Rubber and wheels
A brief excursion into the past: how the tire appeared
Tires began their triumphant march across the planet in 1846, when there were no «self-propelled carriages» at all, and the city streets were filled with the roar of metal carriage wheels.
Young Robert William Thomson, apparently tired of the constant noise of London after the quiet Scotland, where he was from, proposed to «wrap» the wheel rims in elastic material. And he did not hesitate with the application to the patent office.
Thomson did not only suggest using the tire, but also described its design. The proto-tire consisted of several layers of fabric and rubber, with which the fabric was impregnated, and the contact with the road was provided by leather, reinforced with metal rivets. The first tires, besides the obvious noise reduction, had another unexpected effect — the speed of the crews increased significantly.
Fifteen years later, veterinary surgeon John Dunlop, who had adapted a garden hose to his son’s iron bicycle wheels, unknowingly opened the camera. Today the Dunlop company, named after the inventor of the first pneumatic tire, is one of the most famous manufacturers.
A little later, engineer Childe Kingston Weltch, familiar with Thomson’s work and appreciating Dunlop’s original solution, separated the tube from the tire and reinforced the edges with wire. This innovation was appreciated by two Frenchmen André and Edouard Michelin, who founded the famous Michelin company for the production of pneumatic tires.
Basic elements of a modern tire
Basically, the design of the tire after more than 100 years has not changed much, undergoing only modifications and improvements.
A modern tire is a kind of «sandwich», each layer of which carries its own functional load. This is the product of the work of hundreds of engineers from various companies, designed to create the most durable, comfortable and safe tire.

Car painting
Car painting in Carstars garage Dubai
Car body painting is optional, but in most cases it is still an inevitable procedure for car care. Any self-respecting driver monitors not only the good technical condition of his car, but also its appearance. Unfortunately, it is not always in our power to prevent external interference with the integrity of our car. It is often just its body that suffers, and, therefore, the paint coating (PC).
Car painting is a measure that can not only restore the integrity of the car’s paintwork, but also make it shine like new. What is car painting, what types it is subdivided into and what you generally need to know:
Partial car painting
In almost one hundred percent of cases, a partial, or local, painting of a car is resorted to after an accident. The body element that was hit must be repaired. It is advisable to do this as soon as possible in order to prevent the formation of corrosion.
The first thing to start painting a car with is the preparation of the room. Dust, dirt — none of this should be there. Cleanliness and the absence of all unnecessary things — this is a good room for painting your car.
The procedure of painting the element by auto straightening continues — a thorough surface treatment and elimination of damage to the body. This can also include the elimination of contamination from the part.
The third stage is filling. As in construction and renovation, at this stage, scratches are smoothed out, cracks are filled.
The fourth is grinding. Here, irregularities in coating are finally eliminated. The main goal of this stage is to make sure that the paintwork will lie in an even layer.
Sanding is followed by priming of the body element, i.e. applying an anti-corrosion coating to the unpainted element and processing with a primer.

Sprung repair
What is car sprung? — it is a complex unit in a car that refers to the chassis and is divided into front and rear sprung. The main function of the sprung is to ensure the safety and comfort of the vehicle. When the vehicle is moving, the suspension dampens vibrations from road bumps. It turns out that the main part of the loads falls on it and it is clear that all the components of the suspension (springs, supports, bearings, stabilizer rods, shock absorbers, support cups) become unusable.
Of course, motorists need to understand that the wear of suspension parts is affected by bad roads with pits and bumps, passing by «speed bumps» at high speed, but the driving style of the driver, as well as the attitude of each car owner to his iron horse, affects no less. It is important to know that any part has its own life cycle and wear period, timely replacement of units and spare parts will help car owners not to start a situation before almost all the components of the suspension have to be changed, which is noticeable in cost. Well, do not forget about safety, a timely corrected problem is the insurance of your life and those around you on the road. Do not forget that the high-temperature climate also leads to rapid wear of rubber joints and silent blocks.
Symptoms such as: body swaying, tapping, noises and squeaks, an increase in braking distance, vibration recoil from the road to the steering wheel, vehicle instability, moving in different directions in a straight line, mechanical damage — hitting an obstacle, falling into a hole, etc. hint the attentive driver that it’s time to visit the car service.

