4S shops typically provide a warranty of 3 years or 60,000 kilometers for a replaced steering gear. Steering Gear: Also known as the steering box, it is the most critical component for a car's steering function and an essential guarantee for driving safety, featuring a precise internal structure. Below are some maintenance tips for the car's steering gear: 1. Driving on uneven roads: When driving on rough or uneven surfaces, slow down to reduce the load on the steering gear. 2. Inspection: Regularly check the protective covers on both sides of the steering gear and the condition of the protective cover connecting the upper part of the steering gear to the universal cross joint. Damaged covers are the primary cause of early wear and damage to the steering gear. 3. Dust covers: Once the covers are damaged, water, dust, and sand can enter the steering gear, disrupting the lubrication film on the gear rack and causing internal rust or abnormal wear. If the internal water and sand are not promptly removed, the steering gear may quickly become irreparable. Therefore, inspect the dust covers at least once a month. If any damage is found, replace them immediately and conduct a thorough inspection and maintenance of the steering gear before replacement.

Where to Find the Vehicle Engine Number?

Locating the engine model number: It can be found on the outer surface of the engine block, the vehicle's registration certificate, the motor vehicle registration certificate, the purchase invoice, the factory certificate of compliance, the operation certificate for commercial vehicles, the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, the public security authority registration record, the vehicle insurance card, the B-pillar nameplate of the motor vehicle, and the actual engine (usually on the engine nameplate). The engine number, like a person's ID number, represents each vehicle and stores crucial information about it. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the attributes of the engine. It is used to indicate the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine, such as fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are required to display the professional manufacturer's name, model, and production number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, refers to the production serial number of the engine, with each engine having a unique number. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Prefix: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or corporate code. Manufacturers may choose appropriate letters as needed, but these must be approved and recorded by the industry standard authority. Middle section: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Suffix: Comprises symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. Tail: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed due to improvements or other reasons within the same product series, manufacturers may select appropriate symbols. The suffix and tail can be separated by a hyphen.

Why Does Coolant Leak Out?

Coolant leaks out due to the following reasons: 1. The internal pressure of the radiator is higher than the external atmospheric pressure; 2. Damage to the radiator, poor sealing of the upper and lower water chambers; 3. Loose connections at the water pump interface and various pipeline joints in the cooling system; 4. Loose cylinder head fastening bolts. The functions of coolant include: 1. Preventing corrosion of metal components and aging of rubber parts; 2. Preventing the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block during cold weather parking; 3. Preventing the engine water temperature from becoming too high, ensuring the engine operates at the proper working temperature; 4. Reducing scale formation to avoid clogging the circulation pipes and affecting the cooling system's heat dissipation function; 5. Providing lubrication for the water pump thermostat and other components.
