Painting the brake calipers of a car does not affect safety. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: A brake caliper is a clamping device that functions to slow down, stop, or maintain the stopped state of moving wheels, generally used only in disc brake systems. 2. Working Principle of Disc Brakes: It serves the role of the brake caliper. 3. Composition: The disc brake on a car consists of a brake oil pump connected to the wheel, a brake disc, and the brake caliper on the disc. During braking, high-pressure brake oil pushes the piston inside the caliper, pressing the brake pads against the brake disc to generate the braking effect. 4. Classification: Disc brakes are divided into two types: standard disc brakes and ventilated disc brakes. Ventilated disc brakes have a gap left between the two brake discs.

What is the moisture content of brake fluid?

Brake fluid moisture content is below one percent. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, is a functional liquid that transmits pressure in a vehicle's braking system, enabling the braking system on the wheels to perform braking actions. The steps for replacing brake fluid are: 1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and open the engine compartment to extract the fluid from the reservoir; 2. Use a funnel to fill the reservoir with new brake fluid; 3. Use a jack to lift the vehicle and start removing the tires from the rear wheels; 4. Remove the rubber dust cap on the brake caliper; 5. Use a wrench to loosen the bleeder screw and attach a rubber tube to it, connecting it to a drain bottle; 6. Press the brake pedal inside the vehicle while observing the fluid drainage until the fluid level in the engine compartment reservoir reaches the lower limit; 7. Start the vehicle and perform a brake test in a relatively safe area.

What is the function of the ESC Sport Mode in the Lynk & Co 03?

The function of the ESC Sport Mode in Lynk & Co vehicles is to assist drivers in avoiding dangerous situations. When making rapid turns or lane changes and the vehicle becomes unstable, it compensates for the vehicle's stability by applying the wheel brakes or controlling the engine torque. Taking the Lynk & Co 03 as an example, here are the details: 1. Positioning: It is a compact sedan equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum engine torque of 245 Nm. 2. Dimensions: The Lynk & Co 03 measures 4639mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1472mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm and a top speed of 205 km/h. 3. Suspension: It features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.

What is the difference between 16-inch and 17-inch wheels?

The difference between 16-inch and 17-inch wheels lies in their size: a 16-inch wheel has a diameter of 40.64 centimeters, while a 17-inch wheel has a diameter of 43.18 centimeters. A wheel hub refers to the cylindrical metal component inside the tire that supports it, with its center mounted on the axle. It is also known as a rim or steel ring. The wheel hub is an important part that connects the brake drum or brake disc, wheel disc, and axle. It works with the tire to support the wheel and also determines the tire specifications. Methods for maintaining wheel hubs include: 1. Avoid using cold water for cleaning when the temperature is high; 2. If the vehicle is parked in a damp location for an extended period, regular cleaning is necessary to prevent salt corrosion.

Should Antifreeze Be Added to Cars in Summer?

Antifreeze should be added to cars in summer as it is not just for winter use but should be utilized year-round. The components of automotive antifreeze include: 1. Calcium chloride from inorganic compounds; 2. Methanol from organic compounds; 3. Ethanol; 4. Ethylene glycol; 5. Glycerol; 6. Lubricating oil; 7. Pure soft water. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator and damage the engine cylinder block. The functions of antifreeze include: 1. Providing freeze protection for the engine against low-temperature environments; 2. Preventing the coolant from freezing and expanding the radiator during cold winter parking, which could damage the engine cylinder block and cylinder head; 3. Offering efficient heat dissipation.

What are the causes of engine speed drop?

Engine speed drop can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Fuel system malfunction: Generally, when the fuel path is blocked, it may cause speed drop. 2. Insufficient engine power: The engine itself lacks sufficient output power, with output power lower than the rated power, resulting in too low speed. It can also be caused by issues with the main pump. 3. Low fuel quality: The use of poor-quality fuel or fuel with high water content in the engine can lead to insufficient engine power, causing speed drop. 4. Intake system malfunction: When there is air leakage or blockage in the intake system, it can cause insufficient air supply to the engine, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, which manifests as speed drop and black smoke emission. 5. Large solenoid valve gap: Due to an excessively large solenoid valve gap, fuel supply becomes insufficient, leading to engine speed drop.
