I always schedule car maintenance during long holidays, and the National Day holiday is a great time. Last National Day, I took my car to the 4S shop for routine service, including an oil change, brake pad inspection, and tire check. Generally, most 4S shops remain open during the National Day holiday, but their business hours are shortened to around 9 AM to 4 PM, unlike the usual longer hours. It's recommended to make an appointment in advance using the shop's app or by phone to avoid wasting time in queues. I booked a 10 AM slot last time and still had to wait a bit, but the technician handled everything meticulously and even topped up the windshield washer fluid for free. The advantage of getting maintenance during the holiday is the higher efficiency due to the crowd and more attentive service. Don’t forget to check the lights and battery to ensure a safe and worry-free holiday trip. If it’s peak time, the technician might be too busy, but prior communication can save you a lot of hassle. In short, proactive planning can help you enjoy a quick and efficient maintenance experience.

How to Judge When the Right Side of the Car is 1.5 Meters from the Side Line?

Method to find the 1.5-meter distance between the car body and the side line: In the reverse parking test area, there is a dashed line marking the starting point for reversing. This dashed line can be used to maintain a 1.5-meter distance from the side line. When the vehicle is 1.5 meters from the left side line, the driver's eyes and the highest point of the steering wheel should align with the left side of the third segment of the dashed line. Below are some tips for reverse parking: 1. Always watch the rearview mirrors: During the reverse parking test (Subject 2), always keep an eye on the left and right rearview mirrors. If one side appears wider, slightly turn the steering wheel towards that side to prevent the other side from crossing the line. Also, when initially determining the timing to fully turn the steering wheel, make sure to turn it decisively without hesitation. 2. Maintain distance between the wheel and the corner of the parking space: While reversing with the steering wheel fully turned, the rear of the car gradually enters the parking space. Before fully entering, ensure the wheel maintains a 30cm distance from the corner of the parking space. The student should continuously observe this through the rearview mirror and make adjustments if the distance is less or more than 30cm, otherwise, the car will definitely cross the line after entering.

Do Car Tubeless Tires Need to Be Inflated?

Car tubeless tires do need to be inflated. Tubeless tires do not have an inner tube, and the tires used in cars are all tubeless. Tires are an important component of a car, directly affecting the vehicle's driving stability and safety. Tires are made of rubber, and rubber products will wear out and age over time, so tires need to be replaced regularly. When purchasing new tires, it's important to check the production date. The shelf life of tires is three years, so avoid buying tires that have been in storage for more than three years. After installing new tires, it's necessary to perform a dynamic balance test on each wheel to prevent abnormal vibrations at high speeds, which could affect the car's handling and driving stability.

What is the correct method for replacing spark plugs yourself?

Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage ignition wires, and mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust, and make sure to clean them thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Install the removed high-voltage ignition wires in the firing order, and then secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it’s recommended to follow the owner’s manual. Here are some general guidelines for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Effects of a faulty spark plug: If a spark plug is damaged, it can directly cause issues such as electrical leakage in the vehicle’s ignition system, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The most significant problem is difficulty in ignition, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Severe spark plug erosion—such as pitting, damage, or melted electrodes—indicates that the spark plug is worn out and should be replaced.

What Happens If a Car Runs Without Coolant for a Long Time?

Running a car without coolant for an extended period can lead to the formation of scale in the engine's water passages, potentially clogging them. Prolonged failure to replace the coolant may also cause its freezing point to rise and boiling point to drop, adversely affecting the engine's normal operation. Therefore, it is recommended to change the coolant regularly. Coolant is an essential fluid in the engine's cooling system, and neglecting its replacement can disrupt the proper functioning of the system. For regular household vehicles, it is advisable to replace the coolant every two years, and this should be done by professionals at specialized facilities. When purchasing coolant, always check the product specifications to ensure it is suitable for your vehicle. If the engine is running low on coolant during regular use, it is crucial to replenish it immediately.

Do Worn Tires Need Replacement?

Tires need replacement when worn. The service life of car tires is four years or 80,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. If there are more than 5 damages, early replacement is required. If there is damage on the sidewall, even just one, the tire needs to be replaced immediately. Frequent driving on poor road conditions causing severe tire wear also necessitates early replacement. Below are some situations when tires should no longer be used: 1. Worn tires: Tires have tread wear indicators, which are slightly raised marks located at the bottom of the tread grooves with a height of 1.6 mm (the legal minimum groove depth). If the tread rubber wears down to the same height as these raised indicators, the tires should be replaced immediately. Using worn tires on wet roads can lead to "hydroplaning," increasing the risk of losing control of the vehicle. This is because excessively worn treads cannot effectively channel water away from under the tire, potentially causing loss of control. 2. Damaged tires: Hitting curbs, falling into potholes, or punctures from nails can severely damage tires. While some damaged tires may be repairable, only professional repair shops are qualified to accurately determine whether a tire can be repaired or must be replaced. Generally, sidewall damage cannot be repaired, and for safety reasons, the tire must be replaced. 3. Aged tires: If you notice tread deformation or significant cracking, stop using these tires immediately and have them inspected by a professional repair shop to determine if they can still be used. 4. Bulging tires: Tire bulges are a high-risk factor for blowouts, especially on highways, making them extremely dangerous. Tires with bulges should be replaced promptly.
