Selection and ordering of spare parts
The diagnostics carried out allows us to determine the set of parts that need to be replaced.
Most often this list includes:
- Main and connecting rod bearings
- Pistons
- Connecting rod pins
- Connecting rod bushings
- Oil filter and pump
- Pump or its repair kit
- Inlet and exhaust valves
- Oil scraper rings
- Gaskets
- Guide bushings, valve seats, etc.
All spare parts are purchased (ordered) in advance, since many require preparation before installation.
For example, in order to protect against premature wear, engine pistons are treated with special coatings, which are in no way inferior in quality to factory antifriction compounds.
Some manufacturers produce pistons whose skirts are covered with a graphite-colored protective film - the same today can be created independently using special solid lubricating materials. They can be applied both to new pistons, if they are being replaced, and to previously prepared ones that are being repaired.
Until recently, piston coatings did not cause much delight among car owners, since the method of applying them was inconvenient and the effect was extremely short-lived. This was the case until the advent of coatings in aerosol cans, which have recently become increasingly popular.
In Russia, coatings for engine components are produced under the brand MODENGY For internal combustion engine parts. It can be used both in the serial production of pistons and in the process of private car repairs.
MODENGY For internal combustion engine parts based on molybdenum disulfide and graphite, it reduces friction losses, prevents stick-slip movement of the pistons and the formation of scuffing on them. As a result, engine parts wear out much less, which helps to increase the service life of the power unit.
The use of MODENGY for internal combustion engine parts in combination with the Special Cleaner-Activator MODENGY allows you to perform the treatment as efficiently as possible.
Both the coating and the cleaner are aerosol-packaged, so no additional equipment is required to carry out all operations. It is very convenient that the protective composition cures at room temperature (in 12 hours), without a special oven for polymerization.
To see how easy it is to apply modern coatings to pistons, watch the video instructions below.

Do-it-yourself car repair vs car service
Everyone has the right to decide to carry out car repairs with their own hands or still entrust their car to a specialized service station. There are car owners who, as a matter of principle, do not trust anyone to repair their car, but there is a category of those who are happy to go through the parts and identify the problem on their own. Moreover, this does not mean at all that these people do not have extra money, but means one thing: repairing a car with your own hands is a very interesting activity. In addition, today there are more and more auto repair shops that strive to get as much as possible from repairs, but at the same time spend a minimum of effort and time. And this often leads to sad consequences. Therefore, if you decide to take your car to a car service center, find out as much as possible about it and try to go to a place where they will fix the problem with a guarantee.
There are also types of work when it is simply necessary to resort to the use of special expensive equipment. But, you can do most of the repair work yourself, especially if you are an experienced car enthusiast. It’s fortunate that car repairs have become more affordable, because today it’s almost easy to purchase certain spare parts.
It often happens that the family budget plays a decisive factor when making a decision. You are faced with a choice: take the car to a service center or do everything yourself. Prices for car repairs, for example, in Moscow, are quite high, and if you do everything yourself, you will only have to spend money on a new part or materials.

Repair of shock absorber struts. Do-it-yourself instructions for an ordinary car
If we more or less understand everything with a complete body repair, then local repair of the body or its individual parts is worth considering in more detail. For those car owners who are familiar with welding and painting equipment, carrying out a complete body repair with their own hands will not be particularly difficult.
For those who doubt their abilities, in principle it will not be difficult to carry out local body repairs, especially taking into account the numerous materials and instructions that exist on the Internet today.
Before you start repairing the body yourself, you need to understand for yourself what you ultimately want to get as a result. Or rather, start by assessing the condition of the car body and its individual elements. So, what is included in the concept of body repair, and what is the technology for do-it-yourself body repair.
Car body repair technology with painting:
- Elimination of corrosion areas. This type of repair is carried out using welding equipment, when a metal “patch” is welded into rotten areas of the body. A similar type of repair can be made without welding. Restoration of the surface is carried out using compositions based on epoxy resins and fiberglass. The effect is no less. This method is used when there are small areas (holes) in the body.
- Repair of plastic body parts. This type of repair is made using fiberglass and epoxy resins. Previously, if, for example, a plastic bumper is cracked, the repair technology allows you to solder the crack, but then, nevertheless, for reliability, it is necessary to glue the welded edges of the crack from the inside.
- Replacement or repair of aluminum body parts. In this case, it is unlikely that you will be able to repair the car body yourself, because... To repair aluminum parts, argon welding will be required. Although, the skill of car owners and the availability of equipment today are not limited by anything.
- Do-it-yourself repair of minor chips and scratches on the body. Produced using a “car pencil” or polish. Fortunately, there is no shortage of these funds today. Any auto chemical store will offer you a lot of options to choose from. More deep damage to the paintwork can be repaired using primer, putty and spray paint. With this type of repair, the car body painting technology must already be followed.
Signs of poor quality repairs
In a private service, when carrying out work, mistakes may be made such as poor painting, installation of old non-working parts, illiterate installation of individual elements, which subsequently require more serious repairs and cause damage to the owner.
What can work in his favor:
- Agreement concluded with the service. If it does not specify other conditions, then if any shortcomings are discovered, the driver can contact the company and demand correction of the mistakes made.
- Check. A receipt indicating the fact of the concluded contract can also help in solving the problem of poor-quality repairs between the parties.
- Witnesses. It’s good if the customer had acquaintances, friends or relatives nearby when contacting the service, ready to confirm the fact of ordering repair work.
Judicial practice shows that it is not always possible to obtain a refund, re-repair or other kind of compensation just by contacting the service.
It is often necessary to prove that the driver’s problem was precisely due to incorrectly performed repairs carried out by this organization.
Summary
As you know, a car is a complex mechanism in which each part is responsible strictly for its task, and if it becomes unusable, the operation of the entire system is disrupted. The article presents the most important components of the car, which, if they break down, must be urgently repaired, otherwise the car may either not move at all, or move, but with great difficulty.
Of course, there are other important systems that are important for the machine to work correctly. Such systems include the brake system, clutch and many others. There are also secondary systems and devices that are more responsible for comfort during movement, such as air conditioning and other similar devices. Undoubtedly, each device must be repaired when it breaks down, otherwise the car will soon break down altogether and will not be able to move.
