The lifespan of an automotive generator is generally around 15 years. Below are some maintenance measures for automotive generators: 1. Pay attention to the wear of bearings: If insufficient lubrication is found, a few drops of oil can be added from the oil cup opening, but be careful not to let it seep into the commutator, as this could affect the electrical transmission efficiency. 2. If the brush contact surface is uneven, it can be smoothed with fine sandpaper: If the spring elasticity is insufficient or the brush is excessively worn, new parts must be replaced. If the brush is too short but not damaged, shims can be inserted into the bracket to ensure tight contact with the commutator. 3. The dust seal on the generator should be secure: It should not be removed, to prevent dust from entering the interior and causing mechanical failures.

What Causes the Engine to Be Noisy After Refueling?

Car engine becomes noisy after refueling due to the following reasons: 1. Oil issue: The engine oil has not fully lubricated all components of the engine. It takes some time for the new oil to evenly lubricate all parts of the engine. 2. Severe wear: It could also be due to severe wear, and if the engine internals are cleaned, the gaps from wear may become larger. If maintenance is neglected, it might be caused by excessive carbon buildup in the engine (such as excessive carbon in the engine, throttle, spark plugs, etc.), which can be resolved by cleaning at a repair shop. 3. Exhaust pipe leak: When there is a leak in the intake or exhaust pipe, the vehicle produces a louder roar as the exhaust rate increases with acceleration.

Will crossing the line during reverse parking result in point deduction?

Crossing the line during reverse parking results in a 100-point deduction. Other violations that also lead to a 100-point deduction include the vehicle body crossing the line, failing to enter the parking space, stopping midway, not following the designated route, incorrect sequence of driving, and exceeding the time limit. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria that include failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The rules for the Subject 2 driving test state that any of the following will result in failure: stopping midway, rolling back, not following voice instructions, or the wheels or vehicle body crossing the line. Many learners encounter the issue of crossing the line during Subject 2 training, and "crossing the line" is the most common reason for failing. The main cause of crossing the line is not mastering the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be the steering speed not matching the vehicle speed. Subject 2 point deduction standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: 100-point deduction. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: 100-point deduction. Not using the turn signal (including when starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking); using the turn signal for less than three seconds (note this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: 10-point deduction. Stalling once: 10-point deduction. Reverse parking: Not following the designated route sequence: 100-point deduction. Vehicle body crossing the line: 100-point deduction. Failing to park properly: 100-point deduction. Before reversing, if both front wheels do not pass the control line: 100-point deduction. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction each time. Slope parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm: 10-point deduction. After stopping, if starting takes more than 30 seconds: 100-point deduction. Wheels crossing the road edge line while driving: 100-point deduction. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not tightening the parking brake after stopping: 10-point deduction each time. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm but not exceeding 50 cm from the road edge line: 10-point deduction each time. Rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm when starting: 5-point deduction each time. Parallel parking: After parking, if the vehicle body crosses the line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when parking: 10-point deduction. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Touching the parking space edge line while driving: 10-point deduction each time. Wheels touching the lane edge line while driving: 10-point deduction each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction each time. 90-degree turn: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when turning, or not turning off the turn signal after turning: 10-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction each time. Curve driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 100-point deduction. Not driving in second gear or higher: 5-point deduction.

Why is the car navigation screen turning red?

There are several reasons why a car navigation screen may flicker or turn red: 1. Check components: Verify whether the power socket has electricity and is securely connected; check if the car cigarette lighter is functioning properly; inspect whether the car charger plug equipped with the navigation device is reliably connected. Examine if there is an issue with the LCD screen. The possibility of a display screen problem cannot be ruled out. 2. Check the wiring: Loose screen wiring, wiring issues, or motherboard module problems may require board replacement. Frequent travel on bumpy roads can cause the screen wiring to become loose. It is advisable to have a repair technician disassemble and inspect it as soon as possible, as prolonged delay may lead to screen damage. Seek manufacturer repair or replacement.

Is It Safe to Convert a Car to LPG?

Converting a car to LPG has the following differences: 1. Anti-knock performance: The octane number reaches 103-110, which is much higher than that of gasoline, helping to increase the gas compression ratio and improve the engine's power performance. The fuel enters the cylinder in a gaseous state, burns more completely, has high thermal efficiency, and produces less carbon deposits, extending the engine's overhaul period by 30-40% and the oil change interval by 50%, reducing maintenance costs and operating expenses. 2. Technical measures: Multiple effective technical measures and facilities have been adopted to ensure that the gas operates in a completely sealed system, making it safer than gasoline. For example, there have been no records of explosions in LPG vehicles since their introduction. 3. Regular inspections required: Vehicles converted to LPG still pose significant safety risks. In addition to regularly checking the sealing of the gas pipelines after conversion, the large gas storage tank placed in the trunk is also a major concern. In the event of a severe rear-end collision with intense impact, the consequences could be unimaginable.