Transmission repair
The transmission is one of the most expensive and complex systems of any car, it needs regular diagnostics and maintenance, therefore, at the first suspicion of a malfunction, it is recommended to contact the service center
So, the gearbox is:
- Automatic;
- Robotic;
- Variator, it is stepless.
Automatic transmissions appeared on cars after the war: the first serial Buick «on autopilot» was released in 1947. The principle of operation of an automatic transmission is notable for the fact that gear shifting occurs due to the interaction of planetary mechanisms and a hydromechanical drive using electronic actuators.
The robotic transmission is an evolutionary continuation of the development of the manual transmission. The robot, essentially, is a manual transmission in which the clutch release and gear shifting are performed by two servos controlled by an electronic unit. This type of box conventionally combined all the positive aspects of a manual transmission and the convenience of a machine.
The first prototype of a robotic box was created by Adolf Kegress in 1939. He thought of the dual-clutch transmission, but the further development of this promising invention stopped due to financial difficulties.
Volkswagen engineers ventured back to development and later serial production only in 2003, having installed a preselective transmission on the sports version of the Golf model. Until now, the VAG corporate group is actively promoting this type of boxes of its models.

Engine repair
Based on the experience of interaction with various engine breakdowns, our specialists came to the conclusion: when using cars in hot climates, the maintenance-free operation terms declared by the manufacturer are significantly reduced. Often, an additional factor in reducing these terms is the manner of driving a vehicle.
Typical causes of engine failure are:
• Violation of the terms and requirements for scheduled maintenance of the car;
• Use of unsuitable fuel and/or oil, replacement of parts with low-quality analogues;
• Overheating of the engine caused by a lack of coolant or oil;
• Failure or extreme wear of rubbing parts;
• Independent minor repairs performed unprofessionally;
• Aggressive driving, frequent loads, excessively intensive use, etc.
In order to avoid serious breakdowns and the need for overhaul of the engine, drivers are advised to take the car for diagnostics at the first sign of a malfunction. Problems identified at an early stage of development, as a rule, are eliminated quickly and do not entail large financial losses. Running problems lead to an increase in deviations, affect adjacent parts and assemblies, and can cause destruction of mechanisms. In such cases, an expensive and lengthy overhaul of the car engine will be required, or a complete replacement of the motor.

Cooling system
Cooling system service, Dubai
The cooling system is designed to cool engine parts that are heated as a result of engine operation. On modern cars, the cooling system, in addition to its main function, performs a number of other functions.
Functions including:
-
heating of air in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system;
-
Oil cooling in the lubrication system;
-
cooling of exhaust gases in the exhaust gas recirculation system;
-
Air cooling in the turbocharging system;
-
cooling of the working fluid in the automatic transmission.
Depending on the cooling method, the following types of cooling systems are distinguished: liquid (closed), air (open) and combined. In a liquid cooling system, heat from heated engine parts is removed by a fluid flow. The air system uses airflow for cooling. The combined system integrates fluid and air systems.
Cars use a liquid cooling system. This system provides uniform and efficient cooling and also has a lower noise level.
The design of the cooling system for gasoline and diesel engines is similar. The engine cooling system includes many elements, including a coolant radiator, an oil cooler, a heater heat exchanger, a radiator fan, a centrifugal pump, as well as an expansion tank and a thermostat. The engine cooling jacket is included in the cooling system diagram. Control elements are used to regulate the system operation.

The air heating system in the passenger compartment is not capable of providing the required temperature regime. To ensure comfortable conditions for the driver and passengers, the vehicle needs to be cooled when the ambient temperatures exceed 23°C. Air conditioning systems are employed to address this issue. The picture illustrates the scheme of the air conditioning system:

Refrigerant A/C Gas replacement in Dubai
The system fills with refrigerant, which can change from gaseous to liquid and vice versa based on temperature and pressure. Refrigerant is the gas used to fill the system. Car air conditioners previously used R12 freon, but its use reduced due to concerns about the destruction of the ozone layer caused by fluorocarbons in R12.
Modern air conditioning systems now use R134a freon (tetrafluoroethane), which is considered «environmentally friendly.» This refrigerant is a type of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that doesn’t contain chlorine and is less harmful. However, it is 10-15% less efficient than R12 and has a more fluid nature. Car air conditioners using R134a require higher operating pressure for effective functioning. The use of R134a has complicated air conditioning systems. It’s important to note that the old and new refrigerants are incompatible due to differences in compressor oils used with them.
