Is it a big deal if a small car's tire sidewall is slightly scraped?

If a small car's tire sidewall is slightly scraped without damaging the cord fabric, the impact on the car is minimal. It can still be used for short-distance driving in urban areas. However, it is not recommended for highway or long-distance driving as friction-generated heat can cause the tire temperature to rise sharply, leading to increased tire pressure. When the tire sidewall cannot withstand excessive pressure, it is prone to a blowout. Regularly check tire conditions: Frequently inspect tires for bulges, cracks, cuts, punctures, valve rubber aging, and abnormal tire wear. Address any abnormalities promptly. Regularly perform wheel alignment: For vehicles driven under normal road conditions, wheel alignment and tire rotation can be done every 10,000 kilometers. Errors in wheel alignment angles and prolonged lack of tire rotation can easily cause steering deviation and abnormal tread wear.

What Causes the Sound of Water Sloshing Inside the Car?

The reasons for the sound of water sloshing inside the car: 1. The sound of circulating water from the water pump, which is normal; 2. The drainage holes at the bottom of the door are blocked by mud or sand, causing rainwater to accumulate inside the door. When braking or driving on uneven roads, the door will produce a water sloshing sound; 3. A clogged air conditioning drain hole can cause water to accumulate in the evaporator box, resulting in a water sloshing sound while driving. When water enters the door and remains trapped in a sealed space for a long time without evaporating, it will create a sloshing sound. Car owners should promptly check the drainage holes inside the door to prevent blockages.

What is the procedure for replacing spark plugs?

Procedure for replacing spark plugs: 1. Open the engine hood; 2. Clean the oil and dust near the high-voltage wire terminals, then loosen the screws with a wrench; 3. Remove the terminals and gently twist out the spark plugs; 4. Install new spark plugs; 5. Align the interface and quickly insert them, ensuring no dust or impurities enter, then reinstall the terminals. Spark plugs, commonly known as sparkers, function by discharging the pulsed high-voltage electricity sent from the high-voltage wires, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the mixed gas in the cylinder. The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, insulator-protruding spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-jump spark plugs.
