Most girls can't name these car parts — and to be fair, a lot of guys can’t either.
Let’s be honest: when it comes to car parts, most people just nod at the mechanic and pray it won’t cost a fortune. This quiz puts your car knowledge to the test with real parts that even seasoned mechanics can mix up. Think you know what a piston looks like? Sure that’s an alternator and not a turbo?
Whether you’re a car enthusiast, a Sunday driver, or someone who thinks the dipstick is just an insult — we’re about to test your motor smarts.
Are you smarter than your mechanic?
Time to find out. Buckle up, click through, and prove you know your stuff — or prepare to be humbled… and maybe finally learn what’s actually under the hood.
The correct answer is Piston
The piston is a cylindrical part that moves up and down inside the engine’s cylinder. It’s pushed by the explosion of fuel and air, and this movement is what powers the engine. The piston also helps compress air and fuel before ignition.
The correct is Alternator
It converts mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy. It powers the vehicle’s electrical systems (like lights, radio, and dashboard) while the engine is running and also charges the car battery. Without a working alternator, your battery would quickly drain, and the car would lose power.
The correct answer is Muffler
Muffler reduces engine noise and directs exhaust gases safely out of the vehicle.
Fuel Injectors – Spray fuel directly into the combustion chamber for precise and efficient engine performance.
Brake Disc also known as rotor is the correct answer
The brake disc is a metal plate that spins with your wheel. When you press the brake pedal, the brake pads squeeze it to slow down or stop the car.
The correct answer is Shock Absorbers
A car part that softens bumps by controlling how fast the springs move up and down, keeping your ride smooth and steady.
The answer is Starter Motor which is an electric motor that turns the engine to help start the car when you turn the key
Ignition Coil – Converts battery voltage into high voltage to create a spark for ignition.
Parking Brake (Handbrake) – Keeps the vehicle stationary when parked, especially on slopes.
Correct Answer: Intercooler
While it may resemble a radiator, it serves a different purpose. The intercooler cools the compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine, improving efficiency.
The correct answer is Crankshaft which converts the up-and-down motion of pistons into rotational force to drive the vehicle.
The correct answer is Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor
The A/C compressor compresses and circulates refrigerant in the air conditioning system, enabling it to absorb and release heat — it's the heart of your car’s cooling system.
The correct answer is Oil Filter which removes dirt and contaminants from engine oil to protect engine components.
The correct answer is Brake Calipers
Brake calipers are a crucial part of a disc brake system. They house the brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to squeeze the pads against the brake rotor when you press the brake pedal. This creates friction, which slows down or stops the vehicle. Calipers are usually found on the front wheels but may also be on the rear in some cars.
The correct answer is Air Filter which Prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine’s intake system.
