“What’s the weather going to be like at Easter?” is the typical question on these holidays in the middle of spring and the usual thing is that the weather is one of the most diverse. For this reason, it is vital to check the car’s windshield wipers to guarantee correct visibility on the road, which is key to road safety. And, contrary to what is thought, the less use, the more need to check them, especially if you live in dry areas where if the car sleeps in the weather it is common for them to accumulate dust and dirt. This can spoil them sooner.

They must be reviewed annually, in a simple operation that ranges between 15 and 50 euros. It also includes filling the liquid tank, which is not exactly water, so it is recommended to go to the workshop to fill it with the appropriate solution instead of doing it on your own, according to Euromaster.

If a driver fills up with normal tap water, since it has a lot of lime, it is possible to break the ‘engine’ of the cleaners, whose repair is simple, but implies a disorder in full vacation.

And, although very unusual, but with cases in the histories of the workshops, it can happen that the user makes the wrong tank and pours the soapy solution where the coolant goes, being able to break the car’s engine.

On the other hand, in the same way that the rain can break out at any time during the holidays, so can the sun and good temperatures. In fact, Easter is usually the premiere of the air conditioning since the last time it was activated in the fall, so it is recommended to review the cabin filters.

It is a simple operation that manufacturers recommend to carry out every 20,000 kilometers or in case it becomes clogged, something common in spring when pollen enters the scene, leaves accumulate around the vehicle and dirt. This “cocktail” ultimately causes our air conditioner to run at half throttle or barely.

Another element that also influences the performance of the air conditioner is that it simply runs out of gas. For the gas refueling operation, depending on the type that the vehicle is equipped with, the price can range from 50 to 150 euros and is carried out in just 30 minutes.
