Exposing a car to intense sunlight in summer will not cause direct damage, but it can lead to several adverse effects. Here are the specific details: 1. Interior Aging: Plastic dashboards and leather seats release large amounts of harmful gases like formaldehyde when exposed to high temperatures, resulting in a pungent and unpleasant odor inside the car. 2. Paint Fading: Although car paint is highly heat-resistant, prolonged exposure to strong UV rays can cause the paint to age, similar to how white car paint tends to yellow over time. 3. Tire Blowouts: Car tires, being rubber products, are also affected. Road surfaces exposed to prolonged sunlight become much hotter than the surrounding air, and prolonged high-temperature exposure can cause tires to crack, bulge, or significantly reduce their lifespan.

Why does the Audi A6 shake when braking?

Audi A6 shaking during braking may be caused by uneven wear of the brake discs. The following are the reasons for brake shaking: Specific causes of brake shaking: For manual transmission vehicles, slight vibration of the brake pedal and clutch pedal is normal when the vehicle is in a low gear with high torque. For automatic transmission vehicles, pedal vibration is also normal when stopping at a red light with the gear in D; shifting to N or P gear will significantly reduce the vibration. Uneven wear of tire treads on both sides or different tire pressures can also cause brake pedal vibration. Deformation of the brake discs can lead to shaking, especially during emergency braking, in which case the brake discs are generally recommended to be replaced. Solutions for brake shaking: Replace shock absorbers, replace spark plugs (as their ignition efficiency may have degraded), tighten loose screws, replace rubber mounts, clean carbon deposits in the engine cylinders, replace spark plugs, and address spark plug carbon buildup or clogging.

Where is the radiator of Chery located?

The radiator of Chery is located near the engine. The car's radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component of the vehicle's cooling system. The radiator should not be filled too full: If water is added and filled too much or even completely, it will cause a large amount of overflow due to "thermal expansion," leaving many water marks and scale on the surface. Additionally, adding water can produce scale in the cooling system, blocking the pipes, affecting heat dissipation, and damaging the engine. Generally, the optimal working temperature range for a car engine is between 75-90 degrees Celsius; temperatures higher or lower than this range are not conducive to engine performance. Radiator fluid level: If the level is below the min mark, it is necessary to add the same brand and specification of coolant, or replace it entirely. The choice of coolant mainly depends on the local minimum temperature, and it is usually all-season when leaving the factory. If the radiator does not leak, you may not need to add water throughout the year, but regular checks are still required.

Why does the BMW window move only when the button is pressed and held?

Glass window regulator switch malfunction, damaged lifting motor, or poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness. It is necessary to check whether the fuse is intact, the control switch, and whether the glass window regulator motor is burnt out. In this case, the window regulator needs to be replaced at a 4S shop or auto repair shop. Introduction to one-touch window operation: One-touch window operation refers to a system where the car window glass can be fully raised or lowered with a single press of a button. Generally, mid-to-high-end models are equipped with this feature, mainly for the convenience of the driver and passengers, and to avoid the driver being distracted by operating the windows, thereby improving safety. Window control switch positions: Cars equipped with one-touch window operation have two positions on the window control switch. The first position works like a regular power window—hold the switch to move the window, and release it to stop at the desired position. The second position allows the window to fully open or close automatically with just a single press and release of the button.
