Cease: Battery Case is also one of the most crucial parts of the overall battery performance. The film moisture, dirt or grease coasting over the terminals of car battery might get some leakages in the battery even when the car is not in use. You can remove the dirt around battery case and around terminals with water but make sure that the water does not enter into the vent holes of the battery. For removing the corrosion, you can use a stiff brush.

Car Tip: How to drive on hills? - LatestCarsWallpapers

<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-15443" style="margin: 8px;" title="Driving on Hills" src="http://www.carzy.co.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/driving_to_Hamachal-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />Driving on hills or terrains is one of the toughest tasks for any car driver. Hills not only have bumpy and zigzag tracks but also lack proper lighting on roads that makes the driving more scary and risky. Hence, it necessary that we follow a proper driving pattern in order to avoid accidents. Here are some tips that you should follow while going on hills:

 
1) While approaching the hills ensure that you drive on a limited speed and beware as there can be some sharp turns. Most often drivers neglect the sharp turns ahead that in turn endanger their life. While traveling in nights on hills, the visibility of turns is extremely poor which can cause accidents, therefore be alarmed to drive on the sharp turns tactfully.

 
2) While moving upwards on a hill, ensure that you drive the car on a high gear transmission as this would enable the car to move upwards easily and churn more torque. If the gear transmission is too low, the tires start spinning asymmetrically. The best gear transmission pattern while driving on hills is driving on 3rd gear while moving up and 1st gear while coming down with an automatic transmission, whereas in the manual transmission it should be 2nd gear while moving upwards and 1st gear while stepping downwards.

 
3) In order to keep the vehicle well balanced, try to keep the vehicle parallel with the slope. The proper parallel combination of your vehicle and slope will not only distribute the vehicle’s weight on the chassis but also it will avail a proper traction to all the four wheels. Furthermore, when the vehicle is following downwards limit your acceleration to keep the car balanced and low down the speed.

 
4) If the vehicle does not have automatic adjustable headlamps, keep the high beam lights turned on while moving upwards on the hill and when you move downwards, switch on the low beam lights. During night traveling, high beams cover a longer distance while moving upwards and low beams give better visibility while sloping downwards.

 
5) When you park the vehicle on a hill, ensure that you turn off then engine and apply a gear or apply the hand brakes. For additional braking assistance, you can place rocks or logs beneath the wheels.

Car Tip: How to increase the engine power of your car - LatestCarsWallpapers

Car engines in India are generally available in 4 – cylinders, 6 – cylinders, 8 – cylinders and 10 – cylinders. Moreover, some of the expensive cars like Rolls-Royce and Buggati Veyron have more cylinders loaded in the engine which boost the performance of the car. It is not necessary that cars with more cylinders would deliver better performance. You can accelerate the performance and engine power of your car by following some engine power boosting tips. Here, we have brought few tips for our visitors that will help you to mount up the horsepower or engine power of your car: -

 
1) Always prefer a superior quality of fuel as it delivers phenomenal performance, thereby availing a better acceleration and pick up. When you use a higher octane gas, the combustion in the engine is quite high that avails the vehicles with more power and acceleration, whereas, the low octane gas in a cheaper fuel lows down the performance to a greater extent.

 
2) Oil changes at frequent intervals is another factor that fluctuates the engine power. Always prefer to change the engine oil as per the manufacturers suggest oil changing tenure. If the engine oil is not changed at the distance span as suggested by the manufacturer, the engine horsepower can low down abruptly. This happens due to the sludge which chokes the engine thereby, churning lesser power and torque.

 
3) As the fit and fine human body can work more, the fit & fine engine too churns better performance and torque. It is advisable to keep your car engine tuned up. Getting car serviced at frequent intervals keeps the engine in routine and maintains a better flow of performance. If the car is not serviced at regular intervals, the power churning capacity of the engine starts declining and might also have problems like engine skidding and increase in time of starting car. Always make sure that your car is serviced atleast twice in a year.

 
4) In winter season, the engine gets chilled and takes time to start the vehicle, therefore start the vehicle and keep it still for a minute and accelerate. This would maintain the oil flow and fluidity in the car engine.

