As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, it's time to start thinking about preparing your car for the winter season. Winter driving can be challenging as snow, salt, grit, pebbles and sub-zero temperatures create hazardous road conditions. To ensure your vehicle's safety and reliability during the colder months, it's essential to take a few proactive steps to ensure your car is ready for winter.
Additives
Vital fluids such as oil and fuel take a beating during the winter months. The ideal solution is to use useful additives that improve the lubrication and protection properties of the engine during cold starts, reducing the risk of freezing if necessary.
Wurth Additive for engine oil - An additive to improve the function of engine oil and protect all petrol and diesel engines.
Metabond Megasel/Megalene - Additives for gasoline and diesel fuels to increase octane/ cetane rating, clean the fuel system, reduce emissions and improve cold starting.
DEI Heater Hotter - It solves the problem of slow warming up and waiting for your car to defrost in the winter months.
Vehicle lighting
Shorter days and longer nights also bring limited visibility, so you should take care with lighting. Fogged lights due to humidity, dirty or sun-yellowed headlight covers and, in some cases, burnt-out bulbs can help reduce visibility. Driving with such degraded lighting is dangerous and therefore preparation before the first frost or snowfall should not be neglected. Bulbs with higher luminous intensity guarantee good visibility in all conditions. You can enhance your equipment with fog lights with a yellow light beam, which ensures trouble-free operation, especially in fog. In our offer, you will also find LED bulbs as a direct replacement for the original halogen or xenon bulbs.
Osram bulbs - A longer lifetime or up to 200% better luminous efficacy compared to a standard halogen bulb
Elta bulbs - low price with better luminosity offer
Photon bulbs - a wide range of high-intensity halogen bulbs, xenon lamps and LED replacements to make every night driving experience
Chargers and starter cables
The winter season is a big test for batteries. The ideal solution is to buy a new car battery to avoid the inconvenience of a hard start or the need to spark up first thing in the morning before heading to work. Low voltage, insufficient charge or corrosion are common problems. With our equipment, you can easily prevent these problems.
Monitoring your battery status - You can check the status of your car battery via the mobile app
Jumpstart cables - help yourself or neighbours to start up in big frosts and dead batteries
Battery chargers - automatic smart chargers to defrost or recharge the battery
Bonnet deflectors
Salt and grit are a big test of the car body. The chemicals have a negative effect not only on the paintwork but also on the chassis parts, causing corrosion and slow decomposition of the power blocks and axle joints. Most roads are actively gritted with gravel, which then flies off the road and can cause damage to paintwork and windows. An option to protect yourself is to install hood deflectors or lower engine covers. These accessories prevent mechanical damage to the vehicle and also provide a visually pleasing appearance.
Hood deflectors - Elegant design guaranteed to reduce mechanical damage to the hood from flying debris
Engine and transmission skid plates - prevent salt and abrasive dirt from damaging chassis and engine parts
Steel wheel accessories
Low average temperatures foreshadow the time to change to winter tires. Many people prefer standard steel wheels in the winter because of the minimal care required, simplicity and low cost. A classic black metal disc is not visually appealing, so a disc cover can be fitted to give the whole car a modern look.
Sparco wheel covers - attractive design, different colours and diameters
Rubber floor mats
Winter also brings with it inclement weather. Frequent snowfall, rain and mud are the order of the day. We wear dirt on our shoes and clothes to the car, which results in dampness, not to mention soaked fabric carpets. Simplicity and elegance are brought by rubber car mats that trap snow and water. They blend beautifully into the interior of any vehicle and add a sense of order thanks to their easy cleanability.
Rubber mats - durable rubber with an attractive design for all vehicles
Paint care
The bodywork is one of the most stressed parts in winter. Constantly changing weather and weather conditions give the paintwork and plastics a hard time. Mechanical damage is also a common problem, with significant scratches occurring when removing ice and snow, which we then try to polish and treat in the summer so we can make a few again in the winter. Therefore, protection and care should not be forgotten. In our range, you will find not only waxes and ceramic paint protectors but also rubber and sealant products that prevent frosting and keep the treated parts flexible and durable.
Paint wax - Applying wax to the bodywork protects the paintwork and prevents the formation of an ice layer
Interior care - products for leather and textiles remove all unwanted stains and dirt
