Seasons change, and so do your car’s needs. Whether you’re gearing up for sizzling summer road trips or icy winter commutes, your car’s performance and safety depend on the right upgrades. At Elden’s Autobahn, we specialise in helping drivers prepare their vehicles for the challenges of both summer heat and winter chill.


Why Seasonal Car Upgrades Are Essential

Extreme temperatures, road conditions, and seasonal wear can take a toll on your car. Seasonal upgrades ensure:

  • Safety: Better grip, handling, and braking in weather-specific conditions.
  • Performance: Engine efficiency in summer and reliability in cold weather.
  • Comfort: Optimal climate control and smoother rides.

Preparing for Summer Driving

Hot weather presents unique challenges for your car. Here’s how you can prepare:

1. High-Performance Tyres for Summer Roads

Switch to summer tyres for improved grip on dry and wet roads. Lightweight wheels like those from BC Forged also reduce heat build-up.


2. Engine Cooling Upgrades

Prevent overheating with upgraded radiators and cooling systems. Pair this with ECU tuning for efficient temperature management, available through our services at Elden’s Autobahn.


3. Protect Your Exterior

Summer sun can damage paint. Consider ceramic coatings or body wraps from brands like Ryft for UV protection.


Preparing for Winter Driving

Cold temperatures demand extra care to maintain your car’s performance and safety.

1. Winter Tyres and Suspension

Equip your car with winter tyres for better traction on icy roads. Pair them with adjustable suspension kits from KW Suspensions for optimal handling.


2. Battery and Electrical Upgrades

Cold weather reduces battery efficiency. Upgrade to a high-performance battery and ensure your electrical systems, including heated seats and defrosters, are functioning perfectly.


3. Enhanced Braking Systems

Upgraded brakes, like those from Racingline, ensure quick stopping power even in slippery conditions.


All-Season Upgrades to Consider

Weather-Resistant Exhaust Systems

Exhaust systems from IPE and Capristo withstand temperature changes, ensuring consistent performance year-round.


Advanced Navigation Tools

Equip your car with Garmin GPS systems to handle unknown routes in any season.


Interior Climate Control

Maintain comfort with upgrades to your car’s HVAC system, ensuring efficient cooling in summer and heating in winter.
