Align the ignition marks on the crankshaft and camshaft; place the belt on the crankshaft pulley, then vertically hang it on the camshaft pulley from the opposite side of the tensioner; fold the belt to the side of the tensioner and firmly hold the tensioner. The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve system. By connecting to the crankshaft and matching a specific transmission ratio, it ensures the accuracy of intake and exhaust timing. Steps for belt replacement: lift the car with a jack; remove the engine undercover; after removing the undercover, inspect the generator belt; remove the exposed old generator belt; replace it with a new engine belt.

What does brake drum noise mean?

Brake drum noise refers to the abnormal sound generated by friction between the brake shoe and brake drum. When encountering this situation, simply disassemble the brake drum, remove the brake shoe, and clean any foreign objects between them to resolve the issue. If foreign materials are adhered to the brake shoe, use coarse sandpaper to grind them off until separated, then reinstall to solve the problem. If you notice that increased force is required for braking, immediately stop using the vehicle and visit an after-sales service or repair shop as soon as possible to replace the brake shoes. Continued use under such conditions may lead to dangerous situations. Generally, squealing from rear brakes is caused by water ingress, excessively smooth brake pads, or substandard brake pads. First remove the brake disc; if it appears too smooth, sand it with sandpaper or a flat file, and replace the brake pads if necessary.

Is a Flood-Damaged Car Worth Buying?

Not worth buying. Reasons are as follows: 1. Parts are damaged: After being submerged in water and exposed to prolonged sunlight, a flood-damaged car may appear fine on the surface, but its internal components could be severely damaged or even malfunction. Additionally, water entering the engine can cause irreparable damage, which is costly to repair. 2. Incomplete repairs: Flood-damaged cars often enter the market without thorough repairs, posing significant safety hazards. When consulting used car dealers, they may downplay or even conceal these issues, sometimes outright deceiving consumers. 3. Musty odor in seats: Furthermore, after being soaked in water, the car's seats—whether leather or fabric—are difficult to clean thoroughly. Even after sun-drying, a persistent musty smell lingers in the car, which can negatively affect the owner's health.
