Most common Reasons for cars breakdown

No one ever plans for their car to breakdown. And, of course, when it does happen, it’s always during the worst time. Whenever you’re late to work, when you’re on your way to a “can’t miss” appointment, when you’re trying to get your kids off to school, or just after you’ve set of off to vacation. It never, ever fails.


Most car breakdowns happen for the following reasons:

o Dead Auto Car Battery
o Faulty Alternator
o Defective Starter Motor
o Electrical Problem

Auto Car Battery

The auto car battery’s key purpose is to provide power to the systems that start the engine and run the electrical systems when the engine isn’t on.
Warning signs that the battery is about to die include:
o powdery sediment on the battery and cables.
o Slow turning engine
o Low water quantities
o Dimming dashboard lights
o loose cables.

Check your auto car battery at least once a month for warning signs and have a professional inspect and test it. It’s not uncommon for Car batteries for sale to require replacement every 3-7 years, depending upon quality, so keep track of when you purchased your car battery in South Africa.
Alternator  

Once your car is running, the alternator provides power to the battery and other electrical mechanisms.

Warning signs that the alternator is about to have problems include:
o A turned on battery warning light.
o A new auto car battery that constantly goes dead.
o Unusual noises stemming from around the alternator and belt.
o Dimming internal and external lights while the engine is running.
If you notice any of these signs, see an auto professional immediately. The alternator could need replacing, but it might also be something minor, such as a brush repair.

Starter Motor

The starter motor, in which the auto car battery powers, turns the engine and gets it to run on its own.
Warning signs that the starter motor may soon start to have issues include:
o sporadic starting difficulties.
o clicking sound emanating from starter
o engine turning problems, even with a full battery
o continually running starter
If you notice any of these signs, see an auto professional right away.

Electrical System


Failure of one or more of the following systems implies your automobile’s electrical system may soon need repair:
o instrument panel
o lights
o wipers
o airbag
o brake system
Have an auto professional routinely check the electrical system. With older autos, check monthly.

When your car starts giving you trouble, it’s not easy to figure out why. It could be the battery or it could be the alternator.
