Reasons for brake system failure: 1. Insufficient brake fluid pressure; 2. Air in the brake system; 3. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal or excessive brake clearance; 4. Poor contact, severe wear, or oil contamination of the brake shoe friction lining; 5. Wear or scoring of the master cylinder, wheel cylinder pistons and cylinder tubes, or aging and damage of the rubber cups. The hazards of brake system failure are: 1. Increased brake pedal travel; 2. Slow braking response; 3. Reduced braking efficiency; 4. Increased braking distance. Solutions for brake system failure: 1. Bleed the brake system; 2. Adjust the pedal free travel, check brake clearance, and disassemble and repair the brakes; 3. Adjust and repair the technical condition of the brakes.

What car brand is ETC?

ETC electronic tag is an OBU device, which is commonly referred to as the ETC device. OBU devices are mostly installed on the windshield of motor vehicles and communicate with the roadside unit (RSU) via microwave at highway toll stations. When the vehicle approaches the toll gate, the RSU recognizes the signal from the OBU and automatically opens the toll gate, achieving the function of automatic control for passage. The solution for a detached ETC device is to go back to the original installation point or the ETC service outlet of the provincial highway to have it reinstalled and reactivated, which will allow normal driving through the ETC dedicated lane. For damage or detachment not caused by human factors, ETC devices can generally be reactivated for free. When attaching the ETC device, it is advisable to choose the black edge area of the windshield and ensure the surface is clean and dust-free before attachment; otherwise, the device may not adhere firmly. Here are some precautions when using ETC: Insufficient balance in the ETC card may lead to failed deductions and being listed on the ETC blacklist. Blacklisted users cannot pass through ETC lanes, but this status can be lifted 24 hours after recharging. After activation, the ETC RFID tag should be properly stored, protected from water, moisture, and strong magnets. The ETC device uses solar charging, and the built-in battery normally lasts for more than three years. For those who do not drive frequently, it is recommended to charge the ETC device once a month to extend its lifespan.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for a Vespa?

Vespa tire pressure is generally normal between 2.2—2.5 bar, with the front tire pressure maintained at 2.2 bar and the rear tire pressure at 2.5 bar. Below is relevant information about car tire pressure: 1. Normal range of tire pressure: The tire pressure for passenger car tires is usually between 2.3~2.8 BAR, and as long as it is within this range, it is safe. 2. Reference factors: The impact of seasonal temperature changes on tire pressure can be ignored. For empty or half-loaded conditions, refer to the lower limit of the recommended inflation pressure sticker on the vehicle as a reference value. For full load, use the upper limit of tire pressure as a reference value. In addition to these factors, cold tires and hot tires can cause deviations in measured tire pressure values. Therefore, to ensure accurate tire pressure readings, always measure when the tires are cold.

Is it necessary to replace the tensioner pulley when changing the car belt?

It is necessary to replace the tensioner pulley when changing the car belt. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Timing belt introduction: Made of rubber, it is a consumable item that requires regular replacement. Once the timing belt ages and cracks appear, it must be replaced. Generally, it is recommended to replace the timing belt every 3-5 years or after driving about 80,000-100,000 kilometers. 2. Tensioner pulley introduction: The tensioner pulley mainly consists of a fixed housing, tension arm, wheel body, torsion spring, rolling bearing, and spring bushing. It can automatically adjust the tension according to the different tightness levels of the belt, ensuring the transmission system is stable, safe, and reliable. The tensioner pulley is a vulnerable part of car accessories. Belts can easily stretch over time. Some tensioner pulleys can automatically adjust the belt tension. Additionally, belts with tensioner pulleys run more smoothly, reduce noise, and prevent slipping. The function of the tensioner pulley also includes adjusting the tightness of the timing belt.
