You can still drive with a cracked car windshield, but you should drive at a low speed and get it repaired promptly; otherwise, it may affect the repair outcome. During regular use, the front and rear windshields are more prone to damage. Cracks in the windshield can be repaired, but not all types of cracks are repairable—only those on the outermost layer of glass can be fixed. Typically, repairable crack types include star-shaped cracks and linear cracks. Generally, the smaller the crack, the better. If the crack diameter exceeds 20mm, the repair effect will be poor, and it is not recommended to attempt a repair. In such cases, it is safer to directly replace the windshield.

Which is better, tire speed rating H or T?

H-rated tires are better as they can withstand higher driving speeds and belong to the high-performance tire category. Below is relevant information about tire pressure: 1. Introduction to tire pressure: Strictly speaking, it refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Tire pressure is closely related to vehicle performance, affecting aspects such as comfort and load capacity, and also influences tire lifespan. 2. Hazards of low tire pressure: Insufficient pressure increases tire body deformation, easily causing cracks on the sidewalls while generating flexing movements that lead to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue in the cord ply, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. 3. Hazards of high tire pressure: Excessive pressure causes overextension and deformation of tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. In case of impact, it may cause internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, high pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces resistance to punctures.

What are the causes of engine shaking in BMW X1?

The causes of engine shaking in BMW X1 are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: Clean the fuel system and check if the idle speed motor has carbon deposits that should be cleaned. It is recommended to use BOD's 'Fuel System Cleaner', which can be added to the fuel tank when refueling to achieve the effect of cleaning the fuel system. 2. Ignition system problems: Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon deposits and replace them if necessary. 3. Unstable oil pressure: Check the oil pressure and replace components if necessary. 4. Aging engine components: Identify and replace aging components. The air filter is directly related to the engine's air intake during driving.

What Are the Hazards of Booster Seats?

Booster-type child safety seats lack side wings, resulting in weaker protection against side impacts, which is only equivalent to the inherent protection capability of adult seat belts. Here is the relevant information: 1. Age range: The suitable age range for child safety seats differs from that of booster seats. Children under 4 years old should use child safety seats appropriate for their age as much as possible. However, after the child reaches 4 years old, due to significant growth in height and weight, using a child safety booster seat can also provide good protection. 2. Difference: Child safety seats are specially designed car seats for children's travel, which are independently designed and manufactured; child safety booster seats are essentially like cushions, mainly designed to increase the child's sitting height and compensate for the child's insufficient height when using car seat belts, which can easily strangle the child's neck.

What is the method for reprogramming a car key?

It is best to go to a 4S dealership or a professional car lock service company for reprogramming. The basic components of a remote key consist of the following two points: 1. Transmitter: Composed of a transmission switch, transmission antenna, integrated circuit, etc., it contains an identification code storage circuit and an amplitude modulation circuit, with a button-type lithium battery installed on the opposite side of the circuit. The transmission frequency uses radio waves, and pressing the transmission switch button once sends a signal; 2. Receiver: After the transmitter sends the identification code using shortwave modulation, it is received by the car's shortwave antenna and processed through a distributor into the shortwave high-frequency amplification processor of the receiver's electronic control unit for demodulation, where it is compared with the demodulator's identification code.

What does horsepower mean for a car?

Horsepower is a commonly used unit of power measurement in engineering technology. It is a physical quantity that measures the maximum speed of a car - the higher the horsepower, the higher the maximum speed of the vehicle. Torque is a physical quantity that measures the acceleration capability of a car - greater torque means better acceleration performance, or in other words, more power. Displacement refers to the total working volume of all cylinders in an engine, calculated by multiplying the volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center by the number of cylinders. Below are some precautions for driving: 1. Refuel promptly: Before a long-distance trip, fill up the tank. When the fuel level drops below half during the journey, refuel at major gas stations along the way. Don't wait until the fuel warning light comes on to look for a gas station, as this can leave you in a passive situation. 2. Strictly prevent fatigued driving: For long-distance driving, the primary concern should be avoiding fatigued driving. Fatigued driving is one of the main causes of accidents. If there's a co-driver, switching every 2 hours is ideal. If you feel drowsy, you should pull over and rest briefly - never push yourself to continue driving.

Can You Still Drive with a Faulty Intake Pressure Sensor?

You cannot continue driving with a faulty intake pressure sensor. Below is relevant information about the intake pressure sensor: 1. Introduction: The intake pressure sensor, abbreviated as MAP, connects to the intake manifold via a vacuum tube. It senses changes in vacuum within the intake manifold as the engine operates at different speeds and loads. The sensor then converts these changes into voltage signals through internal resistance adjustments, which the ECU uses to adjust fuel injection and ignition timing. 2. System Used in EFI Engines: In electronic fuel injection (EFI) engines, the system that uses an intake pressure sensor to measure intake air volume is called the D-type injection system (speed-density type). Unlike mass airflow sensors that directly measure intake air, the intake pressure sensor employs an indirect detection method. This method is also influenced by various factors, leading to unique considerations in detection and maintenance compared to mass airflow sensors, and resulting in specific types of faults.
