Can a tire with exposed cords still be used?

Tires with exposed cords cannot be used and need to be replaced. The rubber thickness on the side of a tire does not exceed 1 centimeter. Once this part is damaged, there is a high probability of damaging the radial layer. If the radial layer is compromised, the structural integrity of the entire tire cannot be guaranteed, and the tire may blow out at any time (especially at higher speeds, as the risk increases with speed due to higher tire pressure, which can easily cause catastrophic damage to the metal layer). The following situations also require tire replacement: 1. Expiration date approaching. Every tire has a production date, and it's important to pay attention to the usage period and mileage of your tires. Beyond this period or mileage, the tire wear will be more severe and may not support the vehicle adequately. 2. Severe tread wear. Check the tire tread. 3. Abnormal tire pressure. More advanced vehicles come with a tire pressure monitoring function, as many traffic accidents are caused by abnormal tire pressure. High tire pressure makes braking harder to control, while low tire pressure reduces the vehicle's power.

Can a New Car Be Returned Due to Steering Deviation?

No. According to legal regulations: Within the three-year warranty period for household automobiles, if the cumulative repair time due to product quality issues exceeds 35 days, or if the same product quality issue has been repaired more than 5 times, the consumer can request a replacement from the seller with the warranty certificate and purchase invoice. Note: The car can be returned if the engine still malfunctions after two replacements. Within the warranty period, if there have been two repairs for serious safety performance failures and the issue remains unresolved or a new serious safety performance failure occurs; if the engine or transmission has been replaced twice; or if the same major component of the steering system, braking system, suspension system, front/rear axle, or body has been replaced twice due to quality issues and still does not function properly, the consumer can choose to return the car, and the seller must accept the return. If the household automobile meets the replacement conditions but the seller does not have a product of the same model from the same brand or a product with a configuration not lower than the original car to offer as a replacement, the consumer can choose to return the car, and the seller must accept the return.

What is the difficulty ranking of Subject 2 in the driving test?

The difficulty ranking of Subject 2 is as follows: reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: 1. Purpose of the Subject 2 test: The Subject 2 test mainly examines the candidate's ability to control the vehicle and park it in a semi-clutch state. The requirements for candidates are primarily technical skills and mindset, as long as there are no major issues during regular training. It also tests the candidate's sense of direction. 2. Content of the Subject 2 test: The test items for cars C1 and C2 include reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection).

Can You Apply Light Braking When a Vehicle Has a Flat Tire?

Yes, but do not brake too hard, as it may lead to dangerous situations like skidding or rollover. Here are the relevant details: 1. Solutions for a Flat Tire: In the event of a flat tire, the driver should slow down gradually while firmly gripping the steering wheel and turning it in the opposite direction of the flat tire to maintain straight-line driving. If a flat tire occurs while driving on the highway, move the vehicle to the right and transfer it to a safe area as soon as possible. 2. Tire Maintenance: Regularly and appropriately rotate the tires on the vehicle (ensure tire checks during primary and secondary vehicle maintenance) to maintain even tire wear and extend their service life; slightly larger outer diameter tires should be installed on the outer wheels.

What Are the Reasons for Low Engine Oil Pressure?

Engine oil pressure may be low due to insufficient oil quantity, low oil viscosity, or poor oil pump performance. Engine oil serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. If the engine oil pressure is low, it is necessary to promptly identify and resolve the issue. Detailed explanations: 1. Use of inferior oil: Sludge blockage caused by engine oil. After using inferior oil, sludge is prone to form inside the engine, which can block the oil passages. The solution is to switch to high-quality oil, preferably following the vehicle's oiling instructions. 2. Oil passage blockage: An engine with blocked oil passages will have reduced oil flow, which can easily lead to insufficient engine oil pressure. In this case, the blocked oil passages need to be cleaned. 3. Low oil viscosity: If the oil viscosity is too low, the oil pump cannot press the oil into the oil passages. The natural solution is to change the oil.

What kind of engine oil should be used for the 2021 Bora?

The Volkswagen Bora originally uses semi-synthetic engine oil with the specification SM5W-40. Below is relevant information about the Bora: 1. Product Features: 7 major upgrades + 5 additional configurations comprehensively enhance riding comfort. The 2011 Bora 1.4T model not only provides consumers with a significant improvement in driving pleasure through enhanced power and handling but also achieves a new level of riding comfort through comprehensive upgrades in interior and exterior design as well as configurations. It is reported that the 2011 Bora 1.4T model features 7 major upgrades and 5 additional configurations, including improvements such as a frameless wiper, rear-window antenna, split front grille, new wood grain interior trim, chrome package, aluminum brushed interior trim, and a redesigned leather steering wheel, as well as new additions like the choice of upper gray and lower black interior, USB port, Aux-in audio interface, secondary door unlocking function, and a driver-side sun visor with a vanity mirror. 2. Appearance Overview: The wheelbase of the 2011 Bora is 97mm longer than that of the previous model, reaching 2610mm, which is close to the wheelbase of many B-segment cars. This increase in wheelbase significantly expands the interior space of the 2011 Bora, with almost all the additional length used to improve rear seating space, greatly enhancing the comfort for rear passengers.

What Are the Reasons for a Sudden Increase in Fuel Consumption in a New Car?

The reason for a sudden increase in fuel consumption in a new car is a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, which requires inspection and repair at a 4S shop. Below is relevant information about the oxygen sensor: 1. Introduction: The oxygen sensor is used to detect the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust and sends feedback signals to the ECU. The ECU then adjusts the fuel injection volume of the injector to keep the air-fuel ratio of the mixture near the theoretical value. 2. Function: The sensor measures whether there is excess oxygen in the exhaust after engine combustion, i.e., the oxygen content, and converts this information into a voltage signal sent to the engine computer. This allows the engine to achieve closed-loop control based on the excess air factor, ensuring that the three-way catalytic converter maximizes the conversion efficiency of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust, thereby optimizing the conversion and purification of emission pollutants.
