If the sunroof of a new car leaks water due to a blocked drainage hole, it is considered normal. However, if it is caused by other reasons, it is not normal. Blocked Sunroof Drainage Hole: From production to sale, dust and dirt may accumulate in the gaps of a new car. During rain, these can easily block the drainage holes, which is a normal occurrence. Using a rod-like hard object to clean the drainage holes can resolve the issue. Other Causes of Sunroof Leakage: If the sunroof is deformed, the rubber seal is aged and not sealing properly, or the drainage pipes inside the A/B pillars are blocked, these can cause the sunroof to leak water. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a 4S store promptly to avoid further damage.

How often should Motul 7100 oil be changed for motorcycles?

Motul 7100 oil for motorcycles should be changed every 5,500 kilometers. Checking oil level: When changing the oil, park the motorcycle on a flat surface using the main stand, remove the drain screw at the bottom right of the engine, drain all the old oil, then reinstall the drain screw. Add approximately 800 milliliters of new oil. Insert the dipstick into the dipstick hole (push it all the way in without screwing it in), then remove it to check that the oil level is between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Choosing a qualified oil container: During hot seasons, even when using a fuel dispenser to fill gasoline into an oil container for refueling motorcycles parked in designated refueling areas, it is essential to use oil containers made of conductive materials like iron or aluminum. Plastic containers must not be used as they can easily cause static electricity reactions, leading to fires.

What to Do If the Engine Speed Sensor Has Missing Teeth?

Check the crankshaft position sensor for any foreign objects and inspect the flywheel for scratches. Oil Level Check: If this fault code appears, first check the oil level. If the oil level is below the minimum mark, top up the oil. Professional technicians and tools are required to diagnose this fault code. If this issue occurs, please contact a professional technician. Usage Tips: For automatic transmission vehicles, do not overly focus on acceleration speed. If the gear shifts late, avoid stomping on the accelerator, as this will only produce the opposite effect. When starting, firmly press the brake, shift the gear lever into drive, wait for 0.5 seconds until you feel a slight vibration from the vehicle, then proceed to start.

Can Used Airbags Be Used?

Used airbags can be used. Airbag System: The airbag system is not allowed to be opened or repaired, only new components can be replaced and used. Airbag Device Date: The airbag device has a replacement date (a label is affixed in the toolbox, and in American cars, it is under the sun visor). Even if there is no collision, the airbag device must be replaced after 10 years. Airbag Device Replacement: If the airbag device or its detonator falls from a height of more than 0.5m onto the ground, it can no longer be installed in the vehicle. Airbag components that have suffered mechanical damage (such as dents or cracks) must be replaced, as cracks can lead to damage to the printed circuit board and cause the airbag system to malfunction.

What is the significance of slope fixed-point parking?

The significance of slope fixed-point parking lies in the ability to stop immediately. The "slope fixed-point parking and starting" item has been removed from the Category 2 test for small automatic transmission vehicles. After entering the vehicle, candidates should first adjust the seat, rearview mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt. It is advisable to maintain a fixed and comfortable sitting posture, leaning back against the seat with hands naturally placed on the steering wheel, ensuring the distance is neither too far nor too close. Time limit for slope starting: Must not exceed 30 seconds. Slope fixed-point parking: Upon hearing the "slope fixed-point parking" instruction (approximately 20 meters away from the pole), turn on the right turn signal, appropriately steer the wheel to the right, allowing the vehicle to slowly drive straight along the right side of the road while paying attention to the distance between the vehicle body and the right sideline. Deduction criteria for slope starting: If the vehicle's bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward, 100 points will be deducted; if the vehicle rolls back more than 30 cm during starting, 100 points will be deducted; if the vehicle's bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward, 20 points will be deducted.

At how many kilometers should the first major maintenance be performed for a compact car?

The first major maintenance for a compact car is at 30,000 kilometers. Engine Oil Replacement: Changing the engine oil (mineral oil, semi-synthetic, fully synthetic) is the primary task at 40,000 kilometers. Regular car maintenance (every 7,000-10,000 kilometers) also requires oil changes, and at 40,000 kilometers, it is necessary as well. Engine oils include mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil, with quality increasing progressively among the three. Transmission Fluid Replacement: Most car maintenance manuals specify that transmission fluid should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is typically replaced during "major" maintenance. The transmission is the link between the clutch and the drive shaft, with internal gears being very precise. Frequent gear shifting can cause the transmission fluid to deteriorate, which then fails to provide adequate cooling and lubrication. Coolant Replacement: The replacement interval for car coolant is generally 2 years, aligning well with the 40,000-kilometer major maintenance cycle. Coolants usually come in two colors: pink and blue. The cost of coolant is relatively low, and it is recommended to follow the car's maintenance manual for replacement. Generally, coolant needs to be topped up after driving 40,000 kilometers.

What Causes a Mercedes-Benz to Frequently Run at Low Speed with Normal Water Temperature?

Mercedes-Benz frequently running at low speed with normal water temperature is caused by issues such as the water pump impeller coming off the shaft, water pump damage, cooling system blockage, or water temperature sensor failure. Water Pump Damage: The coolant circulates through the water pump. If the water pump is damaged, the coolant essentially loses its function, and the heat generated by engine combustion cannot be dissipated. Insufficient Coolant: It is common knowledge among car owners that insufficient coolant leads to increased water temperature. However, using water or substandard, unqualified coolant as a cooling medium can also cause the engine temperature to rise excessively. Thermostat Damage: When the thermostat is damaged or stuck, the engine operates with only a minimal coolant circulation, and the radiator fails to dissipate heat effectively. This results in low cooling intensity, leading to high engine temperature.
