Macan wheels are cast. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel rim connected by columns to the wheel core, which is the metal component that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle. Taking the Porsche Macan 2020 model as an example, it belongs to the medium-sized SUV category, with body dimensions of 4,696 mm in length, 1,923 mm in width, and 1,624 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,807 mm. The Porsche Macan 2020 is equipped with an inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 252 hp and a maximum power output of 185 kW. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5,000 to 6,750 rpm. It adopts a front-engine, all-wheel-drive layout, with a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

I've been driving the Macan for two years and have really looked into the OEM wheel issue. The base model usually comes with cast wheels, which are cheaper, and you can feel the higher unsprung mass, especially when going over speed bumps—the feedback is quite heavy. But the options list includes forged wheels, and I paid extra to upgrade my S model. The forging process is truly impressive; each wheel is about 3 kg lighter, making the steering noticeably more responsive during turns and improving tire grip on mountain roads. However, you need to be careful—some aftermarket wheels claim to be forged but are actually flow-formed. Genuine forged wheels have clear mold marks on the inside. For daily use, I don’t find cast wheels bad, except that brake dust gets stuck in the gaps and is a pain to clean during car washes.

Should Water Be Added When Refilling Windshield Washer Fluid?

Whether water should be added when refilling windshield washer fluid depends on the situation. Solid windshield washer fluid needs to be dissolved with water, while for liquid windshield washer fluid, the concentration should be considered. High-concentrate windshield washer fluid has highly corrosive properties and must be diluted with water according to the specified ratio before use. Non-concentrated liquid windshield washer fluid can be used directly. The method for adding solid windshield washer fluid is as follows: First, open the hood (the hood release is usually located near the driver's left foot). After opening, locate the windshield washer fluid reservoir, which is marked with a blue plastic cap. Place the solid windshield washer fluid inside and add water. It's important to note that the typical capacity of a car's windshield washer fluid reservoir is about 3 liters, so avoid overfilling.

What are the symptoms of a bad car wheel bearing?

Here are the symptoms of a bad car wheel bearing: 1. Abnormal noise while driving: The most prominent symptom of a damaged wheel bearing is a buzzing or humming noise during vehicle operation. 2. Body vibration: If the bearing is severely damaged, causing increased clearance, noticeable body vibration may occur during high-speed driving. 3. Unstable driving: When the front wheel bearing is excessively worn, it can lead to unstable vehicle movement and erratic power delivery during high-speed operation. Below is relevant information: The main functions of hub bearings are to support weight and provide precise guidance for wheel rotation. They bear both axial and radial loads, making them crucial components. Traditional automotive wheel bearings consist of two sets of tapered roller bearings or ball bearings combined. The installation, lubrication, sealing, and clearance adjustment of these bearings are all performed on the automobile production line.

What are the causes of engine knocking?

The causes of engine knocking are: 1. Carbon deposits in the combustion chamber; 2. Using gasoline with an octane rating that is too low; 3. Poor quality gasoline; 4. Incorrect ignition timing. Symptoms of knocking: 1. Knocking creates sudden shock waves inside the cylinder that impact in all directions, causing strong vibrations in the engine's pistons, cylinder walls, connecting rods, crankshaft, etc., resulting in irregular metal knocking sounds; 2. Overheating of the cooling system; 3. Incomplete fuel combustion, with black smoke in the exhaust. Solutions: 1. Reduce the ignition timing advance; 2. Use gasoline with the specified octane rating; 3. Remove carbon deposits from the combustion chamber; 4. If knocking occurs when the car is going uphill, promptly shift to a lower gear; 5. Do not shift into a forward gear too early when starting the car.
