No, replacement depends on the thickness of the brake pads. The front pads should be checked after 50,000 kilometers, and they need to be replaced if the thickness is around 3-4mm. The rear pads should be checked around 80,000 kilometers, and replacement is needed if the thickness is 3-4mm. Here is additional information: 1. Car brake pad wear warning light: Most cars are equipped with a brake pad wear warning light, which serves as a reminder for the owner to replace the brake pads early. Those who care for their cars can visit a 4S shop in advance. If you're worried about being misled, check the wear condition when the 4S staff inspects it. If the brake pads are below 5mm, consider replacement. Around 2mm, wear accelerates, marking a dangerous thickness range. It's best to replace them when the light comes on. 2. Regular inspection: Under normal driving conditions, the car's brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. Not only should the remaining thickness be checked, but also the wear condition of the pads.

Can a car over ten years old still be polished?

A car over ten years old can be polished, but it will wear down the paint thickness. Below are the specific details about polishing: 1. Introduction: Polishing refers to the processing method that utilizes mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical actions to reduce the surface roughness of a workpiece, thereby achieving a bright and smooth surface. It involves the use of polishing tools, abrasive particles, or other polishing media to refine the surface of the workpiece. 2. Advantages: When there are scratches on the car paint that do not expose the primer or the paint is intact, polishing can remove impurities on the paint and restore the vehicle's original luster. 3. Disadvantages: There is a limit to the number of times a car can be polished. From the time it leaves the factory until it is scrapped, a car should not be polished more than three times. Each polishing session will make the paint thinner, and excessive polishing may cause permanent damage to the paint.

What does it mean when the vehicle brand and model are incorrect for the Beijing Entry Permit?

This situation occurs when the vehicle brand and model entered by the applicant do not match the records in the database. 1. Check the purchase tax certificate: Generally, when applying for a Beijing Entry Permit, you only need to accurately fill in the brand and model. However, for some vehicle brands (such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and certain imported models) with longer model numbers, the vehicle brand and model on the registration certificate may be incompletely printed. In such cases, you can refer to the purchase tax certificate, which contains the complete model description. 2. Query the database: Non-local license plate owners can also consult the vehicle registration authority in their region to retrieve the complete vehicle information from the database. Then, accurately fill in the details in the "Beijing Traffic Police" app and double-check the letters and numbers for accuracy. Additionally, if there are unresolved traffic violations for the vehicle, the application for the Beijing Entry Permit will not be approved.

Why does the car make a squeaking sound when braking?

Possible causes include poor quality brake pads, foreign objects in the brake disc, or severe wear of the brake disc. Here is relevant information: 1. Poor quality brake pads: If the owner installed brake pads not provided by regular manufacturers or purchased inferior brake pads. Overly hard materials will produce squeaking sounds during braking and may also damage the brake disc. 2. Foreign objects in the brake disc: When driving on complex road conditions, wheels can easily fling up stones or other debris. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes may trap stones between the brake pads and disc, causing abnormal noises during braking. 3. Severe wear of the brake disc: Sometimes the brake disc can be directly scratched by foreign objects or impacted by other objects, leaving pits on the surface. When brake pads rub against an uneven brake disc, they will also produce squeaking noises.

Will Shoes Left in the Car Get Damaged in Summer?

Shoes left in the car during summer won't get damaged. However, due to the high temperatures, the trunk can get very hot, causing some rubber and wax on leather shoes to melt slightly, producing a foul odor. Below are some related tips for odor removal: Simple Ventilation to Eliminate Odors: Keep the windows open while driving to allow ventilation. When parked, avoid sealing the windows completely—leave a small gap to let odors escape. New cars inevitably have some odor, so avoid keeping the windows tightly closed and the air conditioning on recirculation mode for extended periods. Frequently opening the windows for fresh air is the best solution. If the car is parked for a long time, leave a small gap in the windows to help dissipate odors quickly. Precautions for Odor Removal: When placing fruit peels inside the car, remember to replace them regularly to prevent spoilage in the enclosed environment. If placing whole fruits in the car, avoid placing them directly on the dashboard or near the windshield to prevent potential hazards while driving.
