In the not-so-distant future you will want to get your vehicle ready for wintertime which is an important task. Don’t find yourself stranded on the roadside because of something that can be easily maintained. Use this checklist to prepare your vehicle for snowy weather:
* Check your tires – It is important to check the tread, inflation, and wear on your tires before snow hits the ground. If any of these factors is off, even slightly, it can affect your traction and handling.
* Check your battery – Finding yourself stranded with a dead battery is no fun! Bring your vehicle in to Emich VW and let us test your battery.
* Check wiper fluid levels – Snow can lead to reduced visibility, so making sure your wiper fluids are topped up is extremely important!
* Check the ratio of your coolant – Another important factor to your drive is making sure your coolant ratio is 60/40 coolant to water.
* Keep your gas tank filled – Making sure your gas tank is filled to at least a quarter is extremely important! Make sure you have enough fuel to last should you be stuck in a weather-induced traffic situation. Also, cold weather can cause condensation in the tank which can lead to freezing your fuel lines.
