The normal replacement interval for brake fluid is every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. It should be replaced promptly according to the cycle to ensure driving safety. The relevant information about brake fluid is as follows: Characteristics of Brake Fluid: Automotive brake fluid has a very low freezing point, ensuring good fluidity in low-temperature conditions. It also has an extremely high boiling point, preventing vapor lock in high-temperature states. Function of Brake Fluid: Brake fluid is the liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in hydraulic braking systems, used in vehicles equipped with hydraulic braking systems. In a sealed container or a liquid-filled pipeline, when the liquid is under pressure, it quickly and evenly transmits the pressure to all parts of the liquid.

What are the causes of idle body vibration?

There are 4 main causes of car body vibration during idle. The following are the explanations: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits. The most common cause of car vibration is dirty throttle valves or excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors. When there's too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector gets largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making ignition difficult. In this situation, the engine only starts easily after the carbon deposits become saturated with gasoline. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits gets sucked into the cylinders by the engine's vacuum for combustion, making the mixture too rich. This alternating lean-rich condition of the combustible mixture causes idle vibration after cold starts. 2. Ignition system issues. Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor ignition system performance or weak spark plug firing can also cause such faults. The solution is to check if spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. 3. Unstable fuel pressure. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or faulty readings from the intake pressure sensor can cause body vibration. The solution is to check fuel pressure and replace components when necessary. 4. Aging engine components. Car vibration can also be related to worn engine mounts. Engine mounts actually serve as the engine's shock absorption system, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If engine mounts fail, these vibrations get transmitted to the steering wheel and cabin, causing vibration during idle.

What is the name of the shield above the wheels?

Automobile The shield above the car tire is called the inner fender liner or wheel well liner. It serves to block mud and dust and is installed behind all four tires of the car. The front two tire mud flaps are located on the left and right lower sills, while the rear two mud flaps are positioned on the rear bumper. Below is additional information about mud flaps: 1. Mud flaps protrude 5cm beyond the body, effectively preventing sand or particles splashed during driving from damaging the car's paint. 2. They reduce the car's ground clearance, affecting its off-road capability. The entire mud guard consists of two parts: the outer protruding section is the wheel arch, typically black in color, and the inner layer is the liner panel. The mud flap is composed of the wheel arch and the liner panel. This design enhances aesthetics, reduces the drag coefficient, and ensures smoother driving.
