Tips to maintain your MG Hector Plus
Regular car servicing is more than just keeping your car in good condition. It also ensures the resale value doesn’t drop drastically, and the fuel efficiency isn’t compromised. Below are a few tips to follow for your MG Hector Plus:
Changing the engine oil frequently
Engine oil is responsible for lubricating the internal components. It makes sure dirt and dust do not enter the engine, and your car works smoothly. But prolonged use can lead to dirt accumulation and fuel inefficiency. That’s why it is important that you change it after the regular intervals, as suggested in the owner’s manual. Timely oil and filter replacement ensures clean circulation and a smooth car performance.
Scheduling preventative checkups
Make sure you are not skipping on the scheduled service as it can degrade the performance and life of your MG Hector Plus. Follow the checkup timeline provided in the manual to optimise the vehicle’s upkeep. It not only enables a comprehensive inspection of your car but also adds to the service history. In case you want to resell your car in the future, timely servicing records definitely help.
Replacing internal components
As specified above, every internal component requires replacement after a particular interval. Ensure that you follow the timelines to prevent costly breakdowns in the future. Keep a check on the brake pads, belts, hoses, and filters to ensure that they are working efficiently. Immediate replacement is advisable for worn-out parts to avoid problems when you are on the road.
The car battery is responsible for powering electrical components. But its efficiency reduced over time, especially in poor weather conditions. The component has an average battery life of 4 to 5 years, so always get it checked at the time of service. Get it replaced on time to prevent any unfortunate issues. Keeping a check ensures that your car functions properly for years to come.
Looking out for signs of rust
Not only do your car’s internal components require inspection, but the external finishing is equally significant. Keep a check on the paint to identify any signs of corrosion or rust. It will help maintain your car’s quality and appeal throughout its lifetime. Request the service centre expert for a touch–up in case you spot any issues.
