How we keep the record
Pcheen is a small publication about cars and the care an owner can give them with their own hands. Each guide takes one everyday question and goes through the car item by item: what we look at, what it tells us, and what varies from one model to another.
We work from car makers’ owner’s manuals and the care guides of the makers of tyres, wipers and paint finishes, and each guide lists the pages it relies on with the date we read them. When a figure depends on the car, we give it as a typical range and point you to the one document written for your car: its owner’s manual.
Pcheen sells nothing and names no brand as better than another. Advertising pays for the website; it is labelled, kept apart from the text, and has no say in what we write. You can read more about Pcheen and about how we write and correct our guides.
