It is better to go to a 4S shop. The quality of tires at outside auto repair shops varies greatly. If you want to replace them outside, you must go to a professional tire brand store. However, these concerns are generally unnecessary when changing tires at a 4S shop, as they provide warranties for the replaced parts. 4S shops usually offer one-stop services, and the service level for tire replacement is generally higher than outside shops. Below is some relevant information about tire replacement: 1. After tire disassembly and installation, a balancing machine must be used to test the balance of the tire and wheel hub during movement to ensure smooth driving. 2. When replacing tires, the valve stem should also be replaced. The valve stem is a rubber component that gradually deteriorates over time and under environmental influences, posing potential safety hazards. 3. Regularly check tire pressure, as both underinflation and overinflation can lead to the risk of tire blowouts. 4. After tire replacement, a four-wheel alignment should be performed to ensure the car maintains stable straight-line driving and easy steering while minimizing tire wear.

How to Deal with Rusty Car Brake Discs?

Here are the methods to remove rust from car brake discs: 1. If the rust is not severe, you can step on the brakes a few times on a safe road section without affecting public traffic. 2. If the rust is severe, it is recommended to go to an auto repair shop to remove it with sandpaper. Extension: The methods to determine whether the brake discs need to be replaced are as follows: 1. The brake pads and brake discs wear relatively. After replacing the brake pads 2 to 3 times, pay attention to checking the brake discs. 2. If you hear a rustling sound when braking, you need to check whether the brake discs need to be replaced. 3. If there are grooves or small pits on the brake discs, and the measured depth reaches about 1.5mm, you need to go to a repair shop or 4S shop to check the brake discs.

Is Wheel Alignment Necessary When Rotating Tires?

Wheel alignment is not required when rotating tires. The purpose of rotating tires is to ensure more even tire wear. Wheel alignment is necessary under the following circumstances: 1. Damage to the chassis and suspension due to an accident; 2. Replacement of the steering system or its components; 3. Uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires; 4. Replacement or adjustment of the suspension system; 5. The vehicle pulls to the left or right when driving straight. The functions of tires include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing excessive vibration and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Enhancing high-speed performance, reducing driving noise, and ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What is the method for changing engine oil without a lift?

The method for changing engine oil without a lift is to find a pit, drive the car over it, and then go down into the pit to change the oil. The steps for changing the oil are: 1. Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain screw; 2. Unscrew the oil drain screw, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, after draining the oil, tighten the oil drain screw and wipe it with a tissue to check for oil leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate and lower the car, then use a funnel to add oil at the oil filler port. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Lubricating the engine to reduce wear; 2. Cleaning and purifying; 3. Cooling and lowering temperature; 4. Preventing rust and corrosion.

What type of suspension does the Bestune T77 Pro use?

The Bestune T77 Pro uses the following suspension setup: the front suspension employs a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension utilizes a torsion beam suspension. The functions of the suspension are: to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, and to cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, reducing the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Taking the 2020 manual luxury model of the Bestune T77 Pro as an example, its body structure is a five-door, five-seat SUV with the following dimensions: length 4525mm, width 1845mm, height 1615mm, wheelbase 2700mm, front track 1575mm, rear track 1565mm, fuel tank capacity 45 liters, trunk capacity 342 liters, and curb weight 1468kg.

Does the Audi A4L need undercoating?

Audi A4L needs undercoating. Undercoating is a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating that is non-toxic, has high coverage, and strong adhesion. It can be sprayed on exposed parts of the vehicle such as the chassis, wheel hubs, fuel tank, lower body panels, and trunk. After quick drying, it forms a solid elastic protective layer that prevents impacts from flying stones and gravel, avoids erosion from moisture, acid rain, and salt on the vehicle's chassis, prevents rusting of the chassis, and ensures the driving safety of the owner. Taking the 2020 Audi A4L as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category, with body dimensions of: length 4858mm, width 1847mm, height 1439mm, a wheelbase of 2908mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 56 liters.

What are the symptoms of cylinder scuffing?

Cylinder scuffing may exhibit the following symptoms: 1. Reduced cylinder compression pressure leading to loss of power; 2. Downward leakage of combustible mixture increasing crankcase pressure, potentially causing crankcase explosion in severe cases; 3. Upward oil migration into cylinders resulting in oil burning; 4. Excessive smoke from exhaust pipe; 5. Abnormal engine noise; 6. Engine malfunction or even stalling. The causes of cylinder scuffing include: 1. Insufficient or interrupted cylinder lubrication; 2. Inadequate break-in period followed by immediate high-load operation; 3. Excessive piston temperature with poor lubrication; 4. Severe carbon buildup causing piston rings to stick in grooves, losing elasticity and potentially breaking or leaking combustion gases; 5. Use of low-quality gasoline. Solutions for cylinder scuffing are: 1. Replace pistons and piston rings; 2. Use high-quality engine oil; 3. Clean any foreign objects in the cylinder.
