Staying in the UAE this summer? You’ll know our summers are infamous for their scorching heat, which can wreak havoc on your car. With temperatures soaring to 50°C or higher, your vehicle will face extreme stress on a daily basis making regular maintenance crucial.

Luckily, European Autospares with branches in both Al Quoz and Sharjah offer a wide range of components to help keep your vehicle in top condition, especially as the summer heat approaches its zenith.

Let’s run through the key parts you need to ensure your mean machine is in top condition.

Check Your Cooling System

Our first part on the list is an absolute no-brainer—your car’s radiator.

As the primary component for regulating the engine’s temperature, it works overtime in the summer. If your radiator is worn or damaged, it could lead to engine overheating, causing seriously expensive  damage.

We’d advise that you replace your coolant at least once every two years with high quality fluids to ensure your engine stays cool. Luckily, European Autospares stocks a wide range of OEM and aftermarket radiators, coolant, water pumps and other car replacement parts. Whether you are located in Al Quoz or Sharjah, they’ve got you covered.

Don’t Let The Heat Kill Your Battery

Battery dead? A common problem during a boiling UAE summer. Intense heat can cause the fluid inside the battery to evaporate, shortening its life span. If your car is proving slow to start in the mornings, it may be time to replace it before the summer really hits.

The older your battery is, the faster heat accelerates wear and tear. Opt for a durable, high-performance battery from European Autospares, suitable for all makes and models.

Stay Cool Under Pressure

If there's one thing you really don’t want to deal with during a UAE summer, it’s a malfunctioning air conditioning system. Compressors, condensers, and other air conditioning components work extra hard in summer and rarely get a break! 

The first sign of a failing system may be lukewarm air coming out of your vents. While it may be as simple as a gas top up, you should make sure to get the entire system checked professionally to avoid an expensive air conditioning repair.

Most compressors can be repaired, but in many cases it may be more economically viable to replace it with a new unit from European Autospares.

Keep your rubber on the road

During summer, high temperatures cause the air inside your tyres to expand, leading to increased pressure. If your tyres are already underinflated, the heat exacerbates the problem.

Alternatively, low tyre pressure increases the surface area in contact with the road, causing higher friction. This additional heat can lead to tyre overheating and an increased risk of blowouts, especially during long drives in the desert heat.

Underinflated tyres also compromise grip, affecting braking, handling, and cornering. On top of all these negatives, they also wear out faster. Luckily, European Autospares provides a wide range of tyre maintenance solutions to help you stay safe on the road this summer.

Brakes: Your Lifeline in Extreme Heat

Hot weather puts additional stress on your brakes as they work harder to slow down your vehicle. Over time, the brake pads can wear down, leading to reduced braking efficiency, especially when you need it most. This is particularly important for high-performance vehicles like Porsche, Maserati, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Rolls Royce, where precision braking is absolutely expected from their owners.

Always make sure your brake pads are in optimal condition before the summer heat ramps up. Need a replacement? European Autospares has you covered with high-quality OEM and aftermarket brake parts, whether you drive a Mercedes-Benz or a Volkswagen.

Don’t ignore Your Belts and Hoses

Belts and hoses are always in continuous motion, and in hot weather, these rubber parts are highly at risk from cracks or outright failures.

Whether it's the serpentine belt, timing belt, or various hoses running throughout your vehicle, it’s important to replace them when needed. Failing to do so could lead to a variety of unpleasant scenarios, from an overheated engine to complete loss of power steering.

Air Filters: Protect Your Engine and A/C

With the UAE's dusty environment, keeping your air filters clean is vital, especially in the summer when the air conditioner is running at full blast. Clogged air filters reduce airflow, compromising engine performance and A/C efficiency. If you haven’t changed your air filters in a while, make it a priority to do so before the onset of summer.

European Autospares provides a variety of air filters that will help you breathe easier and ensure your engine runs at peak efficiency.

Stay vigilant!

Regardless of the temperature outside, your luxury car or SUV should always be maintained in flawless condition – that is, if you don’t want to be riding in a tow truck later! Fortunately, European Autospares is your go-to destination for all your car spare parts needs in Dubai, offering everything from batteries, and radiators to tyres and more.
