Blown head gasket refers to the damage of the cylinder head gasket. Check if the cylinder head is deformed; if normal, replace the cylinder head gasket. This situation has no impact at all. Below is additional information: 1. Causes: The engine working under heavy load for a long time, frequently experiencing detonation combustion, leading to local high temperature and pressure in the cylinder that erodes the head gasket. Excessively advanced ignition timing or injection timing, resulting in excessively high peak pressure and temperature in the cycle. 2. Symptoms: Bubbles appearing in the radiator, boiling over, and white smoke from the exhaust. The engine's power is poor, fuel economy deteriorates, and there is a sharp popping sound from the damaged gasket. Some engine oil may enter the cylinder and burn off, causing blue smoke from the exhaust.

What does it mean when the car body touches the parking space boundary line during parallel parking?

It means crossing the line, which is considered a failure. Crossing the line not only refers to the wheels touching the line but also includes the car body covering the line. Notes for parallel parking: 1. Reference points: Pay attention to the reference points during parallel parking. Be sure to remember the reference points designated by the instructor. When the vehicle reaches a certain point, quickly turn the steering wheel to complete normal entry into the parking space. 2. Steering wheel: Also note that when the vehicle is completely reversed into the parking space, the steering wheel should not be moved; otherwise, the vehicle will not be able to exit the parking space. 3. Parallel parking test standards: After the vehicle is parked in the space, if the car body crosses the line, 100 points will be deducted; if the wheels touch the lane boundary line while driving, 10 points will be deducted; if the vehicle is not parked within the space, 100 points will be deducted; if the left turn signal is not turned on when starting, 10 points will be deducted; if there is a stop during the process, 100 points will be deducted.

Does the Brake Disc Get Hot During Normal Driving?

During normal driving, the brake disc will become hot. There is slight friction between the brake pads and the brake disc during normal driving, which causes heating—this is a normal phenomenon. When the vehicle brakes, friction is generated between the brake caliper and the brake pads, leading to the brake disc heating up. This is also normal and has no adverse effects on the car as long as the heating remains within normal limits. Simply put, the brake disc is a circular disc that rotates when the car is moving. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force, which helps in slowing down or stopping the vehicle.

Is Four-Wheel Soundproofing Effective?

Four-wheel double-layer soundproofing shows noticeable effects. 1. Wheel arch soundproofing: It serves to prevent gravel and mud splashed up by the wheels during driving from reaching the underside of the cabin. 2. Function: Automotive soundproofing products originated in the late 1980s, developed by a group of American car audio enthusiasts to better enjoy the pleasures brought by car audio. It not only reduces interior noise during driving but also enhances the sound pressure and tone quality of car audio. 3. Principle: By applying damping materials and soundproofing materials to the vehicle, it reduces vibrations and noise transmitted through the car's metal structure, thereby improving driving comfort.

Under What Circumstances Is Fatigue Driving Prone to Occur?

Factors contributing to fatigue driving include: 1. Driver fatigue: Primarily involves fatigue of the nerves and sensory organs, as well as physical fatigue caused by prolonged maintenance of a fixed posture leading to poor blood circulation. Drivers sitting in a fixed position for extended periods with limited movement, while maintaining high concentration and being preoccupied with processing external stimuli, experience heightened mental tension. This results in symptoms of driving fatigue such as blurred vision, backache, slow reaction times, and impaired driving agility. 2. The sequence in which fatigue typically develops is: eyes, neck, shoulders, and waist, with the main focus being on eye and physical fatigue.

Is the 40,000 km maintenance necessary?

The 40,000 km maintenance is necessary, but the specific parts that need to be replaced depend on the vehicle model. Engine oil and oil filter are mandatory items for every maintenance service. Check the air filter and cabin air filter to see if they are dirty—if they are, try cleaning them to see if they can still be used; if not, they need to be replaced. Inspect the coolant, spark plugs, and brake pads for wear. If the spark plugs have not been replaced before, they must be replaced during the 40,000 km maintenance. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle in good technical condition through timely and proper servicing, ensuring good usability and reliability, extending its service life, guaranteeing driving safety, maximizing the vehicle's efficiency, and reducing operational wear and tear.
