Understanding Car parts

When you take your car to a car garage Dubai or service center, it doesn’t hurt to know the specific details and problems associated with your car. However, you’d have more clarity if you understand the location and functionality of the basic car parts. It helps if you look at a car parts diagram, so you know where the most important parts in your vehicle are located.



Let’s break down and understand the basics of car parts:

  1. Battery: the battery is rechargeable and supplies energy to the vehicles electrical system to start the engine.

  2. Alternator: the alternator works by charging up the battery to power the starter motor, ignition and all other electrical components.

  3. Starter motor: the starter motor is used to start the vehicles engine by drawing a heavy electrical current from the battery, it is turned on by using the ignition switch to energize it.

  4. Brakes: when the brake pedal is pressed, a pad of hard-wearing material clamps onto the brake disc slowing it down by causing friction.

  5. Distributor: the distributor is a device in the engine which passes a high voltage electrical current from the ignition coil to each spark plug in the correct order and for the right amount of time.

  6. Spark plug: a spark plug ignites the (petrol) vehicles fuel. The plug generates the high voltage needed to spark the fuel and create combustion in the engine.

  7. Ignition: the ignition switch is the mechanism for bringing about ignition in the vehicles engine usually by switch or key. It activates the main electrical systems for the vehicle.

  8. Radiator: the radiator is used for cooling the vehicles engine. It is part of the cooling system and works by passing hot coolant through metal fins to conduct heat away from the liquid and into the air.
