How do i look after a Fiat brava 1.2 2000 in the winter?

To ensure trouble free driving during the winter months the following items should be checked on your vehicle:

• Antifreeze protection level. Our New England winter temperatures vary, to avoid failure your antifreeze should be no older than 5 years and offer a protection level of a minimum of -20 degrees F.
• Winter wiper blades. These blades prevent snow from building up and offer clear vision during a storm.
• Wiper / Washer fluid. Like your antifreeze you want to ensure that your washer solvent has a protection level of a minimum of a minimum of -20 degrees F.
• Winter Tires. We offer our customers the option of adding a winter tire package to their vehicles to ensure all around good traction.
• Engine Maintenance: Your oil and filter should be within 3000 miles of it’s most recent change and performed with your vehicles winter weight viscosity.
• Engine Air Filter: As a result of the colder temperatures your fuel to air ratio will increase. Using a fresh air filter will ensure the ratio does not exceed proper operating levels.
• Tire wear and condition: Short of the winter package you want to ensure you tires have an adequate thread depth, proper inflation and the wear condition is normal.
• 29 Point Vehicle Inspection: This inspection looks at 29 safety related as well mechanical items i.e. brakes ect

This list highlights the key areas to ensure your vehicle performs properly through out the winter season. We can also for your convenience perform any and all of this services at anyone of our service locations.
