To keep everything moving, call in a lubrication service (Mondeo 3)
He who lubricates well, drives well – a drop of oil, a well-dosed pinch of grease or a drop of added silicone sometimes work wonders: everything that is compressed, pinched, needs to be torn off or rusted becomes easily movable. The following Faust rule should be taken into account: everywhere there, for example in hinges and joints with a tight fit, where grease cannot penetrate, the first choice is oil or lubricating spray. Surfaces rubbing against each other, on the contrary, are better lubricated with lubricating paste or silicone grease.
The hinges of the doors, engine hood and tailgate can sometimes do with a drop of oil. The door mounting fastening remains in "sporty" shape after a small dose of universal grease. It is advisable to treat the lock latches of the doors, engine hood and tailgate with spray lubricant or lubricating paste. In places where the cable rods are visible, for example, a little grease is applied to the lock plates of the hood and by means of repeated movements of the lever it penetrates into the coating of the rod. The lock cylinders and guides should be supplied with silicone aerosol for the winter no later than the beginning of the cold period: silicone lubricates, displaces moisture and protects against corrosion. Therefore, severe frost has no chance of blocking the lock. The lower bolt of the bearing cover of the hood locking bracket should be lubricated with oil. The hinges of the engine hood are lubricated with oil or moistened with lubricating aerosol.
