To handle small stones getting into the brake disc, you can accelerate, then brake hard, reverse and brake hard again, repeating this cycle several times. Below are the hazards of stones getting into the brake disc: 1. Increased noise: If small stones get into the brake disc, there will be significant noise while driving, which can be distracting for the driver and, in severe cases, affect their judgment of road conditions. 2. Impact on tire performance: The grooves on tires are designed for water drainage. When filled with small stones, the drainage effect is weakened. Driving on wet and slippery roads in rainy conditions may lead to skidding, compromising vehicle safety. 3. Risk of air leakage or tire blowout: If hard and sharp stones or metal fragments get stuck in the brake disc, they can puncture the outer rubber layer of the tire during high-speed driving, potentially causing a blowout.

What Causes a Car to Stall at Idle Speed?

There are many reasons why a car may stall at idle speed, such as leaks in the intake system, low fuel pressure, clogged air filters, fuel injector atomization leaks, improper idle adjustment, faulty spark plugs, or malfunctioning air flow meters. Unstable idle speed leading to stalling is one of the more common issues in older cars, with symptoms including fluctuating RPMs and idle speed dropping low enough to cause stalling. The root of the problem can often be traced to aspects related to idle speed control. The car's idle speed is primarily controlled by a small throttle opening or a bypass air passage. When the engine is idling, the throttle is either fully closed or only slightly open. Under stable idle conditions, the engine's idle speed is managed through closed-loop control.

What are the techniques for gear shifting in the Subject 3 driving test?

Subject 3 driving test gear shifting techniques are as follows: 1. Gear shifting: This is the substantive step in the entire gear shifting process. After the RPM synchronization, the two gears will smoothly engage, so this step will not produce any impact. 2. Press the clutch and release the accelerator: The reason for the imbalance is the incorrect sequence of pressing the clutch and releasing the accelerator. If you release the accelerator before pressing the clutch, since the engine stops supplying fuel while the clutch is not disengaged, a "reverse drag" or engine braking phenomenon may occur, which will produce a "jerk" impact feeling. 3. Release the clutch and press the accelerator: This is the stage most likely to produce impact, and the control of releasing the clutch is very critical.

What Causes Engine Vibration When Turning on the Air Conditioning?

Reasons for engine vibration when turning on the air conditioning: 1. The air conditioning compressor malfunctions, causing excessive pressure during operation, which leads to vibration issues and subsequently affects the engine, causing resonance vibration. It is necessary to have it inspected and repaired at a repair shop or 4S store; 2. The throttle valve is clogged, affecting the engine's air intake function, leading to poor ventilation and abnormal engine vibration. The throttle valve needs to be inspected and cleaned; 3. Severe engine carbon buildup is the main cause of vibration. If carbon deposits are not effectively cleaned, they will affect normal fuel combustion, resulting in abnormal engine vibration. Timely cleaning of engine carbon deposits is required.

What does parking system failure mean?

Parking system failure is caused by sensor issues that prevent the automatic braking function from being realized. The parking system refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a red light, it is equivalent to not needing to pull the handbrake, which can simplify operations by avoiding the use of a handbrake or electronic handbrake. Automatic transmission models also do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P. The automatic parking system is a technical application that can achieve an automatic handbrake during vehicle operation. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stopped. With the automatic electronic parking brake activated, it can prevent unnecessary sliding of the vehicle. The realization of the automatic parking system function is not simply achieved by using an electronic handbrake.

Is there a big difference between Audi 40 and 45?

Audi 40 and 45 are not much different. The differences between Audi 40 and 45 are as follows: Power: The maximum power of the 40 model is 140kw, with a maximum torque of 320 Nm, while the 45 engine has a maximum power of 185kw and a maximum torque of 370 Nm. This engine is also equipped with AVS technology and hybrid injection technology, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head. Engine: The 40 is a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, while the 45 is a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Both engines are essentially 2.0-liter turbocharged engines, with the only differences being in maximum power and maximum torque.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Enclave?

The official average fuel consumption of the Enclave is 10.3L per 100km, while the actual fuel consumption is around 10.8L per 100km. The specific fuel consumption depends on factors such as the vehicle condition. Driving Habits: Driving habits refer to both driving behavior and vehicle maintenance habits. Proper driving habits can reduce fuel consumption during driving. However, without good maintenance habits, the engine is prone to carbon buildup, leading to increased fuel consumption. Road Conditions: Except for some models with engine start-stop systems, most vehicles have extremely high instantaneous fuel consumption when idling. Congested road conditions often involve frequent idling and starting, so avoiding congested routes is the most direct yet challenging way to save fuel.
