Weekly Checks: Introduction (Mercedes-Benz C-Class W201)

There are some very simple checks that only take a few minutes to complete but can help you avoid a lot of inconvenience and expense.

The weekly checks described do not require any special skills or special tools, and the little time it takes to perform them can be well spent for you.

For example:

Keeping an eye on your tires and tire pressure will not only help prevent premature wear, but could also save your life.

Many breakdowns are caused by faulty electrical equipment. Battery related faults are particularly common, so quick regular checks can often prevent most of them from occurring.

If your car has a brake fluid leak, you may find that the first thing you know about it is a brake problem. Regularly checking the fluid level will help you know about this kind of problem early.

If the oil or coolant level drops, the cost of repairing any engine damage will far outweigh the cost of finding the leak.
