The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is not a part-time four-wheel drive; all models in the series feature full-time four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive systems in vehicles are divided into three main categories: on-demand four-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, and full-time four-wheel drive. On-demand four-wheel drive offers weaker off-road capabilities and is typically found in some urban SUVs. Full-time four-wheel drive means that all wheels are independently driven at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Taking the 2019 G500 as an example, it is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 310 kW and a maximum torque of 610 Nm, all meeting the China V emission standards.

How to Operate Dragging Brakes?

Poor return of the brake master cylinder. This condition generally results in the phenomenon of multiple wheels "dragging brakes" simultaneously. Blockage in the brake pipeline. This usually occurs on a single wheel, requiring replacement of the pipeline and inspection of the cause of the blockage. Poor return of the brake slave cylinder. Due to possible moisture content in the brake fluid, the piston of the slave cylinder may rust, preventing flexible return. Due to aging and damage of the dust cover on the guide pin, rusting occurs, causing the brake slave cylinder to fail to return in time.

How to Start a Underbone Motorcycle When the Key is Lost?

After the key of an underbone motorcycle is lost, you can start it directly by kick-starting. Connecting the red wire with the black wire in the wiring harness can power the motorcycle and enable all functions to work normally. To turn off the engine, simply disconnect the red and black wires and plug the connector back in. If it is an AC ignition motorcycle, you can start it directly by kick-starting. If it is a DC ignition motorcycle, you only need to connect the two power wires to start it.

Why is the car making loud noises while driving?

Here are the reasons why a car may produce loud noises while driving: 1. Wind noise: Every car will have wind noise, which is unavoidable as long as the car is moving. To address wind noise, isolation methods are generally used. If the wind noise inside the car feels significantly louder than before, the solution is to add sealing strips to the door frames and include some soundproofing cotton inside the doors, which can effectively reduce the noise entering the car. 2. Tire noise: Tire noise is generated by the friction between the tires and the road surface during high-speed driving. The level of tire noise depends on road and vehicle conditions—poorer road conditions result in louder tire noise. Additionally, there is a significant difference between the tire noise produced on asphalt roads and concrete roads. Since it cannot be avoided, the most effective solution is to adjust the tire pressure to a moderate level, as higher tire pressure leads to increased noise. Tire noise is a structural noise primarily caused by vibrations. Adding damping plates along with sound-absorbing pads can effectively address road and tire noise. If the tire noise is too loud, check if the tires are worn out or consider switching to a set of quiet tires, which can significantly reduce tire noise. 3. Chassis noise: The chassis serves as the foundation of the entire car, and the noise it produces mainly comes from the suspension, various stabilizer bars, and shock absorbers. If the issue lies with the suspension, adding soundproofing cotton and vibration-damping plates to the bottom of the trunk can yield good results. However, in most cases, chassis noise is caused by problems with the shock absorbers. The entire car will produce loud noises when driving over uneven surfaces. At this point, it is essential to thoroughly inspect the car's shock absorbers, as severe oil leakage may be the issue. 4. Engine noise: Engine noise is very noticeable because the engine is closest to the cabin and is the most easily felt area. Engine noise can be divided into cold-start noise and hot-engine noise. Cold-start noise refers to abnormal sounds coming from the engine compartment when starting the car, which disappear after the engine warms up. This noise is mostly due to the car being parked for too long, causing the oil to drain back into the oil pan and resulting in insufficient lubrication and oil pressure, leading to a ticking sound. Additional information: 1. There are many reasons for hot-engine noise. Excluding inherent factors, abnormal noises usually indicate either a problem with a part or a component failure, such as excessively high oil viscosity, carbon buildup in the engine cylinders, or valve leakage. If the engine noise gradually becomes louder, it should be promptly inspected at a repair shop. 2. If inspections of the engine oil pump, cooling system, exhaust pipe for cracks, and adjustments to the valves and engine oil pressure reveal no issues, yet the noise persists, consider adding a layer of soundproofing cotton under the hood. This can block engine noise from entering the cabin while also providing insulation, achieving multiple benefits.
