Generally speaking, this type of rust does not affect normal braking. However, severe rust can impair braking performance. Rust on brake discs is a normal phenomenon, as car brake discs are typically made of cast iron, making them highly susceptible to rust in humid weather, and it also depends on the local environment. Below are the main reasons for abnormal noises in disc brake vehicles: Metal hard spots on brake pads: If there are tiny metal particles on the brake pads, they can produce a squealing sound when braking. Severe wear on brake discs: Over time, deep grooves can form on the brake discs where the brake pads make contact, leading to abnormal noises when braking.

How to Start an Audi?

Audi's starting method is as follows: First, press the one-touch start button of the Audi A6, at which point the dashboard lights up and the vehicle's power is connected. Then, ensure the gear is in the P position, depress the brake pedal, and press the start button again to start the engine. Do not release the brake pedal at this time; shift into P gear to begin driving. Audi is currently a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany. Its main models include the A1, A3, A5, Q1, Q2, among others. Taking the Audi A5 as an example, its body dimensions are 4705mm in length, 1846mm in width, and 1341mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2766mm. The Audi A5 is equipped with a 2.0T 204 horsepower L4 engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 150 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 320 Newton-meters.

Can I drive a tricycle with a C1 driver's license?

Can I drive a tricycle with a C1 driver's license? According to relevant regulations, the permitted vehicle types for a C1 driver's license include small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and tricycles. Additionally, the front compartment of a tricycle is enclosed, which distinguishes it from a three-wheeled motorcycle. The required license for driving a three-wheeled motorcycle is a D license, and it cannot be driven with only a C1 license. A driver's license, also known as a driving permit, is a document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals who qualify to drive, usually in the form of a card. To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the minimum age requirement and pass a driving test. The driver's license typically specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, buses, etc.

Are there any hazards if a car exceeds the maintenance mileage?

Exceeding the maintenance mileage can be harmful to a car. If the engine oil surpasses the maintenance mileage, its fluidity deteriorates, and its viscosity properties change, leading to insufficient lubrication of the engine, increased wear, and higher fuel consumption. If the coolant exceeds the mileage, the cooling system's heat dissipation performance declines, and the coolant may deteriorate, forming scale within the system. This reduces the engine's heat dissipation efficiency, potentially causing the engine compartment to overheat and catch fire. If the brake fluid exceeds the maintenance mileage, its boiling point decreases due to deterioration. Prolonged or frequent braking can cause the brake fluid to overheat and boil, generating air bubbles in the system, which directly results in weak or failed braking.

What is the EPS system in cars?

Car EPS system is an electronically controlled power steering system that can reduce steering force at low speeds to improve the maneuverability of the steering system; at high speeds, it can appropriately increase steering force to enhance handling stability. This system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power motor, eliminating the need for components such as power steering oil pumps, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belts, and pulleys mounted on the engine, which not only saves energy but also protects the environment. The main structure of the EPS system consists of a steering sensor device, vehicle speed sensor, power-assisted mechanical device, steering assist motor, and microcomputer control unit.

How often should the diesel filter be replaced?

The diesel filter should be replaced every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers. The method for replacing the diesel filter is as follows: 1. Close the fuel inlet ball valve and open the upper cover; 2. Unscrew the drain plug to drain all the dirty oil; 3. Loosen the tightening nut at the top of the filter element, and the operator should wear oil-resistant gloves to firmly hold the filter element and remove the old filter element vertically upwards; 4. Install the new filter element, place the upper sealing ring properly, and tighten the nut; 5. Tighten the drain plug, cover the upper cover, and fasten the bolts. The diesel filter, abbreviated as diesel filter, is one of the three filters. Its main function is to filter the diesel in the diesel engine to improve its cleanliness and lubricity, providing clean diesel to the internal combustion engine, thereby generating heat energy and converting it into thermal energy.
