15 signs of "twisted" run of the car.

Oh, how good it was even some hundred years ago, with the choice of vehicles. From early in the morning I got up and went to the fair, walked along the rows, looked at his teeth and slapped on the rump liked the raven, bargained the price, and all you can harness and go home on a new horse.

If anyone is unclear why his teeth looked at, then I will explain: one of the only reliable evidence of the age of the horse had teeth.
The horse could somehow look good, but what he was older, the more worn down teeth.
Because the horse's teeth fray grass and eventually they grind.
Gloss on the dray horse, or you can bring - to clean the skin, comb mane, well-heeled and dental nothing could be done.

And now?
Come to any salon that sells used vehicles: all vehicles are reclaimed, polished, napolirovany, drizzle with a pleasant interior deodorant, all as on selection!
Well, where is "to look in the mouth?"
If it was simple, I would say - look at the odometer - it shows how really drove this "horse".
But I do not know whether the steel is now to put the horses' veneers' to the teeth, but the iron horses' teeth to forge a "learned. Should you only advertise the sale of cars like sprinkling sms with the offer "twist mileage of your car."

So, what is it?
The adjustment path of the car, made the intervention of special tools or hardware components of the car to change the indication on the dashboard or in the onboard computer of the vehicle.

If earlier, when the odometers were mechanical, and the methods of correction were mechanical - versed assembly and odometer or just changed the numbers on the disc, or act more delicately put on the odometer cable chuck electric drill and "cool" to the desired path.
Now that almost all parts of the vehicle are electronic, the mileage and corrected electronically. To connect the vehicle's diagnostic socket special equipment and "reflash" the new figures run of the car.
Just five minutes of exercise a specialist and your car can change from everyday hardworking grandfather in the car, driving to church on weekends.
How do we determine the true mileage of the car?
Let's try to describe the main characteristics, which can, if not know the real running, but guessed that it corrected.

1. The conflict between the odometer and mileage data for other electronic components of the car.
Currently, manufacturers are electronically recorded mileage of the car in a variety of different electronic control units of the vehicle.
Often, the running can be adjusted in only one (odometers), and in other units, such as ABS or lever block forget correct running and there will run the actual numbers.
Often overlooked flash ignition, in which the majority of modern cars, there are also indications of run of the car.
Also, if the correction is not engaged experts can remain in the system error which will say that was tampering correction path.
Unfortunately, this method can be used only with special equipment, which can be found only at service stations.

2.3. Discrepancies between the odometer and vehicle service history, data from official dealers.
I'll start with the case of life - look around the car, on the odometer 50 with small thousand kilometers.
I opened the hood, see the label on the last oil change. I read it carefully, it says that the oil has been replaced by 120 000 kilometers.
Beckons Seller - carefully re-read it to him. The seller is red, and a minute later acknowledged that a neighbor advised the garage to correct mileage to sell up to 50 000 expensive.
It is certainly too simple and obvious.
But it is possible to find such traces inconsistencies in the service book, look through the work orders, if they survived.
And best of all refer to the dealer and ask for the service history of the vehicle.

4.5. State driver's seat, seat belts
Fabric or leather driver's seat is not a figure that can be easily changed.
Therefore, look carefully for wear, cracks, breaks cover chair. Move the view of the seat back.
For example, gaps or holes on the back is not only appear before 200,000 km.
Cars are often sold with a strained covers over the seats, do not be lazy to look under the covers, and whether the seller is not trying new beautiful covers to hide the strong depreciation of the chair.
Look closely at the neighboring chair, and not over whether the seat of the new skin, if so, think about why, ask questions to the seller.
See how greasy and either tears or is damaged belt.
For example, look at this picture, the car owner claimed that the true mileage - 150000 km.

6,7,8. Status steering, gearshift knob, armrest on the driver's door.
Modern car helm material made of materials that are destroyed by time, or mechanical action. The more expensive cars covered with leather.
Hands driver secrete sweat and with time he leaves the characteristics of how often operated cars. Plastic starts to crumble, leather, zapolirovyvaetsya, abrasions, tears.
Women's long nails cut the skin, damage the coating of buttons.
Look carefully at the bottom of the steering wheel, it often rubs against the legs of the driver.
The true state of the steering wheel sometimes try to hide under a decorative braid on the steering wheel.
Most dealers are on certain investments, buying new steering wheels and handle, or buy for demolition, to disguise this lack in their car.

9. Status pedals
Almost always the driver's foot is on the pedal at the right, and if you see that it is polished to a mirror finish, and you are the seller claims that only went in the summer, a good occasion to reflect on his honesty.
Also pay attention to the condition of the carpet coverage under the heel of the driver. For large runs, there is formed a hole down to the metal.

10. The condition of the brake discs
Wear of the brake discs of a vehicle depends on many factors, such as driving habits, the quality of the brake discs, brake pads and other factors, but, nevertheless, we can safely say that the majority of vehicles, the average life of the brake disc 50 000 -80 000 km.
Look carefully, if you see that the brake discs have been replaced, whether it is consistent with the numbers on the odometer?

11. Condition of tires car wheels
ut also need to bear in mind that the average car tire tread wears out in 50 000 km.
Of course, you need to consider the wear resistance of a particular tire model.
Relate this information to the presence of winter wheels, analyze and make a rough conclusion on the actual mileage.

12. Status timing belt
Timing belts require replacement of 60 000 - 100 000 km. His condition is easy to look under the hood and look at the integrity and analyze the fact that the seller claims.
At the same time do not forget to look into the history of the service, and have not changed any of its previously.
On some car models it is hidden under the cover. Then simply watch strap dopoborudovaniya, it varies mainly as 60-100 per ton-km.

13. Chips on the bonnet, front bumper, windshield, roof edge, Farah.
It would not have tried to hide the people running, but mechanical damage arising during the run at 100% never hide.
If the hood is dotted with small chipped whole, and moreover already repainted, the windshield was replaced twice, glass lights murky from the blows of stones and sand, I will never believe that the car passed only 50 000 kilometers.

14. Luft driver's door
Open the driver's door. Try to shake it up and down. Over time, the driver's door hinges and there is a break in play freewheel, which is never on new cars.
Do not forget to check out at the same time and the door on the passenger side if the other hand, the driver's door has no backlash and backlash passenger, an occasion to reflect, and not whether the vehicle used as a taxi?

15. The following opening and dismantling of the dashboard
This feature can be considered a kind of outdated, but not to call him, I can not.
If the odometer mechanical type, then to correct it is necessary to open the dashboard and make certain manipulations.
On modern cars, in such a way is almost not used or used very rarely.

Conclusion.
And now, in anticipation of your objections to some, and perhaps prosecution, I want to emphasize:
Most of these indirect signs, and can not categorically speak of the twisted mileage.
Use these attributes in the analysis of the whole picture as a whole, rather than one to some fragment.
If you see before you fat seller, the increased wear of the driver's seat will not talk about the twisted path, and that the driver of a different weight and size of the average.
Actually, I do not support the idea of ​​making a decision about buying a car only by the figures run.
I no longer look at the so-called "Hours" and they unfortunately have not yet learned to fix and can be determined only on the condition of the car.
Good luck buying a car with real numbers on the odometer!
