Wheel balancing is required after patching a tire. The steps for wheel balancing are as follows: 1. Install the wheel on the balancing machine and select an appropriately sized fixture. 2. Turn on the power of the balancing machine, pull out the ruler to measure the distance from the rim to the balancing machine, the width of the rim, and the diameter of the rim, then input the measured data in order. 3. Enter the rim diameter into the controller and press START. The balancing machine will begin rotating the wheel, starting the measurement. 4. The balancing machine will automatically stop once it obtains the data. After the measurement stops, the computer will display the required weight of the balancing weights to be added to the inner and outer sides of the rim. First, install the weights on the outer side, rotate the tire, and hammer the weights into place according to the prompts.

How to Remove Engine Sludge?

Methods for cleaning sludge inside the engine include using engine cleaning oil or engine internal cleaner. When there is excessive sludge in the engine, disassembly of the engine is required. Below is a detailed introduction to the hazards of engine sludge: 1. Affects engine cooling capacity: A large amount of sludge adhering to the inner walls of the crankcase reduces the cooling capacity of the cylinder block, leading to excessively high oil temperatures and a decrease in engine power. 2. Increases oil flow resistance: When there is a significant amount of sludge in the engine's oil passages, it increases the resistance to oil flow, reduces oil flow rate, and thereby affects the lubrication effectiveness of the oil. 3. Blocks oil passages: Excessive sludge can clog the engine's oil passages, resulting in insufficient lubrication between engine components, increased friction, and in severe cases, can lead to phenomena such as bearing seizure and crankshaft seizure.

How to Remove Glue Marks from Car Paint?

There are several methods to remove glue marks from car paint, which include: 1. Hot Towel: Soak a cloth in hot water, place it on the area with glue residue for a while, and then gently wipe it off. 2. Fine Sand Wax: Use fine sand wax to polish, as it contains tiny sand particles. 4. Wanhua Oil: Apply a small amount to the glue area, wait about 5 seconds, and then wipe it off with a dry towel or tissue. Below is some additional information: 1. History and Classification: Car paint has undergone three major leaps in history: alkyd (enamel) paint in the 1920s, acrylic (enamel) paint in the 1960s, and clear coat in the 1980s. In the 20th century, car paint achieved significant advancements. For easier understanding, car paint can be simply categorized into standard paint and clear coat. 2. Introduction and Function: Car paint is a protective film sprayed onto the vehicle, a type of coating that prevents the body from corrosion and enhances its aesthetic appeal. Different car paints produce different effects, and the quality of the paint itself, along with the technology and a good painting environment, is crucial.

What are the differences between FAW and GAC?

The differences between FAW and GAC lie in historical background, vehicle models, production quality, and complaint ratios. Below are the distinctions between the two: 1. Historical Background: FAW Toyota was established in 2000 as Toyota's first partner in China, while GAC Toyota was founded in 2004 as Toyota's second partner. In terms of seniority, FAW Toyota is older than GAC Toyota. 2. Vehicle Models: Most of Toyota's main models are under FAW, including the Corolla, Crown, Reiz, RAV4, and Prado, as well as the Coaster bus for officials. GAC Toyota, on the other hand, offers models like the Levin, Camry, Highlander, Alphard, Yaris, and C-HR. 3. Production Quality: In 2016, GAC Toyota was the only one among Toyota's 50 global factories to achieve zero defects for the entire year. Additionally, the 2.0T direct-injection engine produced by GAC Toyota has been exported overseas and is even used in the Lexus ES200, something FAW Toyota has not accomplished. 4. Complaint Ratios: In 2017, FAW Toyota sold 693,000 vehicles, while GAC Toyota sold 440,000, making FAW's sales 56% higher. However, in terms of complaints, FAW Toyota had 1,017 entries on authoritative automotive complaint websites, compared to GAC Toyota's 342. Thus, the complaint-to-sales ratio is significantly higher for FAW Toyota than for GAC Toyota.

How many points are deducted for failing to yield to a school bus as required while driving a motor vehicle?

Failing to yield to a school bus as required while driving a motor vehicle results in a deduction of 6 points. According to the penalty provisions in the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver fails to yield to a school bus as required, they will be fined and have 6 points deducted. Below are the relevant regulations when encountering a school bus: 1. One-way road: When a school bus stops on the road to pick up or drop off students, it should pull over to the right side of the road, turn on the hazard warning lights, and display the stop sign. When a school bus stops on a road with only one lane in the same direction, vehicles behind must stop and wait, and are not allowed to overtake; 2. Non-one-way road: When a school bus stops on a road with two or more lanes, vehicles behind and in the adjacent lane must stop and wait, while vehicles in other lanes should slow down and pass.

What are the test items for driving license subject 3?

Subject 3 test items include vehicle preparation, lighting simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operation, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving. Below are some tips for the Subject 3 test: 1. Drive according to instructions: Listen carefully to the voice broadcast instructions of Subject 3 and follow them accordingly. Remember not to perform operations before the voice broadcast ends; you must wait until the broadcast is complete before proceeding to the next step. 2. Pay attention to special zones: In many areas, the voice broadcast no longer reminds candidates of special zones such as school zones, bus stops, and pedestrian crossings. However, candidates must perform corresponding deceleration or yielding operations based on the project signs and road markings. For school zones, apply the brakes 10 meters before the project sign, with the speed below 30km/h. For bus stops, apply the brakes 10 meters before the project sign, with the speed below 30km/h. For pedestrian crossings, apply the brakes to decelerate within 30 meters before the crossing, and stop to yield if pedestrians are crossing.
