During this period, many drivers face unexpected problems: the car does not start, the brakes do not react as before, or the shock absorbers start to make noise.<br data-start=\"1072\" data-end=\"1075\" \/>All of these problems are related to parts that are more sensitive during the winter and require special care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1500\">Therefore, preventive maintenance is essential. A simple check before winter can avoid serious damage and high costs later. That&#039;s why using<a href=\"https:\/\/charlis-distribution.co\/en\/about-us\/\"> <strong data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1399\">quality spare parts<\/strong><\/a> It makes the difference between a car that runs perfectly and one that leaves you in the middle of the road.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"1879\">1. Battery \u2013 the heart of the car during winter<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"2124\">The battery is the most critical part during the cold months. Many drivers only realize its importance when the car stops starting. In sub-zero temperatures, the battery&#039;s capacity drops to 30-40%, because the chemical processes inside it slow down.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2126\" data-end=\"2295\">If the car has difficulty starting, the lights dim when you start the engine, or the electrical equipment works poorly, this is a clear sign that the battery is losing power.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2297\" data-end=\"2312\"><strong data-start=\"2297\" data-end=\"2310\">Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2377\">Check the battery voltage before the start of winter.<br \/>\nClean the terminals to avoid oxidation.<br \/>\nIf the battery is more than 3 years old, consider replacing it.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2646\" data-end=\"2703\">2. Cooling system<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2705\" data-end=\"2962\">One of the most common mistakes is using water instead of antifreeze. Water freezes and can damage the water pump or engine block.<br data-start=\"2847\" data-end=\"2850\" \/>The cooling system is vital to maintaining engine temperature and avoiding overheating or freezing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2964\" data-end=\"2982\"><strong data-start=\"2964\" data-end=\"2980\">Check:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2983\" data-end=\"3107\">\n<li data-start=\"2983\" data-end=\"3021\">\n<p data-start=\"2985\" data-end=\"3021\">The level and quality of antifreeze.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3022\" data-end=\"3067\">\n<p data-start=\"3024\" data-end=\"3067\">Condition of the radiator and water pump.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3068\" data-end=\"3107\">\n<p data-start=\"3070\" data-end=\"3107\">Thermostat and drain pipes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3109\" data-end=\"3318\">IN <a href=\"https:\/\/charlis-distribution.co\/en\"><strong data-start=\"3112\" data-end=\"3136\">Charlis Distribution<\/strong><\/a>, find <strong data-start=\"3144\" data-end=\"3184\">spare parts for the cooling system<\/strong> for every type of car: radiators, thermostats, water pumps, pipes and antifreeze tanks, certified for durability and performance.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3325\" data-end=\"3408\">3. Shock absorbers and suspension system<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3410\" data-end=\"3608\">Winter seriously damages the suspension system due to potholes, ice, and mud.
