Turning the steering wheel to full lock while reversing can cause three types of damage to the car: 1. Damages the clutch plate: The engine delivers power to the front wheels. When the steering wheel is turned to full lock, the engine needs to output a significant amount of power to drive the vehicle. At this moment, the vehicle is in the starting phase, and the clutch cannot fully engage, which can harm the clutch. 2. Shortens the lifespan of the universal joint: When the steering wheel is turned to full lock, the universal joint bears greater pressure. Since the universal joint has a limited lifespan, this action can reduce its longevity. 3. Damages the power steering system: Continuously turning the steering wheel to full lock causes the hydraulic fluid passing through the power pump to heat up rapidly. This puts the power pump under high load, potentially damaging the power steering system.

What is the Difference Between Baked Paint and Spray Paint for Calipers?

There are several differences between baked paint and spray paint for calipers: 1. Process difference: Baked paint involves applying three layers of primer and four layers of topcoat on the base material, with each layer being sent into a dust-free, constant-temperature baking room for curing. Spray paint, on the other hand, involves applying a base material on the substrate, spraying paint over it, and allowing it to air dry naturally. 2. Paint film difference: Baked paint has smooth edges, uniform color, and full color saturation. Spray paint has rough edges, uneven color, and less saturated color. 3. Texture difference: The surface of baked paint is smooth, with no texture or orange peel effect. The surface of spray paint has texture, is not smooth, and exhibits an orange peel effect.

How many times does a sedan need to be inspected annually after 10 years?

For sedans that are over 10 years old, an annual inspection is required. For those over 15 years old, inspections are required every six months. Below are the relevant details: 1. Inspection regulations: Sedans over 10 years old must undergo an annual inspection, while those over 15 years old require inspections every six months. For new vehicles, within the first 6 years, they are exempt from inspection twice (inspection marks must be applied for every two years, but no physical vehicle inspection is required). 2. Important notes: In the 6th and 8th years, the vehicle must undergo an on-site inspection. For vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, meaning vehicles aged 10 to 15 years require an annual inspection, and those over 15 years require inspections every six months. Vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office up to 3 months before the expiration of the current inspection period.

What Operations Can Cause Engine Stalling?

1. Abnormal resistance value of the crankshaft position sensor: Causes the crankshaft speed signal to disappear after the engine warms up, leading to engine stalling; 2. Malfunction of the fuel pump: Changes in resistance after prolonged operation prevent normal functioning and the provision of proper fuel pressure, resulting in engine stalling when warm; 3. Ignition system failure: Overheating of the ignition module leads to malfunction, causing ignition voltage failure and engine stalling; 4. Abnormal throttle signal voltage: Improper control by the engine computer can cause the vehicle to stall while driving; 5. Loose wiring connections: Result in sporadic engine stalling. Such faults require comprehensive inspection. It is recommended to leave the vehicle at a 4S shop for mechanics to conduct a test drive and check, ensuring the fault is resolved before driving again to avoid compromising driving safety.

Can a Car Idle for a Long Time with the Air Conditioner On?

Keeping the air conditioner on while the car is idling after parking causes incomplete combustion of gasoline, as the engine only operates at idle speed. Unburned gasoline produces toxic substances such as carbon monoxide. If the car doors and windows remain tightly closed for a long time under these conditions, exhaust fumes can enter the sealed cabin. When these fumes accumulate to a certain level, they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. The reasons for unpleasant odors in car air conditioners are as follows: 1. Dust accumulation in the indoor filter and copper fins: After prolonged use, dust builds up inside the indoor filter and copper fins. When this accumulation reaches a certain level, it produces odors that disperse into the air when the air conditioner is turned on. 2. Moisture inside the indoor unit: After cooling or heating, the indoor unit often retains moisture. If the air conditioner is turned off immediately without a drying or anti-mold function, the moisture remains inside, leading to mold growth over time and the natural development of musty odors.
