It is not serious if the small iron block on the wheel hub falls off. Below are specific explanations regarding the small iron block falling off: 1. Function: The small iron block on the wheel hub is used for tire dynamic balancing. If it falls off, it needs to be reinstalled by removing the wheel, inserting a lead block of the corresponding weight in the same position, performing wheel dynamic balancing again, and then reinstalling it. 2. Impact: If it is not replaced after falling off, it will affect the comfort of driving. Over time, it may cause vehicle shaking, deviation, abnormal tire wear, and increase safety hazards. The car wheel is an assembly consisting of the tire and the wheel hub. Due to manufacturing processes, the weight distribution of various parts of the wheel is uneven. When the car rotates at high speed, dynamic imbalance occurs, leading to unstable driving and steering wheel vibration. To avoid or eliminate this phenomenon, weight is typically added to the side of the wheel to correct the balance of the wheel's parts.

How long does it take for a tire to bulge after hitting a curb?

Tire bulging after hitting a curb can occur immediately if the tire hits the curb at high speed; if the speed is slower or the impact is minor, the cord fabric may not break, and bulging won't happen right away. Below is relevant information about tire bulging: 1. Types of bulging: Tire bulging can be classified into cord fabric breakage bulging and delamination bulging. Delamination bulging mainly includes three types: tread separation, shoulder separation, and bead separation. Tread separation primarily manifests as delamination on the tire tread surface (known as the crown). 2. Causes of bulging: The main reason is excessive tire pressure during use, which reduces the tire's contact area, leading to premature wear. Additionally, rapid acceleration or poor heat dissipation during tire use can cause the tread temperature to rise.

Where to Reissue a Lost Used Car Invoice?

You can request a replacement invoice at the place of transaction (most will issue a certificate instead). Required documents: vehicle registration certificate, driving license, and photocopies of both parties' ID cards. Below are specific details about used car transaction invoices: 1. Purpose: Serves as proof of origin required during the transfer process, certifying that the vehicle's procedures are normal and it's not a stolen vehicle. Used car transaction invoices must be issued by formal used car markets or qualified enterprises with invoicing authority. The invoice comes in quintuplicate, with the first two copies given to the owner and the remaining three retained by the issuing unit. Of the two copies kept by the owner, the first copy is for personal records and can be used for insurance transfer, while the other copy is submitted to the service station for archival purposes. 2. Amount: Underreporting the invoice amount results in reduced insurance coverage.

What are the test items for the 2021 C2 License Subject 2 Exam?

The 2021 C2 license Subject 2 exam consists of four items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turning. Some regions also include the high-speed card retrieval item. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, the C2 exam does not include the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the "hill start and stop" item is no longer assessed for C2 and C5 Subject 2 exams. Reverse parking is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 exam, which is why many test centers place it as the first item. The key points for reverse parking are: the steering wheel turning point, the 30 cm correction point, and the parking point inside the garage. Drivers must follow the prescribed route and sequence. The vehicle must be parked inside the garage without crossing the lines. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the garage with the rear wheel, spotting the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheel and the left dotted line. After parking, there's no need to straighten the wheels, but don't forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not cross the lines when parked, and the tires must not touch or press the lane boundary lines during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good vehicle control, often completed by "feel," indicating its relatively low difficulty. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure by crossing the lines. The key to the S-curve is observing the position of the hood marker points relative to the boundary lines. The wheels must not press the road edge lines. Right-angle turning is arguably the easiest item, essentially a simplified version of the exit part from the reverse parking item. The method for finding the turning point is similar to exiting the garage, based on the relationship between the hood's horizontal line and the front line (just touching or slightly delaying). Care must be taken not to let the wheels press the road edge lines. Generally, the required training hours for C1 Subject 2 are 16 hours, while C2 requires 14 hours. Completing the required hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 exam. Training hours can only be increased, not decreased, and additional test items require corresponding extra hours. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If a candidate fails the Subject 2 exam, they are allowed one retake. If the retake is also failed, the exam session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the exam after ten days. If a candidate fails to pass after five consecutive exam attempts (including retakes, totaling ten attempts), all previously passed subject scores become invalid, and the candidate must start over from Subject 1.

What is the actual lifespan of a Mitsubishi CVT transmission?

The lifespan of a Mitsubishi CVT transmission can reach up to 300,000 kilometers. Principle of CVT transmission: It mainly consists of two conical pulleys and a steel belt or chain. The two conical pulleys can be tightened and loosened by an electronically controlled hydraulic device, changing the diameter of the steel belt wrapped around the pulleys to achieve the purpose of altering the transmission ratio. During startup, the driving pulley has the smallest diameter, while the driven pulley has the largest diameter. At high speeds, the driving pulley's diameter increases, and the driven pulley's diameter decreases. The entire process of diameter adjustment is controlled by a computer, enabling stepless adjustment and continuously variable transmission. Advantages of CVT transmission: Since the CVT transmission has no mechanical gears, the driving process is very smooth with almost no noticeable jerks. The CVT has fewer components, only a few hundred, which contributes to its higher reliability.

Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in a 2013 Audi?

The fuse for the front cigarette lighter is located on the side of the passenger compartment on the right side of the dashboard, while the fuse for the rear cigarette lighter is in the toolbox in the trunk. Here is some relevant information: 1. In addition to lighting cigarettes, the car cigarette lighter can also be equipped with a car inverter, which converts the car's 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for use with ordinary electrical appliances. For example, it can charge mobile electronic devices. It is best to use a split-type car inverter, with the power of the electrical appliance limited to below 150W, and the output current should not exceed the battery current. 2. The power voltage of the cigarette lighter is 12 volts, consistent with the vehicle's battery voltage. Usually, the cigarette lighter has a separate power line connected to it, not mixed with other circuits, so it has a separate fuse.

What are the differences between the BMW X4 and X6?

The differences between the BMW X4 and X6 are as follows: 1. BMW X4: Length 4683mm, width 1890mm, height 1636mm. BMW X6: Length 4929mm, width 1989mm, height 1709mm. 2. The X6 is equipped with a 2.0T or 3.0T-V6 engine, paired with the same 8AT transmission. The X4 is equipped with a 2.0T engine paired with an 8AT transmission. The BMW X6 and X4 are derived crossover models of the X5 and X3 SUVs, respectively. Their lower body height and fastback tailgate design help reduce the drag coefficient, improving the vehicle's power performance and driving stability. 3. The BMW X6 does not adopt BMW's latest family design, so there are differences in the headlight styling between the two models.
