Brake discs with grooves can be dealt with in the following ways: 1. Remove the brake pads and smooth them out with coarse sandpaper; 2. Remove the brake disc and take it to a lathe workshop to grind off the grooves; 3. Replace the brake disc. The brake disc is a crucial component in the braking system, categorized by structure into solid brake discs and ventilated discs. The steps to replace a brake disc 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. Reattach the brake caliper, tighten the caliper bolts to the required torque, and reinstall the tire; 5. Press the brake several times to eliminate the gap between the brake pads and the disc, allowing the brake piston to reset; 6. Check if the brake fluid pump is functioning properly.

Will Tire Pressure Drop on Its Own?

Tire pressure can drop on its own, which is why a tire pressure monitoring system is necessary to automatically and continuously monitor the tire pressure in real time, and to alert the driver in case of air leakage or low pressure, ensuring driving safety. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure include: If no visible damage is detected, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, promptly drive to a tire repair shop for a patch, then reinflate the tire; If the tire pressure warning persists after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim. Precautions for inflating tires: Always use a pressure gauge to check the pressure to avoid overinflation, which could lead to tire blowout. After stopping, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as driving increases tire temperature and affects pressure. Inspect the valve stem. If the valve stem and core are not properly aligned, or if there are protrusions, indentations, or other defects, it may hinder inflation and pressure measurement. Ensure cleanliness during inflation. The air pumped into the tire should not contain moisture or oil to prevent deterioration and damage to the inner tube rubber.

What to Pay Attention to When Selling a Scrapped Vehicle?

Key considerations when selling a scrapped vehicle include removing the license plates and using tools to erase the engine number and chassis number. Below is an introduction to relevant information about scrapped vehicles: 1. Vehicle Scrapping Process: After inspection confirms that the vehicle matches the license plate, documents, and records and meets scrapping conditions, the vehicle is sent to a designated location. The engine, cab, and other parts are processed for scrapping, and the supervising officer stamps the scrapping approval. The vehicle is then delivered to a nationally certified scrap car recycling company for dismantling. A technical inspection approval form is issued, and the scrapped vehicle's license plate and documents are collected. After verification, the vehicle's records are canceled, and a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" is issued to the owner. The canceled vehicle records are stored separately for two years. 2. Hazards of Scrapped Vehicles: Influenced by profit, many owners often sell scrapped vehicles to car dealers, who offer higher prices to attract sellers. As a result, scrapped vehicles re-enter the market and reappear on roads. Traffic police authorities state that scrapped vehicles are referred to as "road killers" and mobile time bombs, posing numerous safety hazards during operation. Private handling of scrapped vehicles is not permitted by the state.

What Causes Body Shaking After High-Speed Driving?

Vehicle shaking can be caused by throttle issues, fuel problems, or spark plug problems. Below are the specific reasons for vehicle shaking: Throttle Issues: The main cause of a dirty throttle is carbon buildup at the connection between the throttle valve plate shaft and the throttle body, leading to inaccurate throttle opening and resulting in idle shaking. The throttle can be cleaned. If shaking persists after cleaning, the throttle assembly may be damaged and require replacement. Fuel Problems: Poor-quality gasoline can result in poor fuel injector atomization, leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder and causing idle shaking. It is recommended to use high-grade gasoline to clean the fuel system after finishing the current tank. Spark Plug Problems: If the spark plug fails to ignite, causing one or more cylinders to stop working, this can also lead to idle shaking. Check for cracks in the ceramic part of the spark plug and ensure the ignition module is functioning properly.

Does stopping on the crosswalk at a red light count as running a red light?

Stopping a vehicle on the crosswalk does not count as running a red light. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating traffic signal instructions by crossing the stop line and continuing to move when the red light is on and prohibits passage. To determine a red-light violation, at least three pieces of photographic evidence are required: the vehicle has not left the stop line when the red light is on; the vehicle has passed through the intersection when the red light is on; the vehicle has crossed the line and continues to move forward when the red light is on. Article 26 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 44: Motor vehicles passing through intersections shall do so in accordance with traffic signals, traffic signs, traffic markings, or the direction of traffic police. Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations" stipulates that driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal instructions results in a deduction of 6 points. Ways to avoid running a red light: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just flashes, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as stopping might be impossible and you may cross the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.

Why does the Jetta fan keep running?

Jetta fan keeps running due to excessively high engine coolant temperature or a short circuit in the fan circuit. Here are the specific details about automotive cooling fans: 1. Automatic activation conditions: The radiator fan automatically activates when coolant temperature reaches 98°C. The car's radiator fan operates automatically without manual control, doesn't start at low temperatures, and has two speed gears for medium and high temperatures. 2. Medium/high fan speeds: Typically activates medium speed at 95°C and high speed at 105°C. When coolant reaches 95°C, the fan starts running at 1600 RPM, and when temperature reaches 105°C, the fan speed increases to approximately 2400 RPM to enhance cooling efficiency.
