The auto expert called the signs of an imminent breakdown of the car

If the car owner is well aware of the ideal condition of his car, then almost any deviation from the norm becomes a reason to pay attention to it. Maxim Rakitin, editor-in-chief of the online automotive publication Quto, told about this on Monday, April 15.

"Some sudden electrical and electronic errors are also all harbingers of some small or big disaster. The creaking in the brake pads is also a cause for concern," the auto expert said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

The specialist noted that the louder the extraneous sound becomes and the more often it appears, the more reasons to pay attention to it. He added that there are certain knocks, creaks, and smells in every part of the car that portend some kind of trouble in the future.
