New car brake discs should be replaced approximately every 70,000 kilometers. The steps for replacing brake discs are: 1. Lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Unscrew the brake caliper bolts, open the brake caliper, and remove the old brake pads; 3. Push the brake piston back in and install the new brake pads; 4. Reinstall the brake caliper, tighten the caliper bolts to the required torque, and reinstall the tire; 5. Press the brake pedal several times to eliminate the gap between the brake pads and the brake disc, allowing the brake piston to reset; 6. Check if the brake fluid pump is functioning properly. Automobile brake discs can be categorized by structure into solid brake discs and ventilated discs, and by material into carbon fiber ceramic brake discs and metal brake discs.

What is the difference between having a 't' and not having a 't'?

The difference between having a 't' and not having a 't' lies in the engine type and power output. Different engines: Cars with a 't' are equipped with turbocharged or supercharged engines; cars without a 't' are equipped with naturally aspirated engines. Different power outputs: With the same displacement, cars with a 't' have stronger power output than those without a 't'. However, maintenance and repair costs for cars with a 't' are much higher than those without a 't'. For long-distance driving, cars with a 't' are more fuel-efficient because the turbocharger kicks in, allowing for more complete fuel combustion. In urban driving, cars without a 't' are more fuel-efficient because it's difficult for vehicles to reach speeds where the turbocharger can engage in city traffic.

Steering Wheel Vibration at Speeds Above 80 km/h

This situation occurs due to poor gasoline combustion and excessive dirt on the throttle body, which causes engine vibration that is transmitted to the steering wheel. Solution: Visit a repair shop to check if the throttle body is excessively dirty. If necessary, clean and inspect the bottom-related automotive components. Perform wheel dynamic balancing again. The only solution when the steering wheel vibrates slightly when braking at speeds above 80 km/h: Perform wheel dynamic balancing again. The dynamic balance of wheels and tires is extremely delicate yet crucial. If any issues are detected, the following checks must be performed: First, inspect the balance weights on the wheels. If the balance weights are missing or have fallen off, it will mostly cause steering wheel vibration. After installing new balance weights, ensure that both longitudinal and lateral vibration amplitudes are less than 0.3 mm. Additionally, since the front wheels are steering wheels, the requirements for wheel dynamic balance are extremely stringent.

Can Reducing the Size of Fuel Injectors Save Fuel?

Reducing the size of fuel injectors can save fuel. Fuel Injectors: Fuel injectors spray fuel into the engine cylinders, atomizing it for combustion. The combustion efficiency of the engine depends on the degree of fuel atomization, which in turn is determined by the number of holes in the fuel injectors. Better atomization leads to improved power, more aggressive acceleration, more stable engine operation, reduced vibrations and noise, smoother gear shifting, more consistent acceleration, and better throttle response. Symptoms of Clogged Fuel Injectors: Engine vibrations, unstable idle, lack of power, weakened performance (e.g., unresponsive throttle, uneven acceleration), increased engine noise, and a slight misfire feeling when upshifting at low RPMs. Common causes of clogged fuel injectors include carbon deposits in the engine accumulating on the injectors or impurities in the gasoline blocking the injector pathways. Gasoline naturally contains gums and impurities.

What Causes a Truck Engine to Lack Power?

Engine power loss may be caused by issues in the fuel system, intake system, or electrical system. Fuel System: This feeling of powerlessness in the vehicle is primarily due to the engine suddenly not receiving sufficient fuel. Insufficient fuel entering the combustion chamber could result from clogged fuel injectors, fuel line leaks, reduced fuel pump performance, or a blocked fuel filter. Intake System: Common intake problems often occur in components like the air filter or throttle system blockages. Malfunctions in these small parts can lead to inadequate air intake. Electrical System: The electrical system mainly refers to the power supply for the ignition system. The electrical system generates high-voltage electricity, which is supplied to the spark plugs via wires, and the spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Therefore, issues with wires or spark plugs are most likely to cause insufficient power.

Does modifying the central control screen of a new car affect license plate registration?

Modifying the central control screen of a new car will prevent license plate registration. No modifications are allowed before license plate registration: After modifying a new car, it cannot be registered for a license plate because the "Vehicle Registration Regulations" stipulate that new cars cannot be modified before license plate registration. Modifications alter the vehicle's appearance or performance, making it inconsistent with the original vehicle's data, thus preventing license plate registration. Requirements for car modifications: If you want to modify a new car, you must wait until the car has been registered and the license plate has been installed. Car modifications must also comply with the "Vehicle Registration Regulations"; otherwise, the modifications will be considered illegal. It is worth noting that if you want to modify the car's interior, you can do so freely as long as it does not affect safe driving.

Can a vehicle undergo annual inspection in another location, and what procedures are required?

Vehicles can undergo annual inspection in another location, but a Notice of Entrusted Inspection must be obtained from the vehicle registration office at the place of registration (no entrustment letter is required for inspections within the same province). To apply for the Vehicle Annual Inspection Entrustment Notice: Bring the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle license, vehicle insurance documents, original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax receipt, and an application for out-of-province annual inspection to the vehicle management office at the place of registration (this can also be handled by an authorized representative). For cross-province annual inspections: An entrustment inspection procedure must be completed at the vehicle registration office before the inspection can be conducted in another location. The process requires the vehicle owner to submit an application to the original registration office before the annual inspection can proceed, and this application must be submitted annually to the original vehicle registration office.
