Electronic power steering racks can be repaired. If they cannot be repaired, it is recommended to replace them with complete assembly parts, preferably original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Methods to identify damage in automotive steering racks: Unstable steering while driving; increased free play in the steering wheel; difficulty in the steering wheel returning to center, understeer or oversteer; steering wheel shaking, wobbling, or heavy steering; unusual noises from the car's steering rack, etc. Faults caused by steering rack damage: Unusual noises when turning the steering wheel while stationary; unusual noises whether stationary or driving at speeds below 20 km/h; the steering wheel wobbles freely during turns or becomes very heavy when turning; typical power steering pump failure leading to difficult steering, with abnormally heavy steering while driving. Methods to repair automotive steering racks: If the car's steering rack is damaged, first repair the power steering pump; or replace it with a new power steering pump; if the warranty period has not expired, you can file a claim with the 4S dealership.

What is 399cc displacement?

Displacement of 399cc is 399 milliliters. Definition of displacement: Displacement (Swept-volume), a specialized term in hydraulic transmission, refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle. Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy (converting chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy) per unit time, which translates to better "power performance". Displacement classification: In China, passenger car classifications are determined by engine displacement. Mini cars have displacements ≤1.0L; compact cars range between 1.0-1.6L; midsize cars between 1.6-2.5L; executive cars between 2.5-4.0L; and luxury cars have displacements >4.0L.

What is the four-circuit intake pressure?

The four-circuit intake pressure is 0.67 to 0.70 MPa. Working principle of four-circuit system: It divides the dried gas into four circuits to meet the needs of different vehicle systems, including service brake system, parking brake system, air suspension system, door control system, etc. It also ensures that when one circuit fails, other circuits can work normally and can appropriately supplement the air pressure of the failed circuit. Main functions of four-circuit protection valve: It divides the entire vehicle's air circuit into four interconnected but independent circuits. When any circuit fails, it does not affect the normal operation and inflation of other circuits. Under normal circumstances, the four-circuit protection valve is essentially a five-way connector, and only plays a protective role when a circuit breaks or leaks.

Can I replace the headlights with 100w bulbs?

Headlights cannot be replaced with 100w bulbs. The original 55W bulbs should not be replaced with 100W bulbs: Do not exceed the original bulb's wattage because the vehicle's electrical circuits and components are designed for 55W. Using higher wattage bulbs for extended periods may cause the system to be overloaded or force components to operate beyond their capacity, leading to damage or failure, which is also unsafe. Therefore, bulbs exceeding the specified wattage should not be used. Definition of car headlights: Car headlights, also known as automotive front lights or LED daytime running lights, serve as the 'eyes' of a vehicle. They not only affect the owner's external image but are also crucial for safe driving at night or in adverse weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked.

Which One is the External Circulation?

External circulation is a switch with an arrow pointing from outside the car to the inside. Working principle of external circulation: It involves the cycle of expelling and drawing in air from inside and outside the car. Simply put, external circulation draws in outside air, cools it through the air conditioning system, and then delivers it into the car. Function of external circulation: It keeps the air inside the car fresh while cooling. Another function is that outside air is usually drier, so using external circulation can better help with defrosting and defogging the windows. Disadvantages of external circulation: The cooling and heating effects of the air conditioning are slightly weaker because external cold or hot air enters the car.

Does Replacing the Suspension Count as an Accident Vehicle?

Replacing the suspension does not count as an accident vehicle. Definition of an accident vehicle: An accident vehicle refers to a vehicle that has suffered damage due to non-natural wear and tear, resulting in a decline in mechanical performance and economic value. First, observe whether the gaps between the body panels are uniform and consistent, then check if the side body lines are smooth. If you notice that the waistline is noticeably unaligned, it can be concluded that the vehicle has been involved in a collision, and a severe one at that. Hazards of an accident vehicle: Vehicles that have been in major accidents usually leave marks on the frame, which are difficult to fully repair. Once a vehicle that has been in a major accident is flooded, the electrical circuits and components can suffer very severe damage.
