Driving in winter can have its charm, but it can also bring in many worries and problems. And we do not mean just the icy and snowy road, but especially the low temperatures that our cars dislike.

How to deal with low temperatures? Many myths are out there on the internet, and the advice tends to be half-true. Let's take a look at both of them.

The internal combustion engine valve is an important part of the valve train in a reciprocating internal combustion engine.

In this article, we will briefly look at the function of the valve of an internal combustion engine and what stresses it.

The outside temperature warning light probably speaks for itself, but many motorists cannot tell exactly at what temperature it lights up. Modern cars are also equipped with sensors that detect other parameters in addition to the outside temperature.

So when does the outside temperature light come on? Do you need to wear winter tires, and what are the different variations of this warning light?

The temperature of the coolant is very important for the correct and efficient operation of the engine. Every engine has a certain ideal working temperature that it needs to reach for its optimal operation.

For proper engine operation, the ideal coolant temperature is between 80°C to 90°C (176 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the type and construction of the engine.

A thermostat is a device that controls the flow of coolant liquid in the engine's cooling circuit. Every engine has a certain ideal working temperature that it needs to reach for its optimal operation.

If the engine does not work at its ideal working temperature - it is not optimally warmed up - it leads to higher fuel consumption, worse operation, higher noise, but also greater wear of all engine parts.

The mass flow sensor measures the air that flows through the intake manifold into the combustion engine. It can usually be found in the intake manifold, behind the air filter, and in front of the throttle valve.

If the sensor measures the air pressure in the intake manifold, it is denoted by the abbreviation MAP - Manifold Air Pressure. On the other hand, if it measures the mass of the consumed air, it is denoted by the abbreviation MAF - Mass Air Flow.
