The causes of parking brake failure are as follows: 1. The parking brake lever cannot be fixed. 2. The parking brake fails. 3. The parking brake makes abnormal noises or is aging. 4. The gap between the friction pads and the brake drum of the automatic parking system is too large. 5. The wear on the parking brake pin shaft is severe, the gap is too large, or the parking brake rod is adjusted too long. Precautions for using the parking brake: 1. Do not tighten the parking brake while the car is moving: This can cause the braking effect to decrease due to overheating, shorten the life of the brake, or cause permanent damage to the brake. If the parking brake cannot stably hold the car or cannot fully release, immediately request an inspection from a dealer or service station. Always fully engage the parking brake before leaving the car, otherwise the car may move and cause injury or damage. 2. When parking, ensure the gear lever of a manual transmission car is in neutral: For automatic transmission cars, the gear lever should be in the P (Park) position or N (Neutral) position. Most automatic transmission cars can only remove the ignition key when in the P position.

Do I need to follow when the 4S shop tows my car away?

Towing the car to the 4S shop for repairs does not require the owner to be present; a proxy can handle it instead. If the car is under warranty, bring the warranty manual. If it's out of warranty, bring the maintenance manual. Below is additional information: Introduction to 4S Shops: A 4S shop is a car franchise model centered around the 'four-in-one' concept, encompassing vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey), hence the name 4S shop. Simply put, it's akin to an authorized dealership, uniformly designed by the manufacturer and operated according to the manufacturer's business model. Currently, joint-venture car manufacturers in China have established 4S shops nationwide. These manufacturers supply vehicles and spare parts directly to the 4S shops, which are responsible for sales and providing after-sales services on behalf of the manufacturer. However, 4S shops are not permitted to sell vehicles from other manufacturers.

What Causes Audi to Burn Engine Oil?

Car burning engine oil occurs when the lubricating oil on the cylinder walls is carried into the combustion chamber by the piston rings, resulting in the phenomenon of oil burning. The causes and solutions for car oil burning are introduced as follows: Causes of Oil Burning: Car burning engine oil happens due to gaps in the sealing between the engine piston rings and the cylinder walls. During vehicle operation, the rapid movement of the piston rings carries the lubricating oil on the cylinder walls into the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning. Solutions: Use high-quality fuel; clean carbon deposits, which can be removed using cleaning lubricants; regularly check and replace the air filter as needed; if too much oil is added, you can use a syringe connected to a tube inserted into the dipstick to extract excess oil, or visit a repair shop or 4S store to use professional equipment for extraction. Pay attention to the amount of oil added, ensuring the oil level is between the maximum and minimum marks on the dipstick.

How Often Should You Change the Antifreeze in Your Car?

Car antifreeze should be changed every two years or 40,000 kilometers, which is just a general guideline. The actual replacement interval depends on the specific usage conditions. For some commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the antifreeze replacement cycle may be shorter. Antifreeze, also known as coolant with antifreeze properties, is designed to prevent the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine block or cylinder head due to expansion. Car antifreeze has a shelf life, typically around two years, though some high-quality, long-life variants can last up to five years or even longer. If the original antifreeze hasn't been changed for eight years but is still within its shelf life, appears clear without impurities or discoloration, it may still be usable. However, if impurities or discoloration are present, it indicates that the antifreeze has expired or oxidized, and its internal chemical composition may have degraded, making it unsuitable for use. In such cases, it is recommended to replace it promptly.
