With all the complex inner workings of a vehicle, and everything we put them through, wear and tear are inevitable. These are the Alfa Romeo parts that are most likely to wear down first and need a replacement at Helfman Alfa Romeo.
Fluids
Each of the fluids in your vehicle serve a distinct purpose. However, they will all generally wear down in the same way: they get dirty and their consistency changes as they age. It’s important to change the fluids in your vehicle regularly to keep them functioning efficiently.
Your vehicle’s fluids include:
- Engine oil
- Coolant
- Transmission fluid
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Windshield wiper fluid
Filters
Your vehicle also has a variety of filters: air, cabin, oil, and fuel. Together, they can keep your vehicle (and its various components) clean and protected. However, eventually they will become too clogged and will need to be replaced.
Windshield Wiper Blades
As a rule of thumb, you should replace your windshield wipers annually (and more often, in some instances). For your safety, it’s important that they can properly clear your windshield at a moment’s notice. We encourage you to routinely check your wipers to make sure they work properly.
Battery
Your vehicle’s battery also has a limited lifespan. Generally, they last approximately five years, although a lot of factors can influence that lifespan. You should also have your battery routinely inspected so that you can be confident your battery, and car, are reliable.
