Here are some things to check before buying a repurchased vehicle. First you have to evaluate the radiator. The best solution is simply to disconnect the heater cap and check the inside of the fluid. It usually finds antifreeze, which in some cases may contain orange, green, red or even water. Just make sure it's totally clean.
If fluid is dirty or discolored, it may be a sign of leakage, which can be used to hide many costly problems. Typically, this is a head gasket that can cost you a lot of money. Then check the oil. That's why I recommend the oil dipstick and smell the smell of all the oil you burn. Also, remove the oil level gauge and make sure it is not crowded, which can be a sign of metal scrap. After wiping off the oil dipstick, replace it and pull it out to get an accurate oil level. If the oil level is low, there may be either a burning oil or a leaking oil somewhere. Does not it matter that this is a very bad sign?
In addition, such things may mean that there are other leaks, and the car can never be maintained properly. You have to make sure there's no water in the oil!
Water will make the oil milky and a buffing head seal. If you feel that there is water in the oil, you have to run it. Then remove the cap cover and smell the smell of burnt oil.
If there is a burning odor, it may be a sign that the engine has low oil levels or other problems that will soon fail. You also want to check the transmission fluid. The same rules apply to the transfer fluid as the oil. It does not want any burning smell, and if the liquid is good, it will be vibrantly red. If the transmission fluid is dark or brown, immediate fluid change is required.
If there are pieces of metal, it is a certainty that the gearbox will soon go out. This is a definite reason to look for additional vehicles.
Then you have to go through the belts and make sure you're in good shape. Cracked or torn belts can be broken and cause more problems and money when handled.
When doing so, make sure there is no oil between the oil or the heads. Before you start the test drive, you must leave the vehicle warm. After the vehicle has run for a while, make sure that the temperature gauge is working properly and the car does not heat up. If the temp tester does not work, it may indicate that it does not leak due to the header problem. When testing a vehicle, make sure that the temperature does not go up or down or is too hot.
When the vehicle starts to overheat, there are many things to do. The most common ones include head seals, thermostats, bad radiators, or even a cracked block. During warm-up, the car's exhaust is checked at the rear of the vehicle. You need to put your hands on the tail tube and make sure there is no over-hardening or low compression. Do not smoke or water after full warm-up.
When white smoke is produced, it may be a bad ring or antifreeze and oil mixture, which may also indicate blown head sealing. As long as the test drive stops, check the quality of the brakes as much as possible. When the pedal is pressed it must be firm and stand in the cause. If there is too much noise during the throwing, there is probably a need for replacement cushions or even rotors. Keep in mind that the brakes are easy to attach and are generally not expensive if you do not deal with car imports like Mercedes or BMW. Then you have to listen to the noise while turning or corners. Any noise can be a bad power steering pump, bearings, joints, or shafts. Additionally, if the steering wheel is difficult to turn on, it may be a low fluid or a bad pump.
While driving, when you release the wheel and the car moves in one direction or another, this may be an alignment problem or a bad tire. Check all brake lights, signs and headlights. They even thought it was cheap to fix it, and they would have to improve them for the car to go through. One of the most important things to check is the heating and cooling system. Depending on the weather conditions under which the vintage car is driven by one or other vehicle
