Taking Care Of Your Car - Part 1 Airconditioning

In this we are going to focus on how air conditioners in car have to be taken care of..

Air conditioners should be run atleast once a week not only in hot weather but in any weather .

Today almost every car is sold with a air conditioner and it should be regularly checked and serviced every 2 years or so

As we know today ozone layer is in grave danger because of the release of CFC's in air by AC's and other things so checking on your AC will add as a good deed to the enviorment as CFC's will be reduced .

Moreover , regular check up will ensure that the cooling system is in place in your car and correct temperatures are being reached !

Your air conditioners life will increase due to regular check-up and treatment and you will save a lot of money in the long run

Another benifit is there would be very little amount of pollutents remaining in your car filter giving you a better service!

Will be back with more tips next time

Gear Up For A Small Car!

Nano , Spark . I10, A-star, Wagon-R . Santro . These cars may not represent luxury in today's life , but they are more than we need , with the increasing amount of traffic on roads each day and the big players in the car industry like SUV's etc, , there is hardly any space for the car of common man !

How to Convert Your Car to Run on Water

The procedure of converting your car to a water fuel cell is very easy.

You just have to get a water fuel kit and your problem is over. You can save up to 50% of the total expenses on fuel. Be environment-friendly!

Toyota Prius - Best Electric Vehicle Ever!

The Toyota Prius is so far the best car taking into count fuel efficiency, top speed, looks, engine etc.

It is one of the best fuel efficient car as it runs on electricity. It gives 20 kmpl of efficiency.

Electric cars are a new innovation to the automobile world.

Its looks are also really very nice, both interior and exterior.

It is a smart electric vehicle, automatic and runs smoothly.

Cars Using Water as Fuel No Good

I agree, hydrogen is a fuel that will improve the fuel efficiency of a car, but there are several aspects where it is a demerit.

If you convert your car into a water fuelled car, your car is going to be ruined as it will force its engine to boost its power. When the engine gets to have so much pressure, it starts degrading and one day, your car will start getting burps.

It is very easy to make fuel cells and convert H2O as a fuel, but it is no good.

Hyundai Fluidic Verna Review

Hyundai has launched the new Fluidic Verna which is totally different from the earlier one.
With its looks, features and affordability, anyone would want to buy it. The new Verna will compete with Fiat Linea, Volkswagen Vento, Honda City and SX4. It has drawn some real attention among the car lookers and its looks make it more attractive.


Interiors
The old Verna had no good interiors which turned it down a little bit. Today, people want the interiors of a car to be as lavish as the exteriors. Its interiors has great finish and drives everyone crazy.


Exteriors
As good its interiors are, its exteriors are too. Its headlights and backlights are just stylish. Alloy wheels make it more goodlooking. rear mirror indicators are also there. Finishing has been done on it properly, after all its hyundai, not Maruti Suzuki.
