I just bought a new car not long ago and noticed obvious shaking during low-speed acceleration, especially in urban traffic jams—the entire steering wheel vibrates. After doing some research online, I learned there are quite a few reasons for new car shaking: the most likely culprit is an engine ignition system issue, such as carbon buildup on the spark plugs or faulty ignition coils, leading to uneven combustion. Fuel system problems, like insufficient fuel pump pressure or clogged fuel injectors, can also cause unstable fuel supply. Suspension components, such as improperly installed shock absorbers fresh from the factory, might contribute to the shaking too. New cars are particularly prone to these minor issues during the break-in period, so it’s advisable to first inspect the fuel and electrical systems—don’t delay and let the problem worsen. If needed, quickly head to the 4S dealership for a comprehensive diagnosis. After all, it’s a new car under warranty, and getting it fixed for free is the most cost-effective solution.

What are the requirements for the slope in Subject 2 of the driving test?

Slope parking is one of the more challenging tasks in Subject 2. Below are the detailed requirements: 1. Slope requirements: The slope for Subject 2 must be ≥10% gradient and ≥30 meters in length. The test assesses the driver's ability to park and start on a slope at a designated spot, evaluating the coordination of steering, braking, and clutch operation. The objective is to train drivers to accurately judge the vehicle's position and correctly use the brake, gear, and clutch to adapt to parking and starting on uphill sections. 2. Deduction criteria: Failing to park at the designated spot results in a 100-point deduction; if the front bumper does not reach the control line after stopping, 100 points are deducted; rolling back more than 30 cm after stopping leads to a 100-point deduction; rolling back less than 30 cm results in a 10-point deduction; not activating the left turn signal when starting incurs a 10-point deduction; driving over the solid edge line of the road results in a 100-point deduction; stopping without reaching the parking line leads to a 10-point deduction; taking more than 30 seconds to start results in a 100-point deduction.

What else needs to be replaced when changing the timing belt?

When replacing the timing belt in a car, it is also necessary to replace the corresponding tensioner pulley at the same time. The function of the tensioner pulley is to adjust the tightness of the timing belt. It is generally replaced together with the timing belt to avoid future troubles. Other parts do not need to be replaced unless necessary. Just perform regular maintenance. Additional information: 1. During actual use, the tensioner pulley requires a certain torque to maintain appropriate belt tension, prevent belt slippage, and compensate for the elongation caused by belt wear and aging. When the tensioner pulley is in operation, the moving belt may excite vibrations in the tensioner, which can lead to premature wear of the belt and tensioner. 2. Nowadays, as cars become more advanced, the workload for repairs will gradually decrease. As a result, car owners often think that their vehicles basically do not need repairs. However, various car manufacturers clearly specify the cycle for routine inspection and replacement of the timing belt. As part of regular maintenance and comprehensive inspection, the maintenance of the timing belt should be included in the regular maintenance program.

What is the difference between reissuing the inspection compliance mark and applying for the inspection exemption mark?

The inspection compliance mark and the inspection exemption mark are essentially the same. The mark received by an inspection-exempt vehicle and the mark issued by a testing station after passing the safety technical inspection differ only in the inspection institution item on the back. For the inspection exemption mark, "None" is printed, while for the mark issued by the testing station, the name of the inspection institution is printed. The rest is the same. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspection: 1. Processing location: Embassies/consulates and foreign-licensed motor vehicles should go to the vehicle management office, while other motor vehicles should go to the branch office of the vehicle management office corresponding to the address recorded in the identity document of the vehicle owner. The vehicle management office or branch office will complete the process within one working day from the date of acceptance, without any fees. 2. Address: For organizations, the address is the one recorded in their identity document; for individuals, the address is the one they declared. 3. Circumstances for reissuing the motor vehicle inspection compliance mark and required documents: During the valid period of the motor vehicle inspection compliance, if the inspection compliance mark is damaged, lost, or destroyed, the vehicle owner should submit the following documents to apply for reissuance of the motor vehicle inspection compliance mark.

Where is the windshield washer fluid location in the Elysion?

There is a small blue-capped container on the left side of the engine compartment. The container with the front windshield spray symbol on its cap is the windshield washer fluid reservoir, and the washer fluid should be filled into this container. Do not overfill it; just enough to slightly see the water surface at the deepest part. The method for selecting windshield washer fluid is as follows: 1. In autumn and winter, the washer fluid should have excellent cleaning and antifreeze properties. Winter washer fluid should be selected based on antifreeze performance, choosing a product with a freezing point at least 10°C below the local minimum temperature. Otherwise, it may cause the washer fluid to freeze or lead to pump failure in the washer reservoir. You can choose based on the local temperature. Reputable brands categorize their products into different levels according to temperature, allowing selection based on seasonal changes. 2. Additionally, the washer fluid should also have protective properties for the windshield and wipers. This means it should protect and maintain the vehicle during normal use. Some brand washer fluids, by blending various surfactants and additives, uniquely repair minor scratches on the windshield surface, forming a protective film to provide comprehensive care for the windshield. Specially added corrosion inhibitors ensure no corrosion to various metals, protecting the car's paint, wipers, and rubber components.

What Causes the Car Throttle to Be Unstable and Jerky?

It could be a fault in the fuel supply. If the fuel pump pressure is insufficient, it may be due to prolonged periods without refueling, leading to premature aging and damage of the fuel pump. It is recommended to replace the fuel pump. Below are some related explanations: 1. Clogged Fuel Filter: If the fuel filter is clogged or leaking, it can also result in insufficient fuel supply, causing the car to jerk after pressing the throttle. It is advisable to replace the fuel filter and test drive to see if the issue resolves. The fuel filter typically filters large particulate impurities from gasoline, improving fuel quality, and generally needs replacement every 1-2 years. 2. Clogged Fuel Injector: This can lead to poor fuel atomization, potentially causing the air-fuel mixture to become too lean, resulting in misfires in one or multiple cylinders, and severe engine shaking at idle or during acceleration. After removing the fuel injector, use a specialized tester to evaluate its performance (usually by measuring fuel injection volume per unit time and observing atomization effects). Be sure to remove and install the injectors in the correct order, and if replacing with a new injector, ensure it is properly matched with the car's computer system.

Will Leaving a Car Unused for 10 Days Have Any Impact?

The main issues with leaving a car unused for an extended period are: the battery may drain if not charged for a long time, making it difficult to start the car; tires left in one position for too long can lead to uneven pressure distribution and deformation. Generally, it's recommended to start the car at least once a week if it's not being used. Leaving it unused for 10 days isn't a major issue, but parking should be carefully considered—preferably in a sheltered area. Below are some relevant details: Battery: For long-term parking, the most critical component is the car battery. Even when not in use, the battery discharges on its own. Typically, a battery can fully discharge in about three months. Therefore, it's advisable to disconnect the battery if the car will be unused for an extended period. Otherwise, the car's electrical components will continue to drain power. Otherwise, after 10 days, you may need to seek help from a repair shop or another car to jump-start the battery. Idling to Warm Up the Engine: When using a car that has been parked for a long time, it's essential to let it idle and warm up. If the idle speed is unstable during warm-up, it's recommended to press the accelerator to warm up the car while stationary. If the car has been parked for too long, consider entrusting it to a friend to drive it at least 5 kilometers per week. This ensures the battery gets charged and all components remain properly lubricated and functional.
