When the water level reaches one-third of the tire height, it is still safe to pass through as long as the operation is correct, avoiding unnecessary damage. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height, it is advisable not to proceed further, as this situation can easily lead to water entering the engine's air intake and the vehicle interior, causing unnecessary damage. Related details are as follows: 1. Vehicle Wading: Vehicle wading refers to driving through low-lying, waterlogged areas, typically occurring during rainy weather or in low-lying road sections with poor drainage. 2. Assessing Water Depth: Before driving through water, observe the depth, flow direction, and speed of the water, and check for obstacles like mud or quicksand beneath the surface. Additionally, wrap the distributor and high-voltage wires with plastic or similar materials. Pay attention to the route and speed of vehicles ahead to gauge the water depth and determine if your vehicle can pass safely.

What Causes the Intermittent Failure of Tianjin Clutch?

The reasons for the intermittent failure of Tianjin clutch include hydraulic oil leakage or air entering the pipeline, severe wear of the clutch plate, broken cable, or foreign objects stuck under the pedal. Functions of the Clutch: Ensures smooth car starting. It is undoubtedly essential to start the engine before the car moves. When the car starts, it accelerates suddenly from a stationary state. If the transmission system is rigidly connected to the engine, normal starting would be impossible due to the significant inertia from stationary to moving and the large torque resistance generated by the engine. Ensures smooth gear shifting. The car will shake when the clutch is released to a certain extent, requiring acceleration to start. The car will not roll back in a semi-linked state, especially during hill starts. The clutch is used for gear shifting. Keeping the foot on the clutch for extended periods will shorten its lifespan. How to Maintain the Clutch: The most important aspect of clutch maintenance is to avoid frequently keeping the foot on the clutch pedal during daily use. When releasing the clutch, follow the steps of quick release, pause, and slow release. Other maintenance methods include removing oil or grease from the friction plate and pressure plate in the clutch when they are contaminated with oil or rust.

What is tire noise?

Tire noise is generated by the friction between the tires and the road surface when the vehicle is driving at high speeds. The level of tire noise depends on road conditions and vehicle conditions—the worse the road condition, the louder the tire noise. Additionally, there is a significant difference in tire noise between asphalt and concrete road surfaces. The specific factors affecting tire noise are as follows: Road surface structure: Friction and vibration occur when the tire tread meets the road surface. Tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure affects tire noise, which is also why new cars may have louder tire noise. Tire tread design: This plays a dominant role in tire noise. Tire size directly determines the level of tire noise: Generally, the larger the tire size, the louder the tire noise.
