Solutions for wiper blade chattering include: 1. Replace with new wiper blades; 2. Lift the wiper arm, remove the blade, and use two wrenches for adjustment—one to secure the wiper arm and the other to fine-tune the angle until it fits snugly against the windshield. The wiper is a blade-like structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of components such as an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its primary function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the driver's view, thereby improving visibility and enhancing driving safety. It is recommended to replace wiper blades every one to two years.

I just bought a car not long ago, and the wiper skipping really worried me. I remember one time driving in the rain, the wiper was skipping so badly that I could hardly see through the windshield, almost causing an accident. Later, I went to the 4S store to ask, and the mechanic said it was either the wiper blade aging or not installed properly. I tried checking it myself: first, clean the windshield with professional cleaner to remove oil film; then check if the pressure of the wiper arm is even, sometimes the screws are loose and need tightening; also reminded me to replace the wiper blades regularly, usually once a year, otherwise the rubber aging can easily cause skipping. Now, I’ve developed a habit of wiping the windshield before driving, and the skipping problem has never appeared again, much safer now.

As an experienced driver who frequently takes long trips, wiper skipping can severely obstruct visibility and pose significant hazards. The key to solving this issue lies in identifying the root causes: it could be due to worn wiper blades, dirty windshield surfaces, or water stain residue. I usually handle it myself by cleaning the glass with neutral detergent and ensuring it's completely dry. Then, I check if the wiper arm is deformed and adjust the spring if necessary. Lubricating the joints also helps reduce friction. Regular maintenance is crucial—don't wait until it rains to think about it, otherwise replacing them will be troublesome and time-consuming.

What are the differences between OEM brake pads and aftermarket brake pads?

OEM brake pads and aftermarket brake pads mainly have the following differences: Material comparison: OEM products contain more ceramic and graphite than metal. Ceramic and graphite are more wear-resistant than metal, resulting in a longer service life. Aftermarket products clearly contain more metal than ceramic and graphite, with poorer wear resistance compared to OEM products, significantly shortening their service life. Thickness comparison: OEM products are strictly manufactured according to standards, with both thickness and materials meeting requirements. To save costs, aftermarket products reduce the thickness, greatly shortening their service life. Factory serial number: OEM products have a factory serial number printed on the surface, just like a person's ID card, ensuring quality. Aftermarket products lack a factory serial number, making their quality unverifiable.

What Causes a Diesel Engine to Not Exceed 2000 RPM and Experience Idling?

Diesel engine not exceeding 2000 RPM and experiencing idling can be caused by insufficient fuel pump pressure or exhaust issues. Details are as follows: Insufficient Fuel Pump Pressure: When the fuel pump pressure is inadequate, the fuel injection volume is insufficient, preventing the engine from increasing its RPM. Exhaust Issues: Poor exhaust flow reduces the efficiency of the engine's intake and exhaust system, hindering RPM increase. Causes of Idling: When the tangential force on the locomotive's driving wheels exceeds the adhesion force between the wheels and rails, adhesion is disrupted. This results in relative sliding between the wheels and rails at the contact point. Under the driving torque, the wheels rotate rapidly around the axle, leading to idling.

Can the wheel hub damage be claimed under vehicle damage insurance?

The insurance company will compensate for the damaged wheel hub. If the loss caused by a traffic accident includes damage to the tires and wheel hubs, the insurance company will provide compensation. Compensation for tire blowouts: The insurance company will not compensate for the loss of components such as rims and wheel hubs because tires are consumables and are not covered by the insurance policy. The car owner needs to pay for the repair or replacement of the tires themselves. However, for other losses caused by a tire blowout that leads to a traffic accident, as long as the car owner has purchased the corresponding car insurance, the insurance company must compensate. Avoiding insurance fraud: 58 Auto strongly advises against fabricating scenes to commit insurance fraud, as it harms the interests of the insurance company and can also leave a negative credit mark on oneself, making it difficult to obtain car insurance from any company in the future.
