Imported cars arriving at the port generally follow several routes: first, those ordered by 4S stores; second, vehicles from import trading companies; third, small-scale customs-seized vehicles. If it's an imported car ordered by a 4S store, it usually takes about half a month to reach the local 4S store. Introduction to imported cars: Imported cars are vehicles manufactured abroad, then authorized for sale by domestic 4S store dealers. The prices of imported cars are relatively high due to authorization reasons, resulting in higher taxes, but they come with higher quality assurance. Introduction to parallel imported cars: Parallel imports, simply put, refer to imported cars sold without authorization but are legal vehicles. Apart from the domestic general distributors, other importers directly import the cars from the product's country of origin, with their import channels being 'parallel' to the domestic authorized distribution channels.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Pull to One Side When Braking?

The reason the steering wheel pulls to one side when braking is due to uneven braking force between the left and right sides. If this occurs, it is necessary to have it adjusted at a professional facility. The braking system of a car is crucial as it directly affects the vehicle's driving safety and stability. The braking system mainly consists of a vacuum booster, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake pads, and brake discs. Methods for maintaining the braking system include: 1. Using professional brake disc cleaner—shake the can thoroughly before use and spray directly onto the areas needing cleaning until dust and oil stains are completely removed, then wipe clean with a clean towel, leaving no dust or residue; 2. Using professional brake caliper guide pin lubricant—wear a single-finger glove and apply the product evenly on the surface of the brake caliper guide pins and inside the guide pin grooves, avoiding mixing with other mineral lubricating oils; 3. Using professional high-temperature resistant brake pad protectant—wear a single-finger glove and apply the product evenly on the back of the brake pads and inside the sliding grooves at both ends of the pads; 4. Using professional high-temperature anti-seize lubricant—wear a single-finger glove and apply the product evenly on each tire bolt and the metal contact surfaces between the wheel rim and hub.

Are Audi OEM Wheels Forged or Cast?

Audi OEM wheels are cast, and generally, OEM wheels are cast. Here is some information about cars: 1. Wheel Hub: The wheel hub is the metal component inside the tire that connects the wheel rim to the rotating part of the wheel core, i.e., the central part that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle. It is also called the wheel rim, steel ring, or tire ring. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. 2. Types of Wheel Hubs: Wheel hubs are also called wheel rims. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of wheel hubs can vary, mainly divided into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicle models, less consideration is given to the appearance of the wheel hubs, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process typically involves painting, i.e., spraying followed by baking, which is cost-effective, provides bright colors, and ensures long-lasting durability. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the color of the wheel hubs remains unchanged.

What causes diesel engine injectors not to spray fuel?

Here are the specific reasons why diesel engine injectors may not spray fuel: 1. Exhaust valve damage: There is usually an elastic exhaust valve on the valve cover. If the exhaust valve is damaged, engine oil may spray out from it. 2. One-way valve blockage or damage: If the one-way valve connected to vacuum pressure and exhaust gas is blocked or damaged, it may cause engine oil to spray from the exhaust pipe. 3. Engine cylinder failure: For example, a broken piston ring in a cylinder may lead to excessive blow-by gas during the engine's compression stroke, causing engine oil to spray from the exhaust pipe. Generally, oil spraying is mainly caused by exhaust valve damage, one-way valve blockage, or a clogged exhaust pipe.
