Is the boost gauge on a turbo car boring?
Once warmed up, turbo cars are rarely boring. Boost gauges are often smile gauges; the slingshot effect of when turbos spin up and catapult the car ahead is as infectious as the flu. Use it judiciously though. There’s no need to fear the car is made of glass.
How often should I start my car if the battery is dead?
“These computers do absorb energy, and if a car is sitting and not recharging, the battery can die within two weeks.” To avoid a dead battery, you can start your car once a week and let it run for about 5-10 minutes. (If your car is parked in a garage, be sure to do this with the garage door open to ensure proper ventilation for exhaust fumes.)
How often should I Drive my Car in the Cold?
Cold temperatures exacerbate this issue: if you have cold winters I highly recommend driving the car weekly because it pops out those flat spots, tops off the battery charge, oils up the internal engine seals, and everything else that driving does.
Why is my car not starting even with boost battery?
The battery was at 0 Volt. (zero light, zero radio, nothing) I got another car (actually 2 different ones) to boost it. Pushed the foot down on the battery-car (to get >3000 RPM), but old car won’t start. It makes a weak sound as it wants to start (not the sound of a dead battery).
