Clean the rust and impurities from the piston and inside the piston cylinder. Once these areas are thoroughly cleaned, the brake caliper should function normally. If the brake caliper is not operating properly, you can remove the guide pin from the vehicle, then polish and clean it. If the car owner is unsure where the problem lies, they can also opt to spend money to replace the brake caliper with a new one.

Which Takes Precedence for Car Maintenance: Mileage or Time?

Car maintenance is generally based on mileage. Below are relevant details regarding car maintenance: 1. Oil Quality: Full synthetic oil requires maintenance at around 10,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic oil requires maintenance at around 5,000 kilometers. 2. Vehicle Usage Frequency: If the car is only used for commuting in the city, the maintenance interval can be extended by 1,000-2,000 kilometers as long as the oil is genuine. If the vehicle is used more frequently, covering tens of thousands of kilometers a year, the maintenance interval can be shortened by 1,000-2,000 kilometers. 3. Oil Shelf Life: If the car is used very infrequently, covering only a few thousand kilometers a year, the oil may degrade after being opened. In such cases, it is recommended to change the oil every six months.

Can a Used Motorcycle Be Licensed?

Used motorcycles with complete documentation can be licensed. Verification: After purchasing the vehicle, bring the invoice issued by the dealer to the Motor Vehicle Market Management Office under the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce to complete the verification process and have the verification stamp affixed. For imported vehicles, additional documents such as the Customs Import Certificate or Confiscation Certificate, Commodity Inspection Certificate, and related license application procedures provided by the dealer must also be submitted. Obtaining a Movement Permit: If the owner can ensure that the licensing procedures are completed within seven days of purchasing the new vehicle, then a vehicle movement permit is not required. If the vehicle remains unlicensed for more than seven days, the owner must apply for a vehicle movement permit at the local traffic police department. Vehicle Inspection: Just like a new employee undergoing a medical check-up before employment, a new vehicle must pass an inspection before receiving its license. After passing the inspection, the on-site police officer will complete and sign the Motor Vehicle Registration Form. Required documents for the inspection include the owner's ID card, import documents (if applicable), and the inspection approval form issued by the Vehicle Management Office.

Promptly purchase and replace the smart key battery to resolve the issue. If the problem persists, it is recommended to have the smart key inspected. 2. Remote keys generally do not suddenly lose power; there are usually signs when the battery is running low, such as a shortened remote range where you need to be closer for it to respond.
