Brake pads should be replaced approximately every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. Situations that require brake pad replacement include: 1. When the brake pad thickness is only one-third of its original size; 2. When there is abnormal noise while lightly applying the brakes; 3. When the brake response is delayed, and the braking force weakens. The method for replacing car brake pads is as follows: 1. Lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Unscrew the fixing screws on the brake caliper and remove the brake caliper; 3. Remove the old brake pads and push back the brake caliper piston; 4. Clean the installation bracket of the brake disc and install the new brake pads. Car brake pads, also known as car brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel.

What are the main components of a car's structure?

A car is typically composed of four major parts: the engine, chassis, body, and electrical equipment. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine: It includes the crank-connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, ignition system, lubrication system, cooling system, and starting system. 2. Chassis: This consists of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. The transmission system transfers the engine's power to the driving wheels and is composed of assemblies such as the clutch, gearbox, universal transmission device, and main reducer. The running gear includes the frame, steering axle, drive axle, suspension, and wheels. The steering system is made up of the steering gear and steering mechanism. The braking system generally consists of two independent devices: the service brake system and the parking brake system. 3. Body and Electrical Equipment: The body is used to accommodate the driver, passengers, and cargo.

How to Use the Engine Start-Stop Function in Audi A4L?

Locate the start-stop system button to deactivate the function. Below is a detailed introduction to the engine start-stop feature: 1. Overview of Engine Start-Stop: The engine automatic start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. This is achieved by integrating an enhanced motor with idle start-stop capability into the traditional engine, allowing the engine to completely shut down when idle stop conditions are met. 2. Operational Requirements: The start-stop system must not compromise the normal operation of other vehicle systems. For instance, the engine will not shut off (or will restart immediately if already off) under conditions such as when the battery charge is below the threshold, the air conditioning system is in defogging mode, brake system pressure drops below a certain level, or the vehicle experiences unintended rolling forward or backward.

Is a Repaired Accident Vehicle Still Safe?

How many years can a repaired accident vehicle last? Most repaired accident vehicles perform similarly to their original condition, thus posing no safety hazards. Most vehicles are designed with a lifespan exceeding 20 years. For instance, a new car involved in a collision, once repaired, can still run for 15 years or more. However, for severely damaged accident vehicles, even after major repairs, their lifespan may still be significantly compromised. The compensation standards for vehicles totaled in accidents are as follows: 1. First category: When the repair costs exceed 80% or more of the vehicle's value, the insurance company will settle the claim as a total loss. 2. Second category: The vehicle meets the mandatory scrapping criteria. According to Article 4 of the 'Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles,' registered motor vehicles under the following circumstances shall be mandatorily scrapped: First scenario: After repair and adjustment, the vehicle still fails to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles. Second scenario: After repair and adjustment or the application of control technologies, the vehicle's emissions of pollutants or noise still fail to meet national standards for in-use vehicles.
