Braking System: Structure, Operation, and Failures

It’s no coincidence that a car’s braking system is almost as important as the steering system or the engine. In many ways, the safety of both the driver and the passengers depends on the proper functioning and efficiency of the brakes. Experts are convinced that a competent vehicle owner should not only be able to select replacement parts, but also understand the specific features of how each vehicle system operates. Let’s take a closer look at how brakes work in modern cars.

How to choose a clutch kit

The clutch is an internal mechanism of the vehicle and is essential for its proper functioning. What are its functions? The most fundamental one, of course, is gear shifting — but that's not all. Tasks such as transmitting torque and disengaging the transmission from the flywheel are also among its functions. The clutch includes the clutch disc as its core component, as well as the pressure plate with the spring and the release bearing.

How to Choose a Car Battery

The car battery is a component prone to a number of "failures." Finding a replacement can be challenging, as the car owner needs to know the specifications of the old battery, consider the vehicle's operating conditions, and gather as much information as possible about manufacturers. Let’s take a look at the most common malfunctions and understand the basic rules to follow when it comes to replacement.

How to Choose a Mass Air Flow Sensor

The mass air flow sensor is a fairly complex and precise device responsible for ensuring the proper quality of the air-fuel mixture in the vehicle. The performance of the catalytic converter can only be guaranteed when the MAF sensor is operating correctly. However, many other systems also depend on its proper function. If the sensor malfunctions, the vehicle’s engine will not run properly.
