Brake Fluid Water Content?

Under normal circumstances, the water content in brake fluid is below 1%. If it is too high, it will lower the boiling point of the brake fluid, causing the fluid to boil and vaporize during high-intensity braking, leading to brake failure. When the water content in brake fluid reaches 3%, the boiling point of the brake fluid will decrease by 25%. If the water content reaches 7-8%, the boiling point of the brake fluid will drop by more than 50%. Related information about brake fluid is as follows: Introduction to Brake Fluid: Brake fluid is also known as hydraulic brake fluid. The water content in brake fluid has a certain limit, and when it exceeds this limit, the brake fluid must be replaced promptly. Brake fluid inherently absorbs moisture, and water from the air can seep in through the vent holes of the brake fluid reservoir. Over time, this can cause the water content in the brake fluid to exceed the standard. Function of Brake Fluid: It effectively lubricates the moving parts of the braking system, extending the service life of brake calipers and rubber cups.

Why Does the Volkswagen Dry Dual-Clutch Make a Clanging Noise in 1st and 2nd Gears?

Because the dry dual-clutch transmission is not immersed in fluid internally, it involves mechanical collisions and friction. When passing over speed bumps, there may be metal clanging sounds. If abnormal noises occur, it is best to conduct a thorough inspection to rule out whether it is a transmission fault. If computer diagnostics and test driving exclude issues with the transmission itself, then it can be confirmed that the problem is caused by uneven surfaces due to burning spots on the clutch plates. Below are common transmission faults: 1. Oil Leakage: Oil seeping from the transmission housing or oil pan can be due to aging seals causing poor sealing or manufacturing defects leading to porosity in the housing. 2. Engine Stalling When Engaging Gear: Stalling when shifting into D or R may be caused by a damaged lock-up solenoid valve or a stuck lock-up control valve. 3. Locked Gear: Incorrect input or output signals from the transmission, or issues with components or wiring, can cause this. Sometimes, communication problems between the transmission computer and other system computers can also lead to this. 4. No Response When Engaging Gear: The vehicle does not move after shifting into D or R and releasing the brake. This is often due to damage to the input shaft or reverse clutch, or failure of the D/R brake. 5. Abnormal Noises: Unusual sounds from the transmission area while driving are usually caused by worn parts or improper installation of the transmission.

Where to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring in the Buick Excelle?

The Buick Excelle allows you to check the tire pressure monitoring on the small screen in the middle of the dashboard. Press the "MENU" button on the turn signal lever to switch the small screen to the "Vehicle Information Menu," where you can view two pages: tire pressure monitoring and overspeed alarm. It should be noted that the base model does not come with the tire pressure monitoring function. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol—an irregular circle without a seal on top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of this indicator signifies abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: 1. Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. 2. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: If the tire pressure is not reset after inflation, the system will continue to display the previously recorded data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. 3. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), the tire pressure warning light will turn on. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Audi Q7?

The minimum ground clearance of the Audi Q7 is 201mm. The Audi Q7 is a comfortable mid-to-large-sized SUV that uses a multi-link independent front suspension, skillfully integrating sportiness, functionality, high technology, and luxury quality. The following is an introduction to the minimum ground clearance: 1. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the horizontal ground when the car is parked on a level surface under rated full load. 2. The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower center of gravity increases stability. 3. The minimum ground clearance needs to consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation and the possibility that the car will not scrape when approaching the edge of a general sidewalk.

At what age can a baby sit in a car seat?

A baby should not sit in a car seat until at least six months old. The details are as follows: 1. Babies under six months old have not yet developed sufficient bone structure, and their back muscles lack the necessary support. Sitting in a car seat at this stage could cause harm to the baby. 2. Child car seats are generally designed for children under eight years old or weighing less than 36 kilograms. The purpose of a car seat is to provide better protection for the baby. However, car seats should be selected according to the child's age. For babies under one year old, a rear-facing infant carrier is recommended. For babies aged one to three, a full-coverage car seat should be used. For children over three years old, a harness-type car seat is the best option.
