In addition to oil, the bolts found on the legs of the vehicle are also one component that is mandatory for inspection when carrying out large services. "When the car is five years old, in general, the components of the legs such as tierod to brake lining ask for immediate replacement," Ruslan said again.

But among the many components, the most difficult to detect is the motor performance of the extra fan. "When the extra fan experiences problems and it is only known when the car is moving, such as not being able to suck and blow cold air from outside. This will certainly increase the temperature of the condenser, "he explained.
