It may be caused by a decrease in the friction coefficient of the belt surface or excessive wear of the belt, requiring timely inspection and replacement. If the noise occurs when the vehicle is under load, you can observe one set of the drive belts. There is usually a belt wear length indicator at the bottom of the belt automatic tensioner. If the pointer exceeds the range, it indicates that the belt is excessively worn and needs to be replaced promptly to avoid more faults while driving. Methods to deal with belt noise: 1. It is necessary to check the engine belt, preferably with the help of a professional to avoid causing other faults by doing it yourself. Checking the car belt while the engine is running can be dangerous and is not recommended. 2. You can determine which belt has a problem by listening to the sound. If the belt noise occurs when using the air conditioner, it may be a problem with the air conditioner compressor belt.

What Causes the Cruise Control Warning Light to Illuminate?

The cruise control warning light illuminates due to a malfunction in the cruise control system or abnormal operation of the clutch and throttle. Below is a detailed introduction about the automotive clutch system: 1. Overview: The transmission is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion, typically located between the clutch and the central drive. It can alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. A gear-driven transmission generally consists of a housing and several gears. 2. Classification: Automatic transmissions have become mainstream internationally, primarily including AT, AMT, CVT, and DCT types. Early AT transmission systems were mainly 4AT. AT transmissions use an electronically controlled automatic operating system to achieve automatic gear shifting. CVT is a true continuously variable transmission with fewer parts and a compact size. DCT features two clutches.

What is the Difference Between OEM and Aftermarket Auto Parts?

The differences between OEM and aftermarket auto parts are: 1. Quality varies: OEM parts have superior quality with no issues in appearance or performance, but their prices are correspondingly higher; while aftermarket parts vary in price, and their quality is naturally inconsistent. 2. Presence of logo: OEM parts are usually secondary parts suppliers designated by the automaker. To distinguish them from aftermarket parts, they generally bear the logo of the automaker or the automaker's supplier. Relevant information about OEM and aftermarket parts is as follows: 1. OEM parts: Generally refer to parts assembled by the automaker's designated suppliers. 2. Aftermarket parts: If other manufacturers not among the designated suppliers or dealers also produce parts for the same vehicle model, they can be considered aftermarket.

What do IG1 and IG2 represent in automotive circuits?

In automotive circuits, IG1 and IG2 represent two types of spark plugs. Below is an introduction regarding spark plug oil leakage: Consequences: Spark plug oil leakage can cause various abnormalities in the vehicle, such as increased fuel consumption (iridium spark plugs save over 10% fuel), reduced acceleration power, and engine shaking. Spark plug oil leakage is typically caused by issues with the piston rings, valve stem seals, or fuel injectors. Regardless of the cause, the spark plugs should be replaced. Reasons: Spark plug oil leakage may result from damaged fuel injectors, valve cover gasket leaks allowing oil to reach the spark plugs, or problems with the piston rings and valve stem seals. The specific cause may require diagnosis at a professional repair shop. Spark plug oil leakage can lead to increased vehicle fuel consumption (extreme combustion iridium spark plugs reduce fuel consumption by over 10%), poor acceleration, and failed emissions tests. It is recommended that vehicle owners conduct regular inspections and replace spark plugs promptly.

What Causes a Car Battery to Suddenly Lose Power?

Reasons for a car battery suddenly losing power are as follows: 1. Long-term parking of the car: This leads to battery discharge. Even when the car is idle, the battery naturally discharges due to its inherent discharge characteristics, even when not in use. 2. The battery has reached its lifespan: It is necessary to replace the battery as soon as possible. 3. Engine damage: This can be due to loose or broken generator belts, preventing the generator from functioning. Alternatively, the generator contains a rectifier, and a sudden high current can burn out the rectifier's diodes. Additionally, issues with the carbon brushes and slip rings, such as excessive wear of the carbon brushes, can lead to poor contact. Problems with the stator coil, such as short circuits or breaks, can also prevent the generator from working. 4. Electrolyte issues: Insufficient battery electrolyte or leakage can occur, as the electrolyte naturally evaporates and depletes during normal use of the car battery.

How Long Do Brake Pads Need to Break In?

Brake pads require a break-in period of approximately 200 kilometers. The method for replacing brake pads is as follows: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Remove the bolts of the brake caliper and take out the brake pads; 4. Install new brake pads and tighten the guide bolts to complete the replacement. The working principle of brake pads is to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby stopping the vehicle. The materials used for brake pads include: 1. Asbestos, cellulose, sintered glass; 2. Carbon fiber friction materials; 3. Powder metallurgy friction materials; 4. Semi-metallic friction materials.
