Ελέγχουμε την ρεζέρβα αν εχει χάσει αέρα κατά διαστήματα


In this short video I show you how to check your car's coolant and how much protection it can provide in the cold months, and also how to change a tire.

The coolant checker I use in the beginning, can be found in almost all gas stations, and sucking just a little bit of coolant is enough for the needle to rise up and show us the lowest temperature the liquid can provide protection. In my case the needle went up to -26° C, which means that it can protect the engine at an ambient temperature of around -26 degrees below. Not bad.

The tire change in your car is a relatively easy job. The tools needed are in the car from the factory.
You just set the hand brake, loosen up the wheel bolts, raise the car so that the tire is lifted off the ground, and undo all the bolts to remove it.
The installation of the new wheel is the exact oposite operation.

If you're on the road and in a hurry, you can tighten the bolts with the included wrench, and when you have some time you can go to a tire shop and torque them properly.
All wheel nuts have a tightening torque specified by the manufacturer, and it's good practice to obay to that number. However, if we don't have the luxury of a torque wrench, using the wrench provided in the car from the factory will lead to tightening the bolts close to the proper torque.

You may need to have a piece of metal pipe in the car though, in order to loosen up the bolts in the first place. It helps provide additional leverage.

Also, don't forget to check the pressure in the spare tire frequently, as all tires are porous and air tends to permiate through them slowly, leading to a spare tire with no air in our time of need.
