To replace the door check on a Camry, it is necessary to visit a repair shop. Below are the reasons for abnormal noises in the Toyota Camry door check: 1. Issues with design and manufacturing processes causing abnormal noises in the door check: Severe misalignment between the door hinge axis and the door check rotation axis, leading to noise between the check arm surface and the roller bracket side. The usual solution is to ensure the angle between the door hinge axis and the door check rotation axis is controlled to ≤3°, and to monitor the door hinges. 2. Wear due to improper assembly during use or door sagging: These issues are relatively simple to troubleshoot. Loosen all the installation screws of the door check, open and close the door more than five times, then tighten the screws. This generally resolves most abnormal noises. 3. Ensure the friction parts of the door check are lubricated: Misalignment between the door hinge axis and the door check rotation axis can also be adjusted, but this requires higher technical skills and is typically resolved based on experience. Therefore, it is best to ensure proper alignment during the design and manufacturing process and to use positioning aids during installation. 4. When door hinge deformation causes door sagging: The door check is also prone to deformation, leading to functional failure and even severe noise. The gear sensation may not be very clear.

At What Water Level Will the Engine Take in Water?

There is a risk of engine water intake when the water level exceeds 20 centimeters. For ordinary sedans, when the water level reaches 20 centimeters (for SUVs with higher ground clearance, this threshold increases to 30 centimeters), the engine may take in water. Water can enter the engine through two main pathways: 1. Low air intake position: The engine's air intake inlet is positioned low, allowing water to be sucked into the engine when the vehicle drives through water. 2. Exhaust outlet below water level: If the exhaust pipe outlet is submerged below the water level, water can be drawn into the engine through the exhaust. Below is relevant information: 1. If water enters the engine, it will inevitably stall: Since water in the cylinders lacks lubricating properties, attempting to restart the engine blindly after stalling may cause severe damage (e.g., cylinder scoring) and total engine failure. The correct procedure is to push the vehicle to a higher, dry area, contact your insurance company, and have the car towed to a repair shop for inspection. 2. Check all vehicle fluid systems: After water exposure, fluids may foam or become contaminated, losing their lubricating properties. Additionally, water may carry sand particles, accelerating engine wear. Prompt cleaning and fluid replacement are necessary. After inspection, clean electrical connections in the engine bay to prevent corrosion and sand residue. Key areas to clean include the fuse box, sensor connectors, and areas where water may accumulate. Once these steps are completed, conduct a road test at low to medium speeds, listening carefully for abnormal engine noises. If unusual noises are detected, inspect engine bearings and rotating components for excessive wear to prevent further damage.

Are Transmission Fluid and Gear Oil the Same?

Gear oil and transmission fluid are essentially the same, but due to different application systems, although their oil properties are quite similar, they are used in different locations, hence the difference in naming. Gear oil is typically used in gear transmission mechanisms such as automobile steering gears, transmissions, and drive axles. It differs from engine oil in terms of usage conditions, composition, and performance characteristics. Below are some relevant details about the two: 1. Due to the high surface pressure during gear transmission, gear oil plays a crucial role in lubricating gears, resisting wear, cooling, heat dissipation, preventing corrosion and rust, cleaning, and reducing gear surface impact and noise. 2. Transmission fluid is an oil product used to keep a vehicle's transmission clean, ensuring its normal operation and extending the lifespan of the transmission system. It provides effective lubrication even at low temperatures and reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Depending on the transmission structure, transmission fluid is further divided into automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid.

What to Do When Car Window Glass Makes Noise on Bumpy Roads?

Here are some solutions for addressing the issue of car window glass making noise when driving on bumpy roads: 1. Loose door screws or lifting bracket. To fix this issue, simply take the car to a 4S shop and have the staff tighten the loose door glass. When driving on bumpy roads, the car window glass may make noise, which is often caused by loose internal fastening screws or a detached lifting bracket. 2. Aging window glass sealing rubber strip, best to replace it directly. Aging door glass rubber strips are often one of the reasons for window noise. If the noise occurs in a new car, there's no need to replace the rubber strip immediately. Instead, purchase a lubricant online, apply it evenly on the rubber strip, and then try raising and lowering the window several times to see if the noise reduces. 3. Debris in the window glass guide rail. The solution is to use tools to clean out the debris in the guide rail.
