It is said that Japanese cars have no worries about maintenance. Is it really reliable to experience the whole process of Japanese car maintenance on the spot?

Speaking of maintenance, many drivers don't know what they will do except change the oil, so some people will buy their own oil and change it directly outside, which will cause trouble in the future. However, some people think that there will be more inexplicable items to increase fees when the 4S shop is repaired, and they think that the 4S shop is very pit. In fact, as long as you read the maintenance manual, you will know what to do in maintenance, which must be changed and which does not need to be changed. So, what is the specific process of general maintenance? Today, Brother Idiot borrowed a Jin Xuan to discuss the maintenance of Japanese cars.

Before sharing the maintenance process, let's take a look at this new Jin Xuan. Its positioning is a compact SUV with a 2.0L CVT smart collar version at the top, and the landing price is about 16W. Before McPherson, it was equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a multi-link fully independent suspension chassis. In addition, it is equipped with LED headlights, knee airbags, tire pressure monitoring, keyless entry/keyless start, sunroof, automatic air conditioning and reversing images. And its cost performance is higher than many similar models.

At present, the new car has traveled 5 thousand kilometers, and the spacious space and good power control have also made this Mitsubishi SUV have a lot of passion. Back to the topic, let's talk about the whole maintenance process of Xinjinxuan step by step, and look at the maintenance of general Japanese cars and what work to do.

Step 1: The after-sales consultant picks up the car and registers it.

This step is that after you make an appointment (or not) to the store, the service consultant will usually pick up the car at home, drive the car to the after-sales workshop, make a detailed car use record, and put protective covers on the seat, steering wheel, gear lever and other parts. And arrange technicians to come and pick up the car for maintenance. Because I made an appointment in advance, I started to pick up the car when I came to the 4S shop. After-sales consultant service is efficient and has a good attitude.

Step 2: Lighting inspection and in-vehicle function inspection

After the after-sales master drives the car to the station, he should also register it, and then start the first step of maintenance and check the lighting. In addition to the headlights in the car, the front and rear headlights should also be checked. After careful inspection by the master, there is no problem with the interior and exterior lights of the new Jinxuan, and all the buttons and knobs in the car are fine.

Step 3: Check the engine compartment.

This step mainly checks the liquid level in the engine compartment, as well as electronic components, liquid pipes, etc. , to see whether the liquid level is sufficient, whether the electronic components are loose, whether the liquid delivery pipe leaks, etc. Of course, if the engine compartment is too dirty, it must be cleaned in the early stage and the dirt inside must be removed.

Step 4: Check the oil condition.

This step is very necessary. After all, engine oil is the "blood" of the engine. Check the oil condition before changing the oil to have a simple understanding of the current running condition of the engine.

Step 5: Replace the oil and oil filter.

The changed oil is put in this yellow "jar" to keep the surrounding environment clean and tidy.

This process is also necessary, and the oil and oil filter need to be replaced every maintenance, so as to ensure the good operation of the engine. As for the choice of engine oil, the original engine oil of GAC Mitsubishi was chosen, not only because the first guarantee was free, but also because the original engine oil itself was developed for the original engine, so the fit would be higher, the quality would be more guaranteed, and the engine would be better protected.

Step 6: Check the chassis.

After the oil is drained, the after-sales personnel should also conduct an all-round inspection of the chassis to see if there is any looseness or leakage. After the inspection, it is necessary to reinforce the chassis screws and other components (whether they are loose or not), and also check the positions of tires, brake discs and suspension systems. Taking this opportunity, Brother Tong also took a closer look at the chassis of New Jin Xuan. The bottom is relatively flat, the former McPherson's fully independent suspension structure and thick parts, of course, there is no sign of leakage.

Step 7: Check the battery and the trip computer.

Chassis reinforcement, tire pressure adjustment, is to check the battery power in the engine compartment to see if it is within the normal range. If it is not normal, it depends on the battery power attenuation. Then check the driving computer. The inspection of the driving computer is mainly to connect the OBD interface in the car with the special computer, read and analyze the data, see if there is fault information, and modify the maintenance mileage.

Step 8: Clean the air conditioner filter and engine compartment.

After other maintenance work is completed, clean the air conditioning filter. At present, the filter element of the new Jin Xuan air conditioner is not ready to be replaced, and the after-sales personnel can take it out and blow it clean with an air gun. In addition, the engine compartment was briefly cleaned before maintenance. After the maintenance, deep cleaning should be carried out to thoroughly remove dirt and make the environment in the engine compartment cleaner. But remember not to wash the engine compartment with a high-pressure gun when washing the car outside.

Step 9: Wash the car

After the maintenance work in the workshop, the whole maintenance construction process is over, but the car can't be driven away.

Step 10: Check the maintenance report and check out.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that whether you supervise the whole maintenance process or not, you'd better read your maintenance report after maintenance. This report is generally from the hands of after-sales personnel. You can know what projects you have done at a glance. Because this report is used as the attendance of after-sales personnel, it is more referential. In addition, look at the maintenance price list and you will know where the money is spent. Of course, this new Jin Xuan is the first insurance, free of charge (regular maintenance is not expensive, after consultation, it will be around 500 yuan).

The above ten steps are the project processes that Japanese car owners often do during maintenance. There may be some differences in the maintenance steps of individual 4S shops, but it is almost impossible to complete all these projects. This time, the total maintenance time is less than one and a half hours, and the general routine maintenance time is less than two hours. This shows that GAC Mitsubishi has a high efficiency in after-sales work and is more meticulous in its work. As a Japanese car owner, have you done all these links during maintenance?
