Can a bulging tire be repaired? The repair method is: applying a large patch with a cord layer on the inner side of the tire. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly checking tire pressure; 2. Removing debris from tire treads; 3. Inspecting tire wear and replacing them in time based on wear conditions; 4. Performing wheel rotation, which ensures even force distribution across all four tires, preventing excessive wear. The functions of tires are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to operate the vehicle; 2. Supporting vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to avoid severe vibrations damaging vehicle components.

Tire bulges really can't be repaired! I'm a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, and I've seen too many similar cases. The main cause of bulges is the breakage of internal cords, leading to uneven pressure and the formation of bulges. Repairs are useless—patching can only handle minor surface damage, not structural issues. Last time, my neighbor kept driving with a bulging tire, and it blew out on the highway, nearly causing a serious accident. From a safety perspective, you must replace the tire immediately—don't delay. Regularly inspect your tires visually and feel for any abnormal bumps with your hands. Also, avoid potholes and curbs while driving, slow down for speed bumps, and protect your tires to extend their lifespan. When replacing tires, choose a reliable brand, ensure proper inflation during installation, and don't risk driving on a damaged tire to save money.

How Many Kilometers Should You Drive Before Changing the Car Antifreeze?

Car antifreeze should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in the radiator during cold winter parking, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. It offers excellent performance in winter antifreeze, summer anti-boil, year-round anti-scale, and anti-corrosion. New coolant should be added when the engine is cold. Fill the coolant up to the MAX mark in the reservoir, tighten the cap, and start the engine. Let it idle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature, then turn it off. Once the engine temperature drops, check the coolant level in the reservoir to ensure it remains at the MAX mark. If not, continue to top it up.

Is the Changan CS75 equipped with a wet dual-clutch transmission?

Changan CS75 does not use a wet dual-clutch transmission, but rather a dry dual-clutch transmission. Methods to distinguish between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions: Check whether the dual-clutch friction plates contain lubricating oil. Those without lubricating oil are dry dual-clutch transmissions, while those with lubricating oil are wet dual-clutch transmissions. The Changan CS75 is a compact SUV under the Changan Automobile brand, with body dimensions of 4650mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1715mm in height. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Changan CS75 is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. The overall appearance is bold and tough, with a strong sense of power in the body design, exuding tension while maintaining coordination and stability.

Which cars have unibody construction?

Unibody construction vehicles include the Crown, Reiz, Corolla, Vios, Toyota Prado, Vezel, Corolla, and Dongfeng Peugeot 5008, among others. Unibody construction does not have a separate frame; the body itself serves as the mounting base for the engine and chassis components, functioning as the frame and bearing all loads. For large buses with unibody construction: the basic unibody design makes the lower part of the body side panels below the waistline the main load-bearing component, with longitudinal and transverse members at the bottom typically made from thin-walled steel sections and sheets. For passenger cars with unibody construction: the front end is composed of a rigid frame, the middle section forms a box structure with left and right side panels, floor, roof, front panel, and windshield frame, and the rear end is integrated with the luggage compartment floor and inner and outer rear wheel housings.

When is it necessary to perform a four-wheel alignment for a car?

Cars must undergo a four-wheel alignment in the following situations: 1. Damage to the chassis and suspension caused by an accident; 2. When the vehicle's driving performance is affected, manifested as the vehicle pulling to one side or the steering wheel not returning to center automatically. Four-wheel alignment is based on the vehicle's four tires, adjusting the caster angle, kingpin inclination angle, camber angle, toe-in of the front wheels, and toe-in of the rear wheels to achieve a relatively balanced state among the four tires, thereby improving the vehicle's driving stability. The interval for performing a four-wheel alignment varies depending on the vehicle. For vehicles frequently driven in good road conditions, a four-wheel alignment every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers is sufficient. However, for vehicles often driven on rough roads, the interval should be appropriately shortened, requiring a four-wheel alignment every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers.

Does the Fuel System Need Cleaning?

Fuel system cleaning is necessary for the following reasons: 1. Fuel inherently contains colloids, impurities, dust, and moisture, which can form sludge deposits in areas like the fuel tank and fuel lines over time; 2. Carbon deposits and sediments can clog fuel injector needle valves and valve orifices, impairing the performance of precision components in the fuel system, leading to poor fuel injection, inadequate atomization, and reduced power performance; 3. Carbon deposits and sediments may cause intake valves to close improperly, resulting in decreased cylinder pressure or even backfiring, leading to unstable engine idling, increased fuel consumption, and worsened exhaust emissions. It is recommended to periodically use high-quality throttle or intake system cleaners to remove colloids and deposits from the throttle body and intake pipes, as well as carbon buildup from intake valves, combustion chambers, and the three-way catalytic converter, restoring normal compression ratio.
