How many kilometers should the brake pads of Trumpchi GS4 be replaced?

The replacement cycle for the front brake pads of the Trumpchi GS4 is 30,000 kilometers, and the rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. More details are as follows: The Trumpchi GS4 uses original Volkswagen brake pads. The replacement time for brake pads varies from person to person. If you frequently drive in congested road conditions or often brake suddenly, the brake pads will wear out faster. The thickness of a new brake pad is generally around 1.5cm, and it gradually thins with continuous friction during use. Professional technicians recommend that when the thickness of the brake pad is only about 1/3 of the original thickness (approximately 0.5cm) as observed by the naked eye, the owner should increase the frequency of self-inspection and be ready to replace them at any time. Of course, due to the wheel design of some models, it is not possible to visually inspect the brake pads, and the tires need to be removed to complete the inspection.

I've been driving the GAC GS4 for several years, and brake pad replacement isn't based on a fixed mileage—it depends on personal driving habits and road conditions. Generally speaking, if you frequently brake while driving in the city, the pads might wear out significantly by 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers and need replacement. If you do more highway driving, you might stretch it to around 70,000 kilometers. I recommend checking them every 50,000 kilometers. You can use a flashlight to check the thickness of the brake discs; if they're below 3 millimeters, it's time to replace them. If you're not confident doing it yourself, have a mechanic check during regular maintenance—don't wait until you hear squeaking or notice weak braking performance. Safety should always come first. Last time I replaced mine, it cost over 400 yuan, but choosing a durable brand can extend their lifespan. Remember, the braking system affects overall safety, and proper maintenance can help avoid costly repairs.

What are the functions of a crankshaft?

The function of the crankshaft is to convert the thrust transmitted from the piston connecting rod into rotational torque, transforming the reciprocating linear motion of the piston into the circular rotational motion of the crankshaft. It then delivers the engine torque to the transmission system via the flywheel, while also driving the engine's valve train and other auxiliary devices. Here is additional information: 1. Composition of the crankshaft: The crankshaft mainly consists of the front end shaft, main journal, connecting rod journal, crank, counterweight, and rear end flange. It possesses sufficient rigidity and strength, as well as good ability to withstand impact loads. 2. Working principle of the crankshaft: The crankshaft is the most critical component in an engine. During engine operation, the piston is driven by the combustion of the compressed air-fuel mixture to perform linear motion, and the force is transmitted to the crankshaft via the connecting rod. The crankshaft then converts this linear motion into rotational motion. The rotation of the crankshaft serves as the power source of the engine and the driving force for the entire mechanical system.

What are the precautions for safe driving in rainy weather?

Safe driving in rainy weather requires maintaining good visibility, preventing tire side-slip, driving slowly, reducing fog generation, mastering water wading techniques, paying attention to following distance, observing pedestrians, and turning on lights promptly. Here is more relevant information: 1. Water wading techniques: Exercise caution when driving on roads with standing water, generally proceeding straight at low speed without stopping arbitrarily. If the water level exceeds the exhaust pipe, detour is necessary. 2. Observing pedestrians: Pedestrians' visibility is also inevitably affected in rainy weather. When driving, special attention must be paid to observing pedestrians to avoid traffic accidents. Do not compete with pedestrians for right of way, yield appropriately, observe pedestrian movements to prevent last-minute panic slips. If avoiding is inconvenient, stop and wait. Pay attention to standing water, pass slowly without splashing water on pedestrians.

How are subsidies for new energy vehicles provided?

New energy vehicle subsidy collection: Both national and local subsidies are advanced by dealers, who then submit the relevant documents of car buyers to government departments for approval and reimbursement. Therefore, consumers only need to pay the price after deducting the dual subsidies when purchasing new energy electric vehicles. After completing the tax payment certificate, the car owner needs to take photos of the four documents—original invoice, vehicle license, motor vehicle registration certificate, and tax payment certificate—and send them to the 4S store. There are three forms for private purchase and use of new energy vehicles: 1. Direct purchase: The central government provides subsidies to automobile manufacturers, who then sell new energy vehicles to private users at the price after deducting the subsidies. 2. Whole vehicle leasing: The central government provides subsidies to automobile manufacturers, who then sell new energy vehicles to leasing companies at the price after deducting the subsidies. 3. Battery leasing: The central government provides subsidies to battery leasing companies, which then lease new energy vehicle batteries to private users at the price after deducting the subsidies, while also providing services such as battery maintenance, repair, and replacement.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise During Cold Start?

The abnormal noise during cold start is caused by: the lack of lubrication in the starter's internal gears, which affects their timely retraction. Here are more related details: 1. Causes: When starting the engine, the starter rotates to drive the flywheel, thereby starting the engine. At this point, the engine's speed is driven by the starter, so the engine speed is lower than that of the starter. Once the engine starts and its speed exceeds the starter's speed, the operator manually turns off the ignition switch to cut the power, shutting down the starter. Due to dirt buildup inside the starter and the failure of lubricating oil, the engine forces the starter to rotate at its own speed. Since there is a speed difference between the two, this results in the starter producing noise. 2. Solutions to Eliminate the Noise: The noise will only stop once the starter reaches the same temperature as the engine. However, in severe cases, the noise occurs every time the engine is started. To remove this noise, cleaning and maintaining the starter or replacing it entirely will suffice.

How Many Months Old is Considered a Stock Car?

Vehicles that remain unsold in the main warehouse for over a year are considered stock cars. There is no specific time point or definition for stock cars, as it normally takes a certain amount of time for a car to go through production, off the assembly line, to the general distributor, main warehouse, and then to the dealership. Below is additional information: 1. Maintenance of stock cars: The correct practice for dealers is to periodically charge the battery and perform maintenance on vehicles that have been in the main warehouse for over 6 months without being sold, start the engine to circulate the fluids, and move the vehicle to prevent tire aging. 2. Identifying stock cars: Identifying a stock car is a very simple matter. Compare the manufacturing date on the vehicle's nameplate with the manufacturing date on the certificate of conformity—the two must match. Additionally, check if the VIN code and engine number on the certificate of conformity match those on the original vehicle.

What does UDS mean?

UDS protocol is a unified diagnostic service, serving as a standard reference protocol for diagnostic services. For example, what commands should be sent to the ECU to read fault codes, and what commands to read data streams. It is a set of diagnostic protocols used to analyze current issues in vehicles, and this protocol is widely used in automotive electronics. Related introductions are as follows: 1. Diagnostic service: OBD is an industry standard formed from the concept of focusing on real-time emissions in vehicle after-sales, while UDS is a unified standard for diagnostic services. UDS provides a basic framework for diagnostic services, allowing automakers and component suppliers to choose to implement part of it or customize some private diagnostic services based on actual conditions. 2. Enhanced diagnostics: Diagnostics based on the UDS protocol are often referred to as enhanced diagnostics. UDS is not a regulatory requirement and does not have a unified implementation standard. Its advantage lies in facilitating the development of production line testing equipment, while also greatly aiding the realization of after-sales maintenance and telematics functions.
