You can choose to replace spark plugs at a 4S shop or do it yourself. The specific replacement steps are as follows: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage ignition wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage ignition wires according to the firing order and secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's recommended to follow the user manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

What is the reason why the brake light is still on after the engine is turned off?

The reason why the brake light is still on after the engine is turned off is that the brake switch has malfunctioned, and replacing it can solve the problem. The brake switch is a device that controls the rear brake lights. Generally speaking, when the brake is pressed, the switch is activated, turning on the rear brake lights. The brake light is installed at the rear of the vehicle, with a main color of red. Its purpose is to make it easier for vehicles behind to detect when the front vehicle is braking under low visibility conditions, thereby preventing rear-end collisions. Brake lights are categorized by material into: 1. Gas brake lights: characterized by mature technology, but they produce radiation; 2. LED brake lights: characterized by no radiation, no pollution, and a long service life.

Why does the old Teana 230jk consume so much fuel?

The oldest Teana 230jk was released in 2004, making it 17 years old now, and naturally, it has become quite fuel-consuming. Equipped with a 2.3L 173-horsepower V6 engine, its fuel consumption is relatively high. Over time, neglecting maintenance can lead to severe carbon buildup in components such as spark plugs and clutch plates, which in turn increases fuel consumption. Additionally, signals from the oxygen sensor and coolant temperature sensor may become misaligned, further contributing to higher fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Driving habits: If the driver frequently engages in aggressive driving, rapid acceleration, or sudden deceleration during operation, it will significantly impact the vehicle's fuel consumption. Statistics show that incorrect driving habits can increase fuel consumption by 5-30%. 2. Tire pressure: For models without tire pressure monitoring displays, many owners tend to overlook the importance of tire pressure. When tire pressure is either too high or too low, the vehicle's fuel consumption will rise. 3. Road conditions: If the car often travels on poor road surfaces, the engine's load increases, leading to a natural rise in fuel consumption.

Does changing the car grille affect the annual inspection?

Changing the car grille does not affect the annual inspection. However, if the grille is replaced after the new car is registered, it is necessary to go to the vehicle management office for re-registration and replacement of the vehicle license, otherwise it will affect the annual inspection. The car grille, also known as the front face, mask, radiator grille, or radiator guard, mainly serves to allow air intake for the radiator, engine, and air conditioning, prevent damage to internal components from foreign objects while driving, and enhance aesthetics to showcase individuality. In automotive engineering, the grille is used to cover the body to allow air intake. Most vehicles have a front grille to protect the radiator and engine.
