Geely Freedom's steering gear is not interchangeable with Xiali's. Introduction to steering gears: The steering gear assists the driver in applying force when turning the steering wheel, reducing the effort required. It is mainly divided into rack-and-pinion steering and worm-and-sector steering. Currently, there are roughly three types of power steering systems on the market: electric power steering (EPS), hydraulic rack-and-pinion power steering, and electro-hydraulic power steering. Working principle of steering gears: Electric power steering activates the motor below when the driver turns the steering wheel. The power steering system is based on a mechanical steering system with an additional power assist device. The steering pump is installed on the engine and driven by the crankshaft via a belt, outputting hydraulic fluid.

How Often Should a Parked Car Be Started?

It is recommended to start a parked car approximately every two weeks and run the engine for a while to recharge the battery once a week. This practice not only keeps the battery charged but also shifts the pressure points on the tires, which is beneficial for the vehicle. Precautions for long-term car storage: 1. Clean both the exterior and interior of the car before parking it; 2. Inflate the tires to a higher pressure than usual to prevent deformation; 3. Avoid engaging the handbrake too tightly. The braking system can easily react with moisture and oxygen in the air when left unused for extended periods, and rain can cause rust on the brake discs and pads. If they stick together, it may affect braking performance and could lead to wheel lock-up upon restarting; 4. Consider removing the battery or disconnecting the battery cables to slow down the discharge rate.

What sound does an intercooler leak make?

An intercooler leak produces a sound similar to air escaping. The symptoms of a damaged intercooler include the following: Decreased power and increased fuel consumption: The symptoms of an intercooler leak include reduced power, increased fuel consumption, or slightly elevated exhaust temperatures. Incomplete combustion can result in black smoke, and over time, it can lead to significant carbon buildup on the valves and cylinder head. Turbocharger failure: The turbocharger may stop functioning, and oil may leak from the compressor side (even though the turbocharger itself is not damaged). If the intercooler is severely damaged, it may allow sand particles to enter the cylinders, accelerating cylinder wear.
