The benefits of changing spark plugs include: ensuring complete combustion of gasoline, thereby achieving optimal power output and reducing fuel consumption. The steps for replacing spark plugs are: 1. Disconnect the high-voltage wire connector, taking care to operate gently and avoid forcefully shaking the spark plug insulator to prevent damage to the spark plug's sealing performance; 2. Loosen the spark plug to be removed, use a thin, soft tube to blow away any dirt around the spark plug to prevent debris from falling into the combustion chamber when the spark plug is removed; 3. Clean the area around the screw, the spark plug electrode, and the sealing gasket to ensure they are clean, dry, and free of oil; 4. Use a socket to align the spark plug with the threaded hole and gently screw it in by hand until about half of the thread length is engaged, then use a torque wrench to tighten it. If resistance is felt during tightening, remove the spark plug to check for proper alignment or any debris in the threads. Do not force it to avoid damaging the threaded hole or the cylinder head; 5. Tighten the spark plug to the specified torque.

What to Do When the Car Shows a Red Pot Dripping Water?

When the car displays a red oil pot dripping water, it indicates that the oil warning light is on. At this time, you should immediately stop the car and check the engine oil. There are many reasons that can cause the oil warning light to come on, including insufficient oil, poor oil quality, and excessively high engine temperature. Continuing to drive may cause damage to the vehicle, so when the oil pot light on the dashboard turns red, it is essential to stop promptly, call for assistance, and wait for rescue quietly. The specific reasons are as follows: Clogging of the oil filter; Insufficient oil quantity, leading to reduced oil pumping by the oil pump or inability to pump oil due to air intake, resulting in decreased oil pressure; Poor oil quality, selecting oil with low viscosity leading to poor sealing and gas leakage; Selecting oil with excessively high low-temperature viscosity causing pumping difficulties. If the oil fault light comes on, promptly go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Methods to handle when a red oil pot appears on the dashboard are as follows: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. Using qualified lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine parts and extend their service life.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Lavida 1.4T Automatic Comfort Edition?

The Lavida 1.4T Automatic Comfort Edition currently has only one model on sale, with a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT) across all models. In the same class, the 2022 Civic has a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters, the 2021 Xingrui has a capacity of 50 liters, and the 2021 Corolla also has a capacity of 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

Why is the car steering wheel heavier on one side and lighter on the other?

The reasons for a car steering wheel being heavier on one side and lighter on the other: 1. Damaged car shock absorber: Damage to the car shock absorber causes an imbalance between the two shock absorbers, resulting in the steering wheel feeling heavier on one side and lighter on the other when turning. It is necessary to inspect the car's shock absorbers and plane bearings, and repair them immediately if damaged, otherwise it may cause safety hazards; 2. Improper adjustment of the limit valve: The limit valve needs to be inspected and adjusted; 3. Damaged car steering gear: Damage to the car steering gear can cause the steering wheel to be heavier on one side and lighter on the other, as well as car deviation and difficulty in steering. It is necessary to go to a repair shop or 4S store for professional inspection and repair; 4. Lack of four-wheel alignment: After replacing the car tires, it is essential to perform four-wheel alignment again, otherwise it will lead to many unnecessary problems; 5. Improper installation of the steering wheel gear: If the gear is not installed properly when installing the car steering wheel, there will be issues such as an uneven steering wheel or it being heavier on one side and lighter on the other. The steering wheel needs to be reinstalled.

What is the tire model specification of the Zhijun?

Zhijun's original tire configuration model is 195/60R14. The first number 195 indicates that the tire width is 195MM, 60 means the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, that is, the section height is 60% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 14 represents the rim diameter is 14 inches. Zhijun has a top speed of 187km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 12.5 seconds, and has a fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. In addition to the model, the tire is also marked with the following common data: Tire cord material: represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings are: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification that matches the tire. For practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.

Can the car still be driven if it shows a tire leak?

The car should not be driven if it shows a tire leak. A leaking tire causes the tire pressure to drop too low, increasing the contact area between the tire and the road surface. This leads to abnormal temperature increases inside the tire while driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewall accelerates the aging of the cord layers, creating a risk of blowouts. It also increases fuel consumption and reduces tire lifespan. In severe cases, it can damage the car's suspension, causing the vehicle to pull to one side, become unbalanced, or even roll over. Relevant information about car tires is as follows: 1. Car tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car's suspension system, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also maintain good traction between the wheels and the road, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities, while bearing the vehicle's weight. 2. The tread pattern is the only part of the vehicle that contacts the road surface. Due to prolonged friction with the road, the tread gradually wears down. When it reaches the replacement indicator, the tire should be replaced immediately.