Car Tip: How to improve fuel economy? - LatestCarsWallpapers

<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23350" style="margin: 8px;" title="Improving fuel economy" src="http://www.carzy.co.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/improving-fuel-economy.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="250" />The consistent economy driven fluctuations had adverse affect on the fuel prices. With the recurring hike in the fuel prices, the car owners are left with the option to develop a decent fuel economy. To combat with the fuel prices hike, you can follow the given tips to improve the fuel efficiency of your car: -

 
1) Use low grade fuel: Most often, fuel attendants convince the car owners to go for high grade fuels like “Xtra – Premium”, “Speed” etc. It is not sure whether these fuel grades would increase the fuel efficiency of your car, therefore, always get the normal fuel added in your car. Adding high octane fuel is not only the wastage of money, but also it can hamper the performance of car engine. For better engine performance and fuel economy, try to stick with one fuel brand.

 
2) Proper car maintenance: Proper maintenance of your car plays most important role in providing better fuel economy. You should always get your car serviced at regular intervals, as per the manufacturer’s instruction. The regular service check up of your car keeps your safe and incurs lesser cost of maintenance.  The air filters of your car should be cleaned at regular intervals to avoid any sort of dust coating, as dirty filters might have adverse affect on engine, walls and piston.

 
3) Proper tyre pressure : For better fuel economy, always ensure that the tyres of your car are properly inflated. Tyres with lesser air-pressure, require more energy to roll, hence you should always maintain the air-pressure in the tyres to enhance the performance of your car. If your car is carrying any extra weight in the boot, remove it, this will make the tyres to roll quite easily. As per the Department of Energy (DOE) statistics, extra weight of 45 kg, low downs the mileage upto 2 percent.

 
4) Slow down : The faster you drive, the less is the fuel efficiency. Always drive slowly as per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Driving 8 kph above the speed limit can have an impact on the fuel economy of your car by 23%. Similarly, high acceleration consumes more fuel, therefore, ensure accelerating gradually and in a limit.

Car Tip: How to Make Your Diesel Car Driving Experience More Superior - LatestCarsWallpapers

Due to skyrocketing petrol prices, diesel has become the pressing need for the day. But driving a diesel car is not that simple as you may think. Though currently less noisy and more advanced diesel engines are being developed but driving them is still a very dissimilar experience as compared to a petrol car due to power delivery difference between both types of engines. Well you don’t bother as we are here with few tips in order to get the best from your diesel car.

 
The first thing you need to do is to control your destructive habit of driving, as diesel cars have a lot of torque even on very low rpm and your go-fast approach will cost about 2-litres more per 100 kilometres. Secondly you should take care that your car is running efficiently on an optimal speed point otherwise accelerating your car 20% above the speed limit will impact its fuel consumption depressingly. Each engine has a point where it runs more economically, on average somewhere around 60-kmph highway speed in 5th gear but it differs from car to car.

 
Next point you should keep in mind is to use car’s cruise control on regular basis so that you are not inclined to accelerate too much. Actually humans are likely to overcorrect by accelerating a little too much or decelerating which results in wasting of fuel, so you better give this task to on-board computer which can capably maintain cruising speed. In addition to this, make sure that you are not using your engine brakes to stop as it will waste a lot of fuel. Instead try to stop the car in neutral mode or by holding the clutch down.

 
As soon as you can, take the car on higher gears as over rotating the engine on same gear spends more fuel and diminishes the efficiency of engine as well. Try to shift your car in lower gear when you see that engine is about to stop. Usually most of us push the accelerator stronger when there is no chance to pull the engine anymore, but try to avoid this habit as this will soak more fuel.

 
One more important thing you need to take care is to use car’s electrical convenience only when necessary because most of them consume fuel badly. During the day, turn off full lights and let day running lights do the rest. Always try to maintain the usage of high fuel-consuming features like defrost, seat warmer etc. Besides this, use air-conditioner only when there is terrible need as it is the worst fuel consuming instrument.

 
In addition to these tips, try to avoid driving on interrupted routes with lots of stop lights and crowds. Keep in mind that shortest route is always not the fastest one, so travel on the way which is simple or uninterrupted.

 
Lastly, always note down “Trip” odometer reading whenever you empty your fuel tank as it will help you in doing better job with your fuel by trying different driving patterns, speeds, and routes etc.
