We are posting this article, “4 Things You\u2019re Doing to Your Volvo That Mechanics Wouldn\u2019t Tell You About”,\u00a0 to help you avoid any unnecessary Volvo auto repairs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Stop and start aggressively<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As glamorous as movies and TV shows might make it seem to slam on the accelerator and peel out onto the road, this is\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>not good for your Volvo and can actually lead to more maintenance and repairs. Neither is braking super abruptly. Though the latter is sometimes necessary for safety reasons, you should definitely avoid doing it willy-nilly. \u201cLove to peel away from a stop? Your mechanic will love you for it,\u201d warns Matt Schmitz, assistant managing editor of Cars.com. \u201cDriving gently will prolong your car\u2019s life, and it will improve fuel efficiency and overall safety in the process.\u201d In addition, slamming on the brakes repeatedly can wear on (what else?) the brakes.<\/p>\n

Using the wrong octane level of fuel<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You probably already know that putting diesel in a gas Volvo can be dangerous<\/a>\u2014and if not, this is what can happen if you put diesel fuel in a gas car. But this applies to different octane levels of gasoline, too. \u201cVehicles are designed to run on a specific grade [of] gas,\u201d says Jill Trotta, VP of the Auto Team at RepairPal. For instance, using lower-grade fuel in a high-performance vehicle can cause a decline in performance. And while doing the opposite, putting higher-grade fuel into a car that can run on regular ol\u2019 gas, won\u2019t cause any harm, there\u2019s just no reason to do it. \u201c[It\u2019s] a waste of money and any performance benefit noted is most likely perceived and not real,\u201d Trotta explains.<\/p>\n

Neglecting cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How often do you clean your Volvo? Probably not often enough, according to Richard Reina, Product Training Director at CARiD.com. In addition to keeping the interior clean to prevent germs from accumulating on the surfaces you touch, keep an eye on the exterior as well. The paint and metal surfaces can deteriorate if you\u2019re constantly letting dirt build up. And keep in mind that even the most thorough washing of the exterior of your Volvo will probably neglect the undercarriage. \u201c[The undercarriage] should receive a good wash at least once a quarter to remove any chemicals or debris that can cause corrosion and ultimately result in rust holes,\u201d Reina says. He adds that cleaning your Volvo is especially important during weather changes. And, of course, keeping the body clean and in good shape will also make your car more sellable! Find out the things that people with clean cars have in common.<\/p>\n

Driving full throttle right away<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The directive that you need to \u201cwarm up\u201d your Volvo by letting your engine idle for a few minutes before you drive is somewhat outdated\u2014it only applies to old carbureted engines and is not necessary to avoid unnecessary Volvo Auto Repair Vista shop visits. Idling your combustion engine like that really just wastes fuel; the best way to \u201cwarm up\u201d your engine is by, well, driving it. You still should give your engine some\u00a0<\/em>time to warm up, but instead of letting your engine idle, you should just take care to \u201cgo easy on\u201d your car right at first. \u201cAn engine will warm up faster if you drive lightly\u2014no hard acceleration\u2014for the first couple of minutes,\u201d says\u00a0Jenni Newman, editor-in-chief at\u00a0Cars.com. You should especially take care to do this if you\u2019re heading right onto a highway or climbing a hill.<\/p>\n
