This chapter is designed to help the home mechanic keep the machine in top working condition, prolong the life of the machine, and save money.
This chapter lists the main maintenance steps, which are further explained in detail in the relevant sections. This includes: inspection, adjustments, replacement of elements and other useful materials. Refer to the illustrations above for the engine compartment and underside view of the vehicle to determine the location of the components.
Carry out maintenance on the machine according to the schedule in accordance with the mileage or time traveled, and the appropriate section of this manual will give you the necessary information about the sequence of operations and the features of their implementation. The service plan offered to you is exhaustive, i.e. If you complete some of its points and fail to complete others, you will not get the expected result.
In the process of servicing your machine, you will soon find that many procedures can be performed with less labor if they are performed in combination with others, although not directly related to each other. For example, if you had to lift the car to inspect or repair the suspension, then at the same time you should inspect the exhaust system and hydraulic steering pipes.
Before you start any work, you should prepare for it. Read all sections that are relevant to the planned work, then make a list and prepare all the tools, fixtures and materials that you need for this. If you have any problems, consult with a specialist in advance.
