The replacement cycle for the timing belt of the Buick Excelle is 10 years or 150,000 kilometers. The specific replacement cycle should be determined based on the wear condition of the timing belt. The following introduces the method to check the tension of the timing belt: 1. To check the tension of the belt, you can press the belt between the two pulley bases firmly with your thumb. 2. Apply a pressure of approximately 10kg. If the belt is depressed by about 10mm, the belt tension is considered just right. 3. If the depression is too large, the belt tension is insufficient; if the belt hardly shows any depression, the belt tension is too high.

What Causes the Burning and Noise of the Release Bearing?

Release bearing burning and noise reasons: Burning caused by excessively high working temperatures, commonly seen when drivers habitually use the half-clutch technique, keeping the clutch in a semi-engaged and semi-disengaged state. This causes dry friction heat from the clutch to transfer to the release bearing, leading to the thinning and loss of lubricating grease until the temperature reaches a certain level, resulting in burning damage. The clutch release bearing is installed between the clutch and the transmission. The release bearing housing is loosely fitted on the tubular extension of the transmission's first shaft bearing cover. A return spring ensures that the shoulder of the release bearing always presses against the release fork and retracts to the rearmost position, maintaining a gap of approximately 3 to 4mm with the end of the release lever.

What does the tire specification 195/55r15 mean?

The tire specification 195/55r15 indicates that the tire has a width of 195 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55, 'R' stands for radial tire, and '15' represents the rim diameter, meaning this tire model is suitable for 15-inch rims. Radial tires are commonly used in standard passenger vehicles. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, designed to roll on the ground. They operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during operation. Therefore, tires must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties. Additionally, they are required to have excellent wear resistance, flexibility, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.
