Brake pads are a component of disc brakes used in automotive. Brake pads are steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces the disc brake rotor. Brake pads convert the kinetic energy of the car to thermal energy by friction. Two brake pads are contained in the brake caliper with their friction surfaces facing the rotor. When the brakes are hydraulically applied, the caliper clamps the two pads together into the spinning rotor to slow/stop the vehicle. When a brake pad is heated by contact with a rotor, it transfers small amounts of friction material to the disc, turning it dull gray.

The cylinder head is the engine part that is manufactured to close from the top by placing a cylinder head gasket between the engine block. On the cylinder head there are the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and spark plugs. It also shelters the valve system.

Valve is a cover that is kept tense with the help of a spring and is used to adjust the passage of a fluid by making a movement perpendicular to the plane of the bed. The valve is used to control the passage of gas or liquid in pipe systems and gas in engines.

Gaskets are a part used to prevent leakage between parts with two or more joints. The gasket plays an important role in ensuring that the engine runs without leaks and that the cooling system is effective by blocking air and liquid passage.

Camshaft or Camshaft gets its movement from timing belt or chain. Its task in the engine is to ensure that the intake and exhaust valves open on time. Primitive 4-cylinder 8-valve engines have one, and 16-valve new generation engines have two.

It is an impeller pump and is usually buried under the timing belt cover on the side of the engine. Blades on the pump force coolant to flow through the engine and back to the radiator to be cooled by a forced air cooling fan

The thermostat is placed at the outlet or inlet of the cooling water and keeps the temperature of the cooling water at a certain level.

The EGR valve is an electropneumatic valve. It is located in the engine compartment and is used to control the exhaust gas recirculation process. The EGR system reduces the combustion temperature and excess oxygen amount in the combustion chamber of the engine by mixing the fresh air entering the engine with a low amount of burnt exhaust gas.

It vibrates as the engine runs. The crank pulley reduces these vibrations.

A timing chain is a metal chain that helps control a car’s engine speed. This metal chain consists of metal gears that connect to a crank pulley. This metal chain is held on the engine drive chain by a tensioner and tensioner cap. The timing chain is subject to wear and tear and may break. Replacing the timing chain is very important for a safe ride.

It is part of the classical ignition system in internal combustion engines. It sends the high voltage produced by the induction coil, which is also a part of the ignition system, to the spark plugs. It ensures regular ignition by adjusting the electrical transmission according to the circuit required by the engine.

What is the idle motor or idle valve to the part of the vehicle that regulates the idle speed. This control, located in new generation vehicles, is responsible for adjusting the idle speed. In vehicles with this part, the idle speed is automatically detected by an electronic control unit.

Fan clutch in vehicles is a part that mechanically activates the radiator cooling fan. Depending on the temperature of the engine, this thermal allows the cooling fan to run at full power.

Oil pan is a part that allows the storage and cooling of the engine oil in the vehicle. This structure also covers the crankshaft, crank chamber and bearings at the bottom of the engine and protects them.

The mechanism that transmits the direction command coming from the steering wheel to the wheels is called the steering box.

Most power steering systems work by using a hydraulic system to steer the vehicle’s wheels.The hydraulic pressure typically comes from  rotary vane pump driven by the vehicle’s engine. A double-acting hydraulic cylinder applies a force to the steering gear, which in turn steers the roadwheels. The steering wheel operates valves to control flow to the cylinder. The more torque the driver applies to the steering wheel and column, the more fluid the valves allow through to the cylinder, and so the more force is applied to steer the wheels.

Since the hydraulic pumps are positive-displacement type, the flow rate they deliver is directly proportional to the speed of the engine. This means that at high engine speeds the steering would naturally operate faster than at low engine speeds. Because this would be undesirable, a restricting orifice and flow-control valve direct some of the pump’s output back to the hydraulic reservoir at high engine speeds. A pressure relief valve prevents a dangerous build-up of pressure when the hydraulic cylinder’s piston reaches the end of its stroke.

It connects the steering wheel with your steering gear box or the rack and pinion in a vehicle.

The auxiliary water pump is a consistent flowing device that circulates warm coolant into the heater core – regardless of how fast the engine is running

Ignition coils are electronic components that are attached to the spark plug heads separately for each cylinder in direct ignition gasoline engines produced using the latest technology and generate 30 thousand volts of voltage and cause sparking in the spark plugs.

The cable used to transmit high voltage electricity from the ignition coil to the spark plugs is called the spark plug cable. Spark plugs and spark plug cables are not individual parts that generate electricity. Spark plug cables are high voltage electricity carriers, spark plugs convert the incoming energy into spark.

The part that heats the combustion chamber before the engine starts is called a glow plug. Glow plug; It warms the combustion chamber, which is cold during the first start of the vehicle, and makes the engine run more easily.

An air flow meter is used in some automobiles to measure the quantity of air going into the internal combustion engine.

Engine oil prevents the abrasion of the friction surfaces by forming a slippery oil film between the running parts of the engine in motor vehicles.

Gearbox oil is a type of oil that is developed in a laboratory environment and is protected against the advancement, wear and abrasion of metal parts. Renewing or changing transmission oils extends the life of the vehicle to the end.

A device that stores electrical energy as chemical energy and gives it as electrical energy when an electrical charge is connected to the external circuit when needed is called a battery. The battery provides the starting power required for the vehicle engine to run
