What is the Master Cylinder



The master cylinder is located in the engine compartment on the firewall, directly in front of the driver's seat. A master cylinder is actually two completely separate master cylinders housed in one with each handling two wheels. If one side fails, you will still be able to stop the car.

The brake warning light on the dash will light if either side fails, alerting you to the problem. Master cylinders have become very reliable and rarely malfunction; however, the most common problem that they experience is an internal leak. This will cause the brake pedal to slowly sink to the floor when your foot applies steady pressure. Letting go of the pedal and immediately stepping on it again brings the pedal back to normal height.

If you need to replace your master cylinder visit 4 U Car Online and watch a video on how to do it yourself and save.

How to Safely Remove Scratches from Your Car's Paint by Hand




Micro-fine, hairline scratches can often be removed by hand using a non-abrasive paint cleaner or swirl remover polish. It can safely and effectively remove below surface defects like fine scratches and bonded contaminants from paint surfaces, while enhancing the paint's gloss. This type of product is ideal for solving isolated paint problems and can even be used to revive a vehicle’s entire paint finish.

The most common below surface defects, many of which can be removed by hand are listed below:

1. Random, isolated scratches
2. Cobweb-effect
3. Buffer swirls
4. Oxidation
5. Pore imbedding stains
6. Chemical etching
7. Acid rain spots
8. Etching from bird droppings

You will need a clean, foam applicator pad to work the product into the finish and a good quality terry cloth towel or a microfiber towel. It's important to note that using premium quality applicators and towels insures that you do not inflict any additional scratches back into the paint surface.

Checking Tire Pressure


There's more to checking your tire pressure than visually examining it to see if it looks a little low. Tire pressure is measured in PSI or pounds per square inch. The PSI on the side of your tires is the maximum pressure level and not the recommended level. Incorrect tire pressure can result in poor fuel economy, quicker wear on your tires, even flats.

Now let's talk about how you correctly measure your tire pressure. You will need a tire pressure gauge. These come in standard or digital.

1. Make sure that you check all four tires. Sometimes a tire will look fine when in fact the pressure is incorrect.
2. Find the recommended PSI for your car. This can be found in your owner's manual or inside the doorjamb on the driver's side. (Remember, don't go by the tire itself).
3. Make sure your tires are cool or you will not get an accurate reading.
4. Find the air valve on the tire. This is underneath the little cap that you use to add air to your tire.
5. Press the tire pressure gauge against the valve. Make sure that the seal between the gauge and the valve is solid and hold for a few seconds.
6. Look at the piece that was pushed out from the end of the metal tube. If you are using a circular dial gauge, look at the number where the needle indicates. The number that is closest to the metal base is your PSI reading.
9. Now you can add or release air to the PSI reading that you've just obtained.
10. Check the pressure again to be sure that it is correct and repeat the process on all four tires.
10. Don't forget to check your spare.
